8600M GT 3DMark06 Benchmarks Using Different nForce/nVision Drivers
Drivers up to 181.00, Updated December 19th 2008
3D Mark 06 Scores:
SM2: Represents the ability to produce Shader Model 2.0 effects
HDR/ SM3: Represents the ability to produce High Dynamic Range lighting and Shader Model 3.0 effects
SM2 + HDR: Represents both the SM2 and HDR scores combined, this column shows the most reliable performance of the driver
Notes: 3D Mark 06 results only show how the drivers perform under 3D Mark 06, they do not necessarily represent the driver's performance in real world games.
Game Scores:
Counter-Strike: Source
Engine: Source
Notes: Contains most effects found commonplace in today's games. It doesn't majorly strain the computer and is a good indication of just how high a graphics driver can pump out extra frames per second
Half-Life 2: Lost Coast
Engine: Source
Notes: Same graphics style as Counter-Strike: Source but utilizes more effects, particularly HDR lighting and complex water reflections, though some maps in Counter-Strike: Source offer this, they aren't to be found in the CSS benchmark
Crysis
Engine: CryEngine 2
Notes: Currently the god of game graphics, on Very High settings that is, it uses a vast range of effects such as Volumetric Clouds, Water Geometry, HDR lighting, Complex Shadows and Shading, Complex Reflections, Complex lighting used by other effects, and a Particle system
No overclocking used in all benchmarks. System tested on is to the left. Benched using 1280x800 no AA in 3D Mark 06
(VISTA64) 3D Mark 06 Scores sorted by Driver Version - Lowest to Highest

(VISTA64) 3D Mark 06 Scores Sorted by SM2 + HDR Score - Lowest to Highest

Counter-Strike: Source is tested with recommended settings, no AA using proprietary benchmark (VIDEO STRESS TEST in game menu)
Half-Life 2: Lost Coast is tested with recommended settings, no AA using proprietary benchmark (VIDEO STRESS TEST in game menu)
Crysis is tested with medium settings, no AA using proprietary GPU benchmark (Benchmark_GPU.bat in Bin32 folder)
The scores represent the average number of frames per second

@lord_neno: What resolution did you run that test with? Also, in the pictures you posted - 3DMark06 is showing you have a GeForce GO 8600m GS, why is that? What .inf did you use? Was it one from the original_inf.zip file? If so, what was the exact name of that .inf file? There are a TON of other .inf's in there. Reason I'm asking is - I tried to duplicate your results, and couldn't even come close.
well i have tried the 175.70 and now 4800 3dmarks06… this restuls are WITH ORIGINAL INF… with modded infs only shows 4400points…
I donwload the drivers from laptopvideo2go.com and when exec the .exe, in the folder are a file "original_inf(s).zip"… unzip ALL the files (only wokrs 1,but i dont see the name :P) into drivers folders and run setup.exe
You can download the 174.74 and 175.70 from nvidia.com (this drivers works whit 8600gt without modds)
Well i don´t know why 3dmark06 shows 8600m gs… since I didn´t use ASUS drivers it shows 8600m gs…

i now use the first version from asus 101.19. every new driver, i tried reduce my results about 1000 points.
Now i want to know if the official beta-driver from nvidia is better than the drivers from Asus or laptopvideo.
the driver 179.28 sucks i use 181.20 dox from laptopvideo2go is the best driver for the asus g1s runs all games good and cpu,gpu are cooler,is very stable
runs brother in arms hell's ,race driver grid,lost planet extreme,medal of honor airborne,crysis warhead,gta4,front lines fuel of war,burn out paradise city all new games
