    Hi All,
    Can you have a look at my scores that i have attached?
    I am getting low comparison score for processor and memory, my m15x has the stock drivers supplied from alienware
    Do you think I need to update my drivers?

    Chipset driver version: 6.0.6001.18000
    nvidia driver version: 7.15.11.5655

    thanks
    pete

    Those results are garbage in my opinion. Retest using these four programs.

    3dmark Vantage
    3dmark 06
    PCmark Vantage
    PCmark 05

    (Use the free trial versions)

    Tell us your results as that is what everyone uses. I am having you use Vantage as well as 06 / 05 because most people still use 06 predominantly.

    Now you see why I recommended to test using those programs as the results are much better :).

    If you need help feel free to search around on the threads because I know this issue of the drivers has come up.
