    I have just received my NP8130 and as i was running 3D Mark Vantage, the fps was only around 5. In addition, my FPS in Counter-Strike: Source was about 70. Is there a reason why the frame rate is so low?

    DOH! ahh the joys of learning.
    dont worry weve all done it :D
    also dont forget to set comp to high performance and if your using nvidia graphics turn physx off when running vantage as it gives a false high cpu reading.

    also welcome to nbr.

    This is up to the individual person. Some people do benchmarks with GPU physics on and off for two different scores. Some people feel like it is cheating but the reality is that if you have the hardware, why not use it to its full potential? Just make sure you mention if your score is using GPU assisted physics or not.

    OP: In 3DMark Vantage, you should be getting around 10,000+ 3DMarks with PhyX on and the GPU overclocked.
