    I only get 5750 in 3dmark11. That is approx. 100 less than my 7970m scored. My CPU is a 3610qm if that matters, p170em. Should I try reinstalling Windows?

    Also in Windows rating thingy (still don't know what it's called in english) my 680m gets 7.1 while my 7970m got 7.3.

    First of all, don't pay any attention to the windows rating thingy. It is not a performance tester. Secondly, if you don't actually care about your 3dmark rating, and you get the kind of fps in games that you should be getting, don't sweat about it.

    totally ignore the windows rating as its rubbish.
    this is what i get:
    Windows performance ratings
    Processor: calculations per second 7.6 Memory ram: 7.8 Graphics desktop performance for aero: 7.1 Gaming graphics: 7.1 Primary hard disk: 7.9
    Overall 7.1

    that score is fine for 3dmark11 as far as i know.
    ive got the 3720QM and get P6109

    run 3dmark06 and vantage as well to get the 3 scores.

    ive started a survey for scores in my sig below so in a few weeks there should be some others with 3610qm to compare to.


    check out this thread as its about the 3610 http://forum.notebookreview.com/gaming-software-graphics-cards/685891-680m-low-3dmark-11-score.html
