    Hi,

    Does anyone have any information relating to benchmarks for the 14" T61p graphics card and recommendations for most optimal drivers to use?

    There is a plethora of info for the 256mb version but none it seems for the so called "crippled" 128mb version of this card.

    Thanks!

    I use 196.04 Forceware with the modded INF from Laptopvideo2go.com

    Some sample frame rates for you:

    Bioshock high/medium, 1024x786: 20-45 fps
    TF2 native resolution all high, no HDR and no AA: 45 fps
    HL2 EP2 all high, no AA - 25-30 fps

    If you need a 14" form factor, nothing beats this laptop. Obviously the 15.4" will perform better, especially at higher resolutions where the extra GDDR3 will help.

    What do you get in 3DMark 2006, if you have time to run it.

    On native resolution for TF and HL, you mean the- are you on SXGA+?

    Yes I'm also very interested in a 3dmark06 for this card.

    Thanks for the replies. I am definitely more optimistic about the gaming capabilities of this laptop now -- The 169.04 drivers REALLY helped! :)
