[stars_fan]

Ok so I've got everything setup on my new iMac.

Geekbench score - 3951
xbench score - 191.48

Windows 7 Performance Ratings
Processor - 6.3
Memory - 5.5
Graphics - 6.0
Gaming Graphics - 5.3
Primary Hard Drive - 5.9

At this time I couldn't get 3dMark06 to run.

If 3dmark06 locks up, just change the shortcut and append -nosysteminfo at the end.

That should allow it to run.

And the 3.06 4850 scored a 131 for Test2.1

Does this mean there isn't that much of a difference between GT120 and GT130 in terms of performance?

 

[Macole]

Acording to this test there is not much difference between gt130 and 4850 neither

gt120-->gt130 8%

gt120-->4850 14%


gt130-->4850 5,5%

Did you do anything special to get Windows 7 to rate your computer successfully? I'm not getting it to recognize the graphics card on my 2.93 GHz iMac with GT 120. Hence I get no Aero glass look etc,

Yes there are difference in performance. GT130 has more than just 256mb more VRAM.

Here are specs:

You should read Barefeats review of the 4850. It trounces the GT130 in actual GAMES (you know, the reason people pay extra for a high performance GPU?).

It is over 40% faster in COD4 and 30% faster in many other modern games.

Update your graphics card driver then try and refresh to see if you get your Windoze ratings.

Mine's recognized out of the box. With updated video drivers I'm getting ratings in the 6.x range for both graphics scores.

Where do we get these updated video drivers?

See if Windoze updates it automatically from device manager. If not go directly to Nvidia's site I see they now drop down/list the Nvidia GT 100 series cards. Don't forget your back in Windows you simply update the drivers just like you would on any PC.

I'm wondering if I will be able to run Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3.

I don't see why not. Blizzard's games never seem to be too terribly graphics intensive.

Hello,
could someone please post 3DMark scores of the GT120 or 9400 card please ?
