    Hi,

    I've just run 3DMARK on the M17X R3, and on almost every test, my results are on par with a lowly Office PC, and well under a basic laptop. I have the latest NVIDIA drivers and stock GPU settings.

    This cant be right, I mean the 460m isn't great, but its also not THAT bad surely!

    For example, running the Sky Diver test yields me a whopping score of 2914 (Office PC 2050, basic laptop 5573)

    Fire Strike test yields 1129 (Office PC 520, and Notebook 1479)

    Most decent games are unplayable.

    Help!
