9. Oblivion
The XPS M1730’s powerful processor pushes it ahead in Oblivion’s cave scene, but the system won’t run the game at the panel’s native resolution.
In Oblivion’s outdoor scene, the XPS M1730 is playable at 1280x1024 pixel resolution, while the Area-51 m9750 is limited to 1024x768. Once again, the XPS M1730 didn’t run the benchmark at its 1920x1200 native panel resolution, but even if it could, the frame rate would be unplayable.
Hey since you guy wrote this review alienware has released an updated version of the m9750 which has dual mobile 8700s which give it directX 10 support and they added the option of putting in a creative X-FI sound card as well. I would love to know how well those dual 8700s work, together are they more powerful than a single 8800 GTX?????, And how may full-str3eam processors are active in each one????
