Intel Core i7-2630QM, 2.0 GHz - NVIDIA GeForce 540M - Toshiba Qosmio F750-F10 Intel Core i5-2410M, 2.3 GHz - Radeon HD 6470M - Sony Vaio S - VPC-SB1s1EW

We are aware of the fact that notebook configurations show significant deviatons. Because of this we recommend to only take a closer look at those benchmarks which show direct CPU performance.

With Intels launch of the X79 chipset and corresponding CPUs we upgraded our testsystem with an ENGTX 580 graphics card from ASUS. This has the consequence that the benchmark results regarding Futuremark Total Score and gaming benchmarks at high-resolutions aren't comparable to the ones we got using a GTX 285.
