When I bought my Dell XPS M1730 last summer I thought I was buying a really hot gaming laptop. Since that time I have been a little disappointed at the performance.
I wanted to get some feedback from this forum as to whether I am just expecting too much of my laptop or if maybe I have something configured wrong.
The specifications are:
Intel Core2 Duo CPU T9500 @ 2.60 GHz
Dual NVidia 8700M GT Video Cards
4 GB RAM
Primary 320 GB HDD
Second 200 GB HDD
I have set the NVidia control panel setting to the max performance setting
I downloaded the X3 Terran Conflict Rolling Demo and did several benchmarks. I would like to get some feedback on how well you all think my computer is doing. Here are the results:
