Still don't know why we get so different CPU scores, don't forget to put it on High Performance mode.
Why did you return the G74 ?
Today I tested Crysis 2 in Extreme settings (only above is ULTRA ) and 1080p and got 28 fps average; with DX11 enabled. This GPU is quite a beast. I would like to give a test to the 670m although... I come from a low end pc and I am always tempted to max out the graphics in everything in this notebook, but I would like to see more of 30 fps and above also by taking things a bit lighter. Don't get me wrong, 660m is incredible, but it can not extremely max out such demanding games like BF3 or Cry2, still gets very close.
What games have you tested so far ?
I returned the G74 against my will. I loved the machine and it had amazing cooling so it could be pushed just as far overclocking wise. I ended having to take it back because it was having some hardware problems where graphics card driver would just crash will browsing the internet and it would not wake up from sleep properly. I would have been happy if it worked. I am, however, really liking the feel of the new G75. I find that it over all has a sleeker feel to it and it feels more refined as a product. The PowerGear Hybrid utility on the G75 I find to look much better.
Here are the games that I have been testing so far to get the best results on my unit. I, like you, like great settings but it also has to be playable.
Skyrim:
Resolution: 1920x1080
Main Setting: Ultra
Special Settings: AA 2x, AF 4x, Shadows High
FPS: 50 - 60 and sometimes around 40 if it is a heavy scene.
Overclocked Status: +135 Core, +375 Memory Clock (Not Required for smooth play)
Crysis:
Resolution: 1920x1080
Main Setting: High, Unplayable at Ultra High
Special Settings: AA 2x
FPS: 35 - 55, Very playable
Overclocked Status: Not Required
Metro 2033:
Resolution: 1920x1080
Main Setting: High, Unplayable at Ultra High
Special Settings: AAA, AF 4X
FPS: 14 - 30, Semi-Playable
Overclocked Status: +135 Core, +375 Memory
Notes: I do think we will see better performance with this game as we see the graphic drivers for this card mature.
Portal 2:
Resolution: 1920x1080
Main Setting: High
Special Settings: AA 8X
FPS: 58 - 60
Overclocked Status: No overclock
Notes: It eats this game for breakfast.
