OK Welcome to part 3 of my informal review., 3D benchmarks. Again, all resolutions will be the native resolution. 1280x1024 for the desktop and 1366x768 for the laptop, unless it is unsupported. In that case I'll go down to 720p or 1280x720.
3dmark 2011, basic edition, "P" presets (1280x720)
desktop: P 1071
laptop: P 3358
Batman arkham asylum, steam. very high detail level, physx normal
desktop :
min = 22, max= 97, ave = 72
laptop run :
min = 22, max = 61, ave = 43
lets lower the phsx from normal to off
desktop: min = 41, max = 231, ave = 127
laptop: min = 21, max = 95, ave = 69
Devil may cry 4 benchmark. Desktop @ 1280x1024, laptop @ 1280x720. All settings at super high, AA off. The scores are FPS for scenes 1 through 4
desktop: 198, 182, 221, 133. Rank S
laptop: 85, 58, 109, 60. Rank A
desktop: ave = 62, min = 6, max = 107
laptop: ave = 27, min = 7, max = 43
JX3 benchmark. physx off
desktop: ave = 36, min = 4, max = 109
laptop: ave = 19, min = 1, max = 39
JX3 benchmark. cuda accelerated animation bench. cuda on
desktop: ave = 32, min = 29, max = 34
laptop: ave = 13, min = 13, max = 16
JX3 benchmark. cuda accelerated animation bench. cuda off
desktop: ave = 12, min = 11, max = 20
laptop: ave = 11, min = 9, max = 17
Cinebench 64 bit 11.5 openGL test
desktop: 31.94fps
laptop: 21.41
Mafia 2, steam. AA off, shadow quality high, ambient occlusion on, anisotropic filtering 1x, geometry detail high, physx medium
desktop: 20.9, rank D
laptop: 20.7, rank D
with phsyx off
desktop: 44.7, rank C
laptop: 30.8, rank D
Just cause 2 steam, dark tower test. texture detail high, shadows high, AA off, anisotropic filtering 16x, water detail very high, objects detail very high, decals on, soft particles on, high res shadows on, SSAO high, point light specular on
desktop: 38.02fps
laptop: 24.28
Unigene heaven basic edition, dx 11. shaders high, tesselation normal, asnisotropy 4, AA off
desktop: 1432
laptop: 375
Lost planet 2 benchmark dx 11 test A. AA none, motion blur on, shadow detail high, texture detail high, rendering level high, DX 11 features high
desktop: 54.7 fps
laptop: 16.7 fps
Lost planet 2 benchmark dx 11 test B. AA none, motion blur on, shadow detail
high, texture detail high, rendering level high, DX 11 features high
desktop: 30.3 fps
laptop: 10.3 fps
So, except for one test, Mafia 2 physx on, the desktop pretty much wins. This is expected as games lean heavily on the GPU, and my desktop has a better GPU which wins over the faster CPU of the laptop. But this is not unexpected as this is not a real hardcore gaming laptop. But its quite capable nonetheless. I've played batman AA on it with physx off and the settings down one click and its very playable.
OK thats part 3. Next is part 4, hard drive benchmarks
the end
