I'm a little confused with how my laptop runs supreme commander, I've been looking for people with the Go7800/7900/7950 GTX who have run the tests as well but haven't been able to find anyone else with whom I can compare results to.
(To run SupComs performance test, amend your shortcut target to look like this:
"C:\Program Files\THQ\Gas Powered Games\Supreme Commander\bin\SupremeCommander.exe" /map perftest
)
Ok, so the two machines I am comparing are my M1710: Vista Ultimate, 2gb 667mhz ram, T2500, 7900GTX
And my desktop: Windows XP SP2, 2Gb at 667mhz, 8800GTX, and an E6400. This machine was built pretty much to spec off of the guide at TomsHardware and is running at 3.15ghz perfectly stable and cool. Like the review states, the proc is blazing fast and should easily outperform the M1710's T2500...
Ok, and the scores come in:
M1710 (Sim): 8050
M1710 (Render): 3500
Desktop (Sim): 8100
Desktop (Render): 8150
I'm concerned about the M1710, first off why is the Sim (CPU) score so high? I'm curious if you other T2x00 users see similar results. The OC E6400 should thrash the T2500 but they are neck and neck for some reason. Not that I'm complaining of course
And, Is this low of a Render score normal? I know it wouldn't be the 8000+ of the 8800, but 3500 seems a bit low. My powermizer isn't showing up anywhere anymore and I'm wondering if it's being throttled back or something.
