    If you update your GPU driver to, at least 275.33 or the Verde Beta 280.19 (can't confirm versions in between) you MAY see a roughly 200 point boost to your 3DMark11 score.

    I noticed while comparing Chastity's 3DE stock scores with my A1 scores, the only difference was the driver version. After further research (basically me spending an hour sifting through details of other similar specs) I decided that the driver was the issue.

    FYI, stock drivers that came pre-installed gave me a score of 2037, give or take a couple. New drivers, a score of 2220.
