    isn't that low? am i missing something? i tried fiddling with settings in NVIDIA Control Panel but the benchmarks would crap out at the beginning. i flipped Phsyx to CPU from GPU and it didn't make a difference (which apparently it shouldn't since 3DMark11 doesn't take that into account?)

    any ideas why my score is so low? i do run BFBC2 maxed out, so i think the GTX 560M is working properly.

    3DMark says that my driver is out of date and that I should install 8.17.12.7533. perhaps the results are just an issue with a relatively newer GPU?

    Nope, that's not low at all. That's right around average for that card. 3DMark 11 has much lower scores than the other versions of the program because they change the scoring metric on each release.

    Did you by chance see the "Your score is low compared to other machines" advertisement on the 3DMark results page? You can ignore that, it's tripped up others before (it's just an ad for optimization software).

    You can try changing the clocks if you really want to boost your score, but you're right where you should be for your hardware :)

    Swimmer posted a good link to give you an idea of average scores.

    oh, okay cool. so long as everything is on par, i don't really care about benchmarking scores. i just ran it out of curiosity, but it is running all of the games that i play as expected.
