3DMark05 vs. 3DMark06 on a notebook PC

[acidfast7]

Guys,

I have a HP dv4000 w/2.0GHz P-M, 128MB Mobility X700, and 1.25GB PC4200.

For 3DMark05 the score is 2463 3D Marks.

For 3DMark06 the score is 573 3D Marks.

This seems like a large performance hit for something my video card can't even use (SM3 and/or HDR).

Could someone clarify what the difference between 3DM05 and 3DM06 and why they would cause a performance decrease with the Mobility x700?

Thanks in advance.

3Dmark scores do not correlate between release versions, it even says so on futuremark's site.

Basically, 06 uses move complex shaders than 05 does, and some other stuff that I'm not going to mention. Basically, as I recal it would take a 7800GTX to get your 05 score in 06.

LOL - not even! Mid-2ks are achievable by a range of hardware - some of which is even available in notebooks. A mobility X1600 or GeForce 6800Go should have no problem getting into that range. Check out the '06 scores thread on [H].
