    I was just wondering, what are some common Furmark scores for the 5650? Trying to see if my card has anything wrong with it.

    My Score:

    I would update your drivers, 10.5 onward gave good performance increases on HD5xxx chips. Current is 10.8.

    I got 2036 with a 5730, which is just a higher-clocked 5650 (650 vs 550 MHz). Your score might be a bit low. I agree with updating your drivers and trying again.

    That looks a bit better :) 16.5% increase from a mere driver update, lol.
