Hmm I see. I'm debating between the gt68x and gt78x. One one hand I want the portability of a 15 inch but the 17 inch seems more financially efficient.

I am also in the same boat, upgrading from the laptop in my signature. In to see more benchmarks of the 570m.

Keith1341. maybe one more 3DMark Vantage score with psyhx off mode ?
Can you post your monitor ID from Monitor Asset Manager?

No problem. I'll post the Hardware ID of the screen and run Vantage without Physx. Be back in a little bit......

Edit: Updated the first post with a Vantage run without Physx.

Here's a Monitor Asset Manager screenshot.

I just pulled the trigger on a GT683DX from Powernotebooks. In the end I decided a 15inch would be better for my needs. Can't wait!

Here's a Monitor Asset Manager screnshot.

Thx. The same what I have. Nice one.

Here is my Vanatge score P 10156

I have to dl the newer version and run the test again

The super high CPU score would seem to indicate the test was ran without disabling PhysX..... which will yield inaccurate Vantage results with NVIDIA GPU's. Could you do THIS, and run the test again?

Also, could you put GPU-Z in the screenshot too, so we can see the clocks you are you are running the benchmark with?

Thanks!

By the way for those interested, Power notebooks has these in stock, but they have the one with only one hard drive, perfect for me anyway since I'm going to put in an SSD. It's also about 100 cheaper than the 432US version.

The scary thing is, that's a normal score for sandy bridge, that's just how much intel dominates atm.

Ummmm, sorry, but I have to question this. HERE is a screenshot of a GT683DXR with a 2720QM, PhysX disabled....... as it should be when testing an NVIDIA GPU with 3DMark Vantage. This CPU score (19138) is more representative of what folks should be seeing of the 2720QM in Vantage. You can read of this in the FutureMark forums. Also, the 3DMark Vantage link you provided HERE, confirms this...... a 2720QM, Disabled PPU=True, CPU Score 19788.

dave-P's 3DMark Vantage test is showing an unusually high CPU score of 45088, which tends to indicate PhysX was not disabled for testing.

Oh sorry, it was the front page result I thought you were talking about.
