    Hey Guys,

    Recieved my M17x yesterday and have just run a 3dmark vantage score.

    My results are here ORB - Please login

    My GPU score was only H1822...

    Is this on par? I had a squiz on notbook checks average and it's way lower.

    I'm definately not in stealth mode and can't think of anything that would cause these even after a few searches in this forum.

    Thanks all.

    single 5870 - i720qm - 4gb 1333 - 2x500gb raid 0 - win 7 pro

    Guess there is nothing to worry about.

    Now to see if I can order a 5870 from Dell AU since xfire wasnt an option when I ordered :(

    Your score in high preset seems low, my wife's M15x score is H35XX+ and it only has a GTX260m with i7 720QM.
