    Those scores are way off. First, check your PowerMizer settings and make sure the slider for AC power is all the way to the right (maximum performance).

    You're not running these tests unplugged are you?

    Also is it your 3dmark scores that are lower or is it everything games etc.

    Because if 3dmark scores are low try a fresh install of 3dmark

    If games and 3dmark are getting low maybe try cleaning out your pc, reinstalling drivers etc.

    Yeah, that is a really tough test, it is normal for the FPS to be under 1.

    Yes as posted. In the CPU tests, everything is done by the CPU and that is very hard.

    Much better scores. :)

    Ghostrida, could that have been the reason behind your computer's less than great performance in Vanguard??

    Try it out and get back to me man!
