Thought I'd share my results on some benchmarking I've been doing on my 5680.
Benchemall:
These were using the Sager drivers 7.97.

These next results were using the latest Omega drivers. Quite an improvement in UT2004.

I tried overclocking from 351/250 up to 400/250 with the Omegas, resulting in an improvement on UT2004, but only a few higher FPS at 1600X1200 resolution. Not sure if it's worth overclocking for such a slight improvement.

These results were using the latest DNA drivers. No improvement on the Sager drivers in UT2004, but a HUGE improvement on Call of Duty over both of the other drivers.

Unfortunately, I found that neither the Omega nor the DNA drivers supported DVD playback, at least with the WinDVD software that came with the notebook, so I had to revert back to the Sager drivers. Otherwise, I'd say for UT2004 fans to go with the Omegas, and for Call of Duty fans to go with the DNA drivers.
My 3DMark03 results using Sager drivers:
3DMark03
351/250 = 2981
Overclocked(400/250) = 3181
I'd be very interested to see other peoples' results, especially those with similar configurations and who have the 5690 with the 9700 as opposed to the 9600.
