    Hi everyone,

    recently i bought a laptop hp nx9420 with the graphic card x1600. I've just run the 3dmark 05 and with default settings i get score about 1300 :( am i missing something ? As i read i should get rather higher scores than i have now ... can someone tell me what could be the point ?

    thx in advance

    Alot of times the initial drivers on the laptop are way out of date, so I would try finding the latest ATi Mobility driver and see if that helps.

    Make sure that you have your laptop in "high-performance"-mode, so its not in a battery saving mode.

    That is way low, you should be getting near 4000. Update the drivers.

    the x1600 should score between 3700-4100.

    That's really odd. My X1600 (Acer 8204WLMi) hits 4.4k. I use Omega Radeon drivers v 3.8.252.
