With an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280M and 1GB of DDR3 memory, the reference system we are testing has one of the fastest GPUs currently available at retailers.
3DMark Vantage paints a mixed picture. On one hand, the GeForce GTX 280M appears to be a horrible performer (this isn’t true as we’ll see in a second). On the other hand, the CPU performance appears to be astronomical compared to the i7 860 desktop processor – thus contradicting all the other CPU-intensive benchmarks we’ve run so far in this article.
So what to believe? We’ll settle this by looking at real world gaming.
