    Are you asking for comments?
    If not Thanks You for reading my post and I appreciate you posting your score for me to read---Read no further

    But If you were looking for comments:
    That looks a little low
    (for your awesome system specs...I wish I had the $$ for an XPS :eek: :eek: :( )
    Try getting the Beta drivers for the Geforce Go Card Here: http://www.nzone.com/object/nzone_downloads_rel70betadriver.html
    Download those Drivers and run 3DMark05 again and post what you get from that!
    Curious to see what you get,
    -TBird

    I think the link on the pic is broken... when I click on it it sends me to the photobucket sign-in screen... :? Weird
    But I can read from the pic that it says 5197 3DMarks
    I don't know if the tweaksrus drivers are the Beta ones but...
    When I put the Beta Drivers on my GPU (7800GTX Desktop) I get ~30 more 3DMarks so try those out and post what you get!

    Just looked around the tweaksrus site and found it a little hard to navigate... but when I finally found the nVidia Forceware driver section there was a whole bunch of drivers with no names or labels just the weird numbering scheme that nVidia has come up with :confused: :confused:
    IN CONCLUSION: You may have even gotten the wrong drivers for your GPU :eek: ...I would recommend downloading the ones that I suggested in my post above (They are from the nVidia site--You can't go wrong with that) and you will probably get a much better score!
    So d/l the suggested drivers and run 3DMark05 again and post the results!
    Waiting for the update,
    -TBird
    P.S.: Are you using the INFS drivers... I wouldn't use them---I would only use the official nVidia drivers

    I don't know what this whole INF thing is can you explain it to me please (I understand most everything about PCs so you don't have to give a FULL description just how you do it!)
    And on your ?: Get the 81.87! These are the GO drivers (for laptops)
    Thanks for any INF explanation!,

    Your Mobile Graphics card IS made by nVidia and they DO support it
    That 6713 sounds a bit more like what it should be
    Now trying playing a graphics intensive game on your laptop and run FRAPS (fps display program) and tell me if you get better FPS in the game (Good games for this would be: F.E.A.R or COD2, BF2, etc...)
    reply after you do that!,
    -TBird
    P.S.: you can get FRAPS from here: http://www.fraps.com/download.php

    That is REALLY good for a laptop (My desktop with OC'd 7800GTX, AMD X2, and 1GB RAM barely did better than you laptop! That is real good!)

    And I assume when you say stock settings you are thinking of OCing
    the 7800GTX OCs fairly well If you are guy read this: (I have heard that playing with a OC'd 7800GTX in your lap for too long can cause probs with having children:p :p)
    But try OCing the 7800GTX you will probably get even better results but make sure to play on a desk when you are using the 7800GTX or else IT BURNS!!
    Happy to help,

    Of Course you don't need to OC the 7800GTX is a powerhouse and OCing it would only be a risk
    To look at the screenshots
    go into the FRAPS window and click on the Screenshots tab and click the button that says "view" and it should take you to where the screenshots are saved
