    that's a normal score for the 3720QM, 3dmark might have taken a read of the idle clocks before the cpu loaded up.

    Sometimes the program reads the speed before it has started to speed up (or after it has started to slow down). I'm not sure which, but either way, it shouldn't be a problem.

    Thanks for the info. I just got my p150EM so I wanted to make sure it was running. They actually messed up my order and gave me the 3720 and not the 3610 I ordered :)

    If you look at the graph, you'll see that your performance is average for your specs, so you are all good. If you are really worried about, you should check out ThrottleStop.

    I'm having a problem with 3DMark. Whenever I try and run it, it gives me this error message:

    "Workload Single init returned error message: DXGI call IDXGISwapChain::SetFullscreenState failed:

    The requested functionality is not supported by the device or the driver.

    DXGI_ERROR_NOT_CURRENTLY_AVAILABLE"

    I don't understand... is my 7970 not properly installed? And if not what should I do? If I uninstall it how do I reinstall it (does it need a CD, because there was none in the box it came with).

    Mine did that at first.

    You need to make sure all of the 3DMark sub-processes and service are marked as High Peformance in CCC.
