    Hi guys, I noticed that my CPU and GPU score is quite low compared to others I believe?

    Check my 3Dmark Vantage score here : http://service.futuremark.com/resultAnalyzer.action?resultId=1665169&resultType=19
    I set everything to high except the resolution to the default "performance" profile.

    Here's my temperature:

    Do you guys know what's the problem?
    I've just installed my new QX9300 CPU and flashed my BIOS from B14 to zfactor's 0.28 BIOS then overclocked my CPU to 3.06GHZ. Using 4850 Crossfire GPU.

    Anyone with experience please give me some opinions and comments on my system. For more information about my laptop, please click on my sig below. Thanks. ;)

    Not sure about the CPU one since i dont recall them, but the GPU score is fine. Also it depends on which drivers you are using, some arent good enough for benchmarking.

    Yup. CPU is exactly what is should be for those clocks. I'll run a GPU only bench for my 3870s and get back to you. Yours will obviously be higher. I just don't know how much. And I'll run the bench with my CPU at 3.06 so it's all even.

    EDIT: My GPU score is 6,500. Don't know if that helps. You're well above that.
