Macbook Pro Dual Core 2.4ghz, 2 Gigs Ram, 8600m GT.
So I started messing around with Nividia systems tools in Windows XP and Wow.
8600M GT - Stock C 470/M 500/S 975 Operating temps 71 - 82C under load.
I could run Crysis 1440x900 with everything on Low except Effects... No shaders... and I got 25 - 30 FPS.
Company of Heroes 1440x900 everything on Max and 2X AA I was getting 12 - 37 FPS in the performance test. Average of 34 FPS
I bumped it up to Core 500/ Mem 700/ Shader 1200. Temps are running 70 - 80C under Load
Now Crysis runs at a smooth 32 - 40 FPS with everything on high and shaders on Med.
Company of Heroes now runs 20 - 60 FPS in the Performance Test same settings. Average of 51 FPS
WOW... the 8600M GT even though it's old can really kick some major ass when overclocked. (for a Mobile chip anyway)
