    Right about where they should be. They are on the lower end of what people are getting, but I am assuming most people are bumping the clocks a bit. A small overclock and you will be in the 6k range that everyone seems to be reporting for it.

    I think you are perfectly fine where you are at with stock clocks.

    Download ThrottleStop 5.00 and have it running in the background to prevent temporary disable of Turbo Boost in combined test.

    Is is necessary to have throttlestop for gaming? Or is it just for benching?

    Yeap those seem about right and are good scores for both benches :)

    I don't know his exact specs, but would I be incorrect if I said he'd be at 6k+ if he had a 3820qm (and perhaps better RAM) or some very minor adjustments

    Yeah, those look right, although some people are getting ~6k but that's only about 40 pts which is probably an underclocked CPU thing that happens every so often.

    It depends on the default frequency. My default GPU Clock is 771 MHz with the memory at 900MHz. tested P Mark is P6252.
    The GTX680M has huge potential for OC, so there's no reason not to overlock. Just using vbios to increase the default clock to 902 with the memory at 1100MHz, tested P mark will be increased to P7236.
    Someone even got P8400, and very stable in games.

    its a strange one as no two scores are the same.
    my initial scores from new were slightly different. 11 score was higher for me with P6109 with no OC and my 06 score was lower at 1280x1024 22838 and 1920x1080 21866

    a lot of people leave the res at default so get a higher score.
