    Please post your specs and ONLY valid scores of the 3Dmark benchmark you like or all as. Please DO NOT post unvalid scores are totally incorrect and useless.

    By the way, invalid scores are not totally incorrect and useless. It just means Futuemark hasn't gotten off their lazy butts and confirmed the drivers. Beta drivers show up as "invalid". Even WHQL drivers show up as invalid sometimes.

    Many times unvalid drivers dont render the tests as they should. Like i used the 13.1 drivers on firestrike and got a very high score because the drivers did not render everything corretly according to a developer at 3DMark so that why 13.1 and many other drivers are not aprooved. Sure some drivers render all corretly and are not aprooved because they are too new. It takes them about a week of testing before they aproove new drivers. If its not aprooved by than it means it does not render the tests properly. You can look on 3dmark results yourself and search up different GPU's and you will see more crazy unvalid results like a 4870 beating a 680GTX on gpu score etc just because the drivers does not render the test corretly.

    by the way thats great results on the 650m :)

    I've had WHQL drivers on numerous occasions show invalid results, and beta drivers show valid results when it resulted in crazy high numbers too. Their approval process is spotty at best is all I was trying to say. Sometimes people need to run beta drivers to make everything else run better, or run at all, but not approved by 3DMark, so I doubt people will care to change drivers just for a benchmark vs actual playing games. So while I think it's fair to request VALID results, it's not fair to say ones listed as INVALID are totally incorrect and useless.

    I think unvalid drivers are useless because there are to much bull results when you look at unvalid result and to many ppl using drivers that get u crazy scores and than brag about it etc. Lazy to write more about it but seeing the forum is pretty much dead i dont rly care anymore anyways

    It ebbs and flows. Come August/September this place will be flooded. I think participation has dropped considerably over the last year or more though.
