    I just bought an MSi GT683R a few days ago and I was wondering if I had everything right(checking if laptop's fine) because I only have 7 days to be able to return it and have a new laptop IF this laptop is defective. So, I ran Furmark around 2 mins. to test how high it'll go, and it went around 70-ish. is that bad or it's alright? Now, I tried getting the score and I got 3108 at 1680x1050. I just want to know if this score is alright? If not, how could I run it better? I don't know if the drivers are updated though.

    Any advice would be a great help. Thank you.
    btw, what's the best driver right now? Cause I'm currently downloading 285.62.

    Not very many people use Furmark as a benchmarking tool here. 3dmark is far more prevalent here. I would suggest downloading the free version and comparing your scores to the ones over at notebookcheck.net.

    Furmark is OpenGL only. A DirectX bench is a bit more meaningful because that's what 95% of games use (just a guesstimate).
