    Hello. Recently on my G1s, I noticed that the pcmark05 and 3dmark06 scores were much lower than before. Before I would get 5500 for pcmark and 3800 for 3dmark, but now I'm only getting 5190 for pc and 3500 for 3dmark. I understand that these programs aren't accurate, but I've noticed a performance drop in bf2. All of the test were done with stock drivers. Can this be because of a defected graphic card? Last time I overclocked it and did the 3dmark test and then changed it back to stock clock. It wasn't overheating and there wasn't any artifacts. Anyone can help me with this one? Thanks.

    How charged is your battery? I seem to recall reading that if your battery is below a certain charge level, that your CPU will start operating at lower speed.

    Do not hold me to that though!

    It is confirmed that when your charge level is below 90% and working on ac, your CPU speed is decreased by 50%.
    were these tests done on battery or ac?

    Were these tests all done after a fresh reboot? Same background processes running in both? Either way its only a 200point difference in 3DMark06 which is within the +/-300 points to make both scores the "same"

    All of these test were done on AC and after a fresh reboot, if its not then the score drops another 200 for pcmark.
