    Hi everyone,
    yesterday I received my MSI GX600 model 047PL (Core 2 Duo T7500 2,2GHz; 2GB RAM; GF 8600M GT 512MB; MS Vista Home Premium Polish version).
    To test it I immediately installed 3Dmark 06 and my GX600 scored only 1431 points at 1280x1024 (default settings)! :(
    Today I installed 169.09 drivers + Rivatuner 2.06 (OC: core 475@620, mem 400@490) and with TURBO mode on it scored only 1594 points. :mad:

    Why my notebook can't score 3500-4000 points like everyone else? Maybe that’s Vista's fault? :)
    Does somebody know what's wrong with my laptop? I'm appreciated if someone can give me some clues. Thanks so much!

    Masch, Poland

    hmmm... your problem is very weird. where did you purchase the notebook from (maybe the reseller used crappy parts?) and what framerates do you get in mainstream games (maybe if you're getting reasonable framerates in other games, then it's just some 3dmark problem?)
