notebook benchmarks on doom3 (mobility 9700)

[FlipCody]

Here are some benchmarks with my notebook in doom3. I have a Dell Inspiron 9100 with 2.8 ghz P4, I gb of ram, and the 64mb flavor of the mobility 9700:

43.5 fps 800x600 MED noAA/noAF
34 fps 800x600 MED noAA/8xAF
25.7 fps 800x600 MED 2xAA/8xAF
40 fps 800x600 HIGH noAA/noAF
28.5 fps 1024x768 MED noAA/noAF

For each of the above I ran demo1 3 times and took average of last 2 runs. This is with the cat 4.9 betas. I have the 9700 overclocked to 513/304. I imagine the 9100s and XPSs that have a 3.4 ghz p4 and a 128mb mobility 9700 will score significantly better. Anyone in here with this setup?

I'm quite pleased with this performance but I'm looking forward to upgrading to the mobility 9800 (w/256mb) which just came out.

If you go into your DoomConfig.cfg and change line seta image_downSizeLimit "xx" to a higher variable, usually depending on your system memory. I have a gig so I set mine at 384, and it improved fps by ALOT!

Many have done it and it doesn't make the game look worser or better, simply draws more fps.

That is cool!


Now what I don't understand is why Id doesn't do this to begin with?


Anyways, back on topic:

That laptop isn't doing too bad! Thank for the benchies...
