    UPDATE - Problem solved. i updated my bios and went in there and changed graphics from dynamic to fixed .

    Now both my graphics score is 6.9.



    i have a i72630 qm .

    2gb HD 6770m .

    4 gb RAM

    DV6 6121tx
    .

    Here is my score.

    Processor - 7.4
    RAM - 7.4
    graphics - 5.9 (Intel HD 3000)
    Gaming graphics - 6.6
    Primary Hardisk - 5.9


    Im a little worried that my gaming graphics score is low because ive seen people here saying thst their default without overclocking is 6.9

    and even in Notebookcheck.com the average score listed for my card is 6.7 with 6.6 being listed as the lowest

    That does seem a little low for some reason. My 6770 1gb was indeed at 6.9 stock and 7.1 oc'd.

    in 3d mark vantage, my graphics score was slightly higher than average though.

    and did you change any settings in catalyst control centre?
    I remember in my old sony vaio eb 16 fg i used to get higher ratings when i changed some settings, not sure which ones though

    Besides turning power play off, everythings stock in CCC. If your 3dmark scores are good I wouldn't worry any then.

    Are you on Dynamic or Fixed graphics? Because it is possible the 6770 won't activate during the windows scoring with dynamic so it will be testing the intel chip and not the radeon.

    ok, now i have no idea what just happened, i just disabled powerplay in the catalyst control centre and re assesed my computer in WEI.

    Processor has decreased from 7.4 to 7.3
    Ram has decreased from 7.4 to 7.3
    Graphics have decreased from 5.9 to 3.6
    Gaming graphics have decreased from 6.6 to 5.5
    Hard disk is the same at 5.9.
