3DMark results seem low?

I haven't ran 3DMark 06 before but i decided to on my laptop (see specs below) and i got 2,413 which seemed low... because i could have swore that i saw this graphics card and cpu combo get around 4,000? What do you think? Also i ran PCMark 05 and got 4,893... does that seem right as well? I'm going to try to run them again but with the newer PCMark Vantage and 3DMark Vantage which i'm guessing i will get a lower score with those... because 3DMark Vantage tests Directx 10

 

What notebook do you have , what graphic card and processor?

 

Look at my sig

 

Yeah, sorry

The 3670 is capabile of over 4000 points in 3dmark06.

Do you have the latest drivers, You are not on powersaver.

Have you downloaded GPU-Z and checked your gpu and memory speeds as some manufactures under clock cards so they dont overheat.

The link below will give you some idea of what your card is capable of.

Did you make sure you werent on 'power saver' or 'balanced' power setting?

 

That's what i thought, well i tried all but the GPU-Z thing, and i'm going to look at the ATI Catalysk thing to make sure its not on "optimal performance"

 

It depends on the resolution. You can't use either of the two most popular resolutions (1280x800 and 1280x1024) so it's kinda hard to compare.

Maybe you should try laptopvideo2go drivers? These boosted +900 points when I changed my drivers.

 

So what are your gpu and memory clock speeds in GPU-Z?

 

HERE is a good review of your laptop with benchmarks. It scored 4279 in 3DMark 06 and 6449 in PCMark 05 with the slightly faster T9400.

 

the stuff from gpu-z says
GPU Clock: 680 MHz
Default Clock 400 Mhz
Memory: 800Mhz
Technology 55nm
Transistors: 378M
Shaders: 120 Unified
Pixel Fillrate 2.7 GPixels/s
Memory Type GDDR3
Memory Size 1.7gb
Bus Width: 128 Bit
Bandwidth 25.6Gb/s

 

so can anybody tell if his gpu is running at 680mhz or 400mhz from the data above.

 

i installed new drivers recently and i noticed that Call of Duty: WaW actually became laggy when on max and with 4x AA. So i'm re-installing the drivers from Dell.com (rather than the ATI website) and i didn't give me the "your drivers are either the same or newer than the one you are trying to install" message so i will post my new 3DMark score after this. Btw i ran it again after turning the Catalisk control to "best quality" and got only 2,000 3DMarks... that is just horrible!

 

I just re-did it and i 4,857!!! That is over 2,000 more than my previous one!!! I'm going to turn catilyst to highest now and see if it lowers or raises it, it is on the middle option right now.

 

see with new drivers

 

Wait you posted a new thread just now lol, like i said before yeah that is good definitely where you should be.

Now lets see how far you can overclock this baby.
