F3SA-A1 ATI Mobility HD2600 Game and Benchmark

Just look at the FPS in the corner of those screen shots to give a ruff idea of play ability, I personally don't play any games that give me lower then 50 FPS.

omg... I play WiC at 12, U3 at 20 and Oblvion at 25. Are you on 60hz? Because the max FPS you can actually detect at 60hz is 30 >-<

Actually the max frame rate displayable on a 60Hz screen would be 60fps.

Yes, but I'm talking about what you can detect. TVs run at 24FPS

You can "detect" a lot higher than 60fps, it's just that the screen won't display any higher than 60fps. This discussion has been had way too many times on this forum, please do a search. Film runs at 24fps, yes, what's your point?

despite of all the problem with the c90s i might considering gettin rid of my c90s and gettin the Asus F3SA-A1 , bad move? what do you guys think? from ken's ss of the games its pretty decent, i think i will be happy with those numbers (fps)

anychance of someone taking out the 2600 from their laptop? or does someone have a link to some pictures of one? I am wonder about its size/dimensions, I am tempted to attemt grafting one into my w3j

[fabarati]

well, even if it fits (which is not likely), it's not gonna work. Your Motherboard bios doesn't support the HD2600.

You can, that also means switching back from 1680x1050 to 1280x800 , that might be hard

It's definetely a good laptop

Finally got Crysis to work on F3SA, stock drivers didn't work (black screen), Catalyst 7.09 didn't work (crashed).

Step 1:
download Catqalyst 7.10 (downloaded it last week but can't install, found out the driver I download was corrupted, re-download and it worked)

Step 2:
Download mobility modder to modify the driver:
http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool/

It also support X1600 so W3J, S96J and Z96J owners should download 7.10 if you want to play Crysis.

Crysis demo DX10 mode:
F3SA-A1
T7500
2GB RAM
ATI HD2600 512MB DDR2

Game setup (same settings as G1S-A1 I tested a while ago)

That's pretty impressive Ken! Have you been able to overclock or test with 3gb Ram?

EDIT: Did the new driver increase 3DMark06 score?
