    I forget my actual score, but I know I averaged 27-32 FPS when I ran it. It seems like my score was very similar.

    Here's an example for reference purposes. The scores are entirely dependent on the settings; these are default at 1920x1080, except that the 580M might have been overclocked to 700/1650(825)/1400 (can't remember, but that has become my default setting recently).

    Ok guys, time to kiss and make up.

    On Radeon you just hit FN+F7 to bring up the switching window and insure you are on High-Performance Graphics.

    Just a glitch with the benchmark, you would never get 700+ points on integrated anyway, so I don't know why it was mentioned.

    Why are you concerned that you are running integrated? Yoda's observation is 100% correct: There's no way you are on integrated graphics with those numbers

    I'm not concerned, I knew I wasn't on integrated graphics.

    The same happens in 3DMark11. It's just how the application reads it, you can specifically tell 3DMark11 to use the dedicated card for results, not sure about Unigine.

    The Revelator : quick question, do you use nvidia inspector to overclock to that level? also you have your settings on there could you tell me what they mean so i can try to do the same thing? im guessing 1st is core clock, 2nd shader clock, 3rd memory clock?

    You can use Nv Inspector to overclock, but in this instance I use a modified vbios with P0 (3d) clocks set to 700 Core, 1650 Memory, 1400 Shaders (linked - 2x Core automatically), with the remaining video states (P1, P8 and P12) remaining at stock levels. You can then use Inspector to further tweak all video states as desired. MSI Afterburner also works, but can only address P0 clocks.

    No, you can use Nv Inspector or Afterburner as is, with no need to alter anything in the video bios.
