    I thought it would be cool to post your Gateway P-6860/6831 3DMark06 scores. Make sure you post your resolution, and you score. :) I'll be running mine in a second.

    lol. Yea. But the sad thing is, I now have to "unoptimize" everything(Including switching back to .83) to get better gaming performance. 3DMark is so weird.

    awsome score dook but remember guys its 1280x800 and not 1280x1024 the true score and thats not to rain on your parade dook in the least bit but people with 7811s may get confused cause they can run the native 3dmark res as where 6831/60s cant unless they plug into an external monitor.

    Indeed. It seems to me like, for this sub-forum at least, 1280x800 should be the 3DM "standard" as it's a resolution everyone can utilize without having to use an external monitor.

    1440x900 is almost equal to the pixels that 1280x1024 has, vertical pixels are harder to render though i think, still do it at that res and it should be almost the same.

    Yeah, used my TV. And yes Nasnail, I do in fact need to join that Holy Club. Now, if only I can find a local seller, as I don't buy things online.

    And Dook, big personal mess, catch up with you about it soon.

    Yeah, I've had a few bad deals, so I just stay away. I honestly don't mind taking a cab 100+ miles to pick it up, as long as I don't have to deal with any online transactions.

    I usually tune my system with the Crysis Benchmark Tool . If it's stable there, it's stable everywhere. 3DMark06 scores are definitely not an indication of gaming performance. That being said, that is a very nice GPU OC. :)

    Hello all, I am new here. I have a P6831FX but in my device manager is says I have a GeForce 8800M GT, not GTS is that right? I thought it was supposed to come with the GTS?

    Any ideas? Maybe I have the wrong driver installed? I just did windows update to get the drivers...so any input is much appreciated.

    It's a GTS. You more than likely have the desktop driver installed. Look here for correct drivers and modified infs.

    Its what allows windows to see you are using a laptop gpu and not a desktop gpu. Be sure to download that along with the drivers. Heres a little install info.
