It is quite easy to find 3DMark scores of most laptop graphics cards, but actual gaming performance is often quite different, and harder to find. You can contribute with your benchmarks to help people choose the best laptop for their gaming needs.
In order to get results to compare many different laptops, I have chosen 4 demos that include an internal benchmark (click to go to the demo download page):
Crysis - Devil May Cry 4 (benchmark alone) - World in Conflict - X3: Terran Conflict
Excepting X3: Terran Conflict, the rest of the games seem to be optimized for Nvidia cards, this has to be taken into account when comparing laptops with graphics cards from different brand.
The settings to be used are (AA and filters off if not stated otherwise):
Crysis GPU benchmark (both DX9 and DX10, if possible; you can find useful the this benchmarking tool)
Devil May Cry 4 (both DX9 and DX10)
World in Conflict
X3: Terran Conflict
If you are not in the mood of running all the tests, you should at least run the 1024x768, Medium setting ones, so that all the cards can be compared in at least 1 test. All tests have to be ran without overclocking (you can send later the results with overclocking to compare them).
To send your results (only average FPS) you can fill this worksheet. You may include screenshots of the results obtained. You should pack the worksheet and screenshots in a ZIP or RAR file.
You can send your results to info@optimitza.cat or post them in the forum. To discuss anything related to this topic, use the forums or the topic at Notebook Review.
