    I think it was about 15-30% increase in performance was it? Or is my estimate still too low? :p

    8800M GTX SLI outperforms a single 9800M GTX. But still not a huge difference.

    » GeForce 9800M GTS SLI
    » Mobility Radeon HD 3870 X2
    » GeForce 8800M GTX SLI
    » Mobility Radeon HD 3850 X2
    » Mobility Radeon HD 4870
    » Quadro FX 3700M
    » GeForce 9800M GTX
    » Mobility Radeon HD 4850
    » GeForce 9800M GT
    » GeForce 9800M GTS
    » GeForce 8800M GTX

    Notebookcheck usually put default (not overclocked) average score; may not be always correct.
    But those 16k scores are overclocked scores. 15154 is the stock right ? That too with an extreme Quad core, therefore a 14k mark for a standard Core 2 sound about right.

    no, that is a q9550@15,154
    extreme cpu has no baring in this scoring since it cant be over clocked.
    and they ran their first set of test using a quad core q9550
    and most people with high end laptops want quads and not duals
    and 99 percent of people in the high end things of laptops are looking for over clocked, not stock. although i like to look at what stock gets because that's where a system generally runs at.
    so 14 k was about 8 months ago. that number has long since risen from there. plenty of threads where folks are averaging around 14.8 & up for stock scores.

    8800m gt sli is better than 9800m gtx
    and 88m is same as 9800m gt ...
    Thinking economically, 8800m gtx is more than enough and if u want real power then get a quad sli geforce gtx 295

    I wanna know why Notebookcheck put the 9800m GTS SLI ahead of my 3870's in SLI. Those guys smoke something. The 13k is a low score for these cards, even when the CPU isn't OCd it is touching 14k on my rig. *shrugs* I wanna see some GTS SLI benchies.
