Alienware Aurora m9700 17-inch Notebook
Testing - NFSMW
 Need for Speed Most Wanted is one of the latest in a long series of NFS titles. This game is extremely taxing even on some of the highest-end hardware available today if you crank up the video settings. And of course, we do crank up the settings for benchmarking. Unfortunately this game does not support a demo recording feature and there is no built-in benchmarking utility so we play a few circuits and record them with FRAPS. All of the in-game video settings are maxed out and the only variables are AA, AF, and resolution. Since the AA and AF sliders represent different values on ATI and NVIDIA cards we just test AA and AF at their minimum and maximum respective settings at each resolution.
