    Just RIGHT- click on the benchmark's icon on your desktop and select nVidia high-performance processor

    I don't have this option when I right click the icon, I downloaded 3DMark Vantage just like you have. I also opened Nvidia control panel and made sure the "run with graphics processor" option had a check mark next to it.

    Why would this be happening?

    Finally got it to work correctly, thank you.

    Here is the link to my results: 3DMark Vantage: 4734.09 3DMarks

    Result

    What do you guys think? I compared to other systems with similiar specs and it seems pretty good...

    What are your thoughts?
