Performance – 3DMark Vantage
3DMark is a useful tool to compare graphics performance against other systems in a normalized manner.

In the following tests, we have different classes of GPUs being tested – so this is not a straight-forward apples-to-apples scenario. The NVIDIA GTX 260M will score lower because it’s mid-high GPU, whereas the other GPUs are rated higher.

  • Asus G51J: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260M 1GB (mobile)
  • Core i7-Extreme 920XM: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280M 1GB (mobile)
  • Core i5-661 desktop: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 1GB
  • Core i7-750 desktop: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 1GB
