    Hi,
    I got my new VAIO S 15, graphic score when I got it was 5.9, I replaced HDD with my corsair SSD and installed a clean Windows 7 and installed all VAIO drivers including Intel Graphic, Nvidia drivers and Hotkey utilities, now my graphic score is only 4.9

    I'm using Speed mode.

    Why is that?
    Thanks

    It's normal for graphics to be a lot lower than gaming graphics even on speed mode - mine is 4.7 and 6.7

    But I notice the graphic is lagging at the screen after the welcome screen, there is fading but it is happening slow, same for shutdown, everything else is fine so far.
    It should not happen in Nvidia 2GB.
    What's the problem you think?

    I re-run the assessment many times, it's still 4.9
    Do you use clean Windows 7?
