Comparable 3dmark 06 scores?

I just benched my system with 3dmark 06. I got 17763 marks, is this too low of a score given my hardware? (hardware in sig)

 

I can get in 1900 range in 3dmark 06. But i have 2720qm.

 

That looks a little low, the 6970M is supposed to have that score on average. Try something else like 3DMark Vantage or 3DMark 11.

Edit: Didn't notice the 2630QM, but still you should try the other benchmarks to make sure.

 

Did his udervolt by any chance affected his score?

 

it shouldn't have. I was running full clocks according to gpu-z

 

06 is mostly cpu bound

try running vantage its a better bench for gpu's.

 

I see. Its probably coz of your cpu. Try vantage and 3dmark11.

 

I get P13596 3DMarks in vantage. again, is this normal or under par?

 

what you get for the gpu score in vantage? if around 13k+- then your good.
my stock vantage is about 14k total with a 2820, so i think your pretty well off.

 

Ok my vantage score for the GPU is a 12600.......... but its detecting my card as a 6970m...... when I clearly have a 6990m. Why is that? Would drivers have anything to do with it?

EDIT
I was checking my hardware device id's, and my graphics card is 0x6720......... the same as a 6970m. However through GPUz, it shows that I have 1120 unified shaders. Does the 6990m use the same device id as the 6970m?

 

I hope it does because if so that means that the 6990's should work in the R2.

 

Mine shows the same thing. I think that drivers and utilities haven't yet had time to catch up with coding for the new 6990M's. They'll adjust.

 

interesting find: i flashed my original vbios and my score went up to 12800 up from 12600. I don't know if its a vbios thing or just chance. As for the R2, i see no reason why the 6990m wouldn't work. Same device id, same power consumption, just bigger pipelines.
