Question:
Am I Being A Baby? Are 3D Mark Scores the Holy Grail?
Ok...I just had my bottle and I think I wet myself...but.....just bought a Sony FX series with the 8400GT. 3DMark06 is around 2500. I see that if I had the 8600 I could get around 5000.
I spend most of my computer time online and writing. But I also play some games and do a bit of HD video editing.
Thought about the new ASUS G1 but not crazy about the 1600 resolution. My eyes can see it fine but it's still a pain in the butt for all the web surfing that I do.
So I guess I'm wondering if I'm being a huge baby about the extra 3D scores. Will my video editing and gaming really see a huge difference? This sony was 2K and I know I can pick up the ASUS with that. Or isn't there a Toshiba with the 8700 card?
If anyone can yell at me and tell me that I'm being a little brat I would greatly appreciate it. I guess I just want the best performance for my money.
Anyway, here comes my mom with some creamed spinach and corn. Yummm.
Thanks in advance for your help!

The 8400mGT should be fine for casual gaming. Don't expect to be playing Crysis on high settings, though.

The Sony FX has a smaller screen, so 3dmarks will be higher with a diff card...

There was this on the G1s, which is pretty good:

That's the GDDR2, right?
How'd they get that? Massive overclocking?

Well, it's at a low resolution, and it's overclocked.

Ya, it was overclocked and at a lower resolution. The G1s, currently, has the fastest 8600GT, apparently GDDR3 instead of GDDR2.
