OCZ DIY Gaming Notebook 15″

Cinebench 10 is a benchmarking tool based on the powerful 3D software Cinema 4D. The suite uses complex renders to guage the performance of the entire PC system in both single-core and multi-core modes. Testing was performed a total of 5 times with the highest and lowest results being omitted and an average created from the remaining 3 results.

3DMark is a popular synthetic gaming benchmark used by many gamers and overclockers to gauge the performance of their PC’s. All 3DMark runs were performed a total of 5 times with the highest and lowest results being removed and an average calculated from the remaining 3 results.

POV-Ray is short for the Persistence of Vision Raytracer, a tool for producing high-quality computer graphics. The freely available software suite is bundled with a benchmarking sceneÂ that uses many of POV-Ray’s internal features to heavily test the abilities of the CPU.

Result Observations

The DIY once again takes a lead across the board, with the integrated ATI HD3650 GPU putting out some decent results in both 3DMark suites and showing better performance than the Nvidia 8600M GT used in the MSIÂ Turbobook. POV-Ray and Cinebench rendering also show a preference to the DIY, mainly thanks to its higher-end CPU.
