Mafia II Benchmarks - Lenovo ThinkPad W520 and HP DV6T Quad Edition

Several benchmark videos with different settings. I did not do a benchmark with less than the "slightly" above medium settings. I'm sure this game will run very smoothly on those settings.

Lenovo ThinkPad W520 Specs: 8GB RAM Intel Core i5-2540M @ 2.6GHz (up to 3.3GHz) 2 cores, 4 threads Nvidia Quadro 2000M with 2GB DDR3 1600x900 resolution (native)

HP Pavilion DV6T QE Specs: 6GB RAM Intel Core i7-2630QM @ 2.0GHz (up to 2.9GHz) 4 cores, 8 threads AMD Radeon HD 6770M with 1GB DDR5 1366x768 resolution (native)

1366x768, Slightly Above Medium Settings, NO APEX PhysX

Results: W520 Min 3.4 Max 125 Average 47.3 Rank C DV6T QE Min 6.2 Max 125 Average 26.9 Rank D

1366x768, Max Settings, NO APEX PhysX

Native Resolutions (W520 1600x900, DV6T QE 1366x768), Max Settings, APEX PhysX ON

Results: W520 Min 2.4 Max 100 Average 17.9 Rank E DV6T QE Min 6 Max 88.3 Average 15.4 Rank E

Conclusion:
Overall you can see that the Lenovo ThinkPad W520 offers a much better experience with Mafia II. It seems that physics are also handled better. These benchmark results surprised me a lot due to the fact that in previous benchmarks the HP DV6T QE has been the winner.
