Minor typo in the introduction.

Out of curiousity, why is the benchmark for the P157SM so much lower in 3DMark11 than the GT60-20D?

 

To be honest I’m not exactly sure what caused the score difference between the two devices. Future Mark is rather secretive about how it conducts its benchmarks so it’s difficult to point out what causes scores to deviate. In truth it could be any number of things. It could be the fact that the two devices are running on different versions of Windows or it could be that some of the software on the X3 is interfering with the test results.

Even though the two scores differ, I will say though that users can expect similar performance from both devices. The Eurocom X3 actually scored better in our BioShock Infinite testing averaging a higher FPS than the MSI GT 60.

 

The Eurocom X3 test at an average of 52 FPS, while the MSI GT 60 ran at an average of 50 FPS. Both were tested at Max settings with a 1920 x 1080 resolution.

 

Not a problem. Honestly though the margin was so small between the two that you would have a hard time noticing the performance differences without viewing benchmarks or FPS data.

 

Haswell and Ivy Bridge sure have been warm. I've kept out of the loop for a little while now, ever since Nehalem came course

Very impressive specification but a lot to keep cool! Kind of disappointing for its size but that was stress testing I was considering. Reminds me of the M570ETU I had
