The newest laptop in my stable.

Great lappy numbers

Great scores, especially the graphics.
Good to see them moving up, my older laptop graphics scores are low, but it does what I need it to

I realize WEI isn't the be-all and end-all, but it's fascinating to me that my on-board graphics on my laptop rate higher than the dedicated card on my desktop.
Laptop....


And desktop.....

Either one can do everything I need it to do, so I'm not stressing over it or planning to buy a new card for the desktop.

I'm just curious as to the why. I know the 9400GT is old, and the laptop is new, so I'm guessing that the difference must be speed related, since the 9400GT has more dedicated memory and total memory available. Am I right, or totally off base?

I don't think there is anything wrong with the video score as you are running two(2) monitors on the desktop.

Run the WEI with just the primary monitor and "video" WEI should go up.

At least that is my take on things.
Seems to me it would be like trying to run the new video cards such as the ATI 6900's or Nvidia 690's with one video card running two Unigine Heaven benchmarks on two 24" monitors at the same time with maxxed out settings.

Well, I just ran it with the secondary monitor disconnected, and sure enough, you were correct!


Fascinating!

I was right? I surprised myself.

If it does what you want and need that is all that matters.

Exactly right. I'm not a gamer, so it works just fine for me.

C'mon Randy. I've heard you have game...

My laptop has a mixed bag of 4.9 -> 5.3 which is pretty good. The lowest number is the graphics card, it is only 2.5 yrs old though :)
