    Hi guys,

    I've just installed the 169.04 drivers and run a 3dMark 06 benchmark test but I only got 766.

    Why is it so low. All the videos that the test ran I was only getting 1-2 fps.

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    I have an Acer 5920
    T7300 2.0GHz
    8600M GS
    2GB DDR2
    1GB Intel Turbo Memory


    Cheers

    Make sure powerplay is turned off and you have an ac adapter plugged in

    *Oh sorry not powerplay.. erm the nvidia version i dunno what its called

    + what resoloution did you run it in...

    You should be getting around 2500 range... (I think)

    The CPU portion of the test 0 to 1 to 2 FPS is normal. Anywhere else is a cause for concern. Make sure that your power settings (in windows) are set to maximum and that your laptop is plugged into a power source.

    Not sure what you mean by powerplay or the nvidia version...

    Hurrah, I reinstalled the drivers, re-ran 3dMark and got a result of 2369, which seems about right.

    Thanks for the help guys
