Kobalt G150 (Clevo P150HM with Geforce GTX485M) Gaming Laptop Review

Futuremark released 3DMark Vantage, on April 28, 2008. It is a benchmark based upon DirectX 10, and therefore will only run under Windows Vista (Service Pack 1 is stated as a requirement) and Windows 7.  This is the first edition where the feature-restricted, free of charge version could not be used any number of times. We are using the Entry preset.

We used the ‘Performance’ settings for our 3D Mark Vantage testing today.

These scores are very impressive for a notebook, especially the CPU score which reflects the great performance of these new mobile Sandy Bridge chips.

3DMark 11 is designed for testing DirectX 11 hardware running on Windows 7 and Windows Vista the benchmark includes six all new benchmark tests that make extensive use of all the new features in DirectX 11 including tessellation, compute shaders and multi-threading.

After running the tests 3DMark gives your system a score with larger numbers indicating better performance.

Trusted by gamers worldwide to give accurate and unbiased results, 3DMark 11 is the best way to test DirectX 11 under game-like loads.  We used a resolution of 1280 x 1024 at performance settings in this benchmark.

The G150 also scored very well in the latest iteration of 3dMark, rivalling many full fat desktop systems out there.
