    I just got a Lenovo Y570 and I'm trying to get it running the best it can without overclocking. It's at a 9400 score, but when comparing it to someone else with the same laptop, but a i5-2410M, the graphics details strange.

    Both have Geforce GT 555M's running 285.62 drivers.

    Comparing the 3dmark06 details, yours says under graphics card

    the i5-2410M i570:

    Memory
    1024 MB
    Core clock
    752 MHz
    Memory clock
    1570 MHz
    Driver name
    Driver version
    8.17.12.8562
    Driver status
    Not FM Approved

    But mine says on i7-2670QM

    Memory
    32 MB
    Core clock
    0 MHz
    Memory clock
    0 MHz
    Driver name
    Driver version
    8.17.12.8562
    Driver status
    Not FM Approved

    Why a difference?

    what score is the other one getting. 9400 score is quite good for a 555.

    The other one is getting 10k. That's why I'm trying to find out where the difference is. Aside from the CPU, everything else is the same...555M, 8GB DDR3.

    NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M - Notebookcheck.net Tech

    read this article, even though notebookcheck is not accurate all the time (they are crap about gtx 580m) there is some information. apparently there are a lot of different versions of gt 555m..
