Someone's fibbing.

7.9 is not possible with a 920. Try 7.6-7.7 for that, even at 4 GHz. I should know, I own one. And what's up with the rounded numbers like 4000 for speed?

Worse is your memory. Can't get 7.9 with DDR3 triple channel for first-gen Core i7s. Again, try 7.6-7.8. Also the memory amount is rounded.

And your rounded drive space. Running HDDs or SSDs? And what type.

In short, mostly fabricated or edited. Very sad to see that. Why do you bother?

I was out of town, and only had my laptop, the 7.9 is the gaming graphics; whats actually important here. as for the numbers i did it on the fly when i had some spare time, who the hell cares is they are slightly rounded, its convenient. the cpu is running at 3.988.9GHz 21x190. also under XMP the ram hits 7.9, its currently at 7.8 and the CPU at 7.7

don't be so persnickety, geez

Any Idea why my GFX card is the weak link

[Chiyeko Kuramochi]

All I say is that my current laptop is rated at 4.4 which is still way to high for what it does.....

Try updating the graphics driver? There was a new driver released a couple days ago. Perhaps your old driver is having some sort of compatibility issue with that benchmark.

Thanx for the advice but I had updated the Nvidia drivers to 301.42 (may 22) prior to running the benchmark so I'm a little confused

ok, that makes no sence, your rating for the card should be a lot higher, i'm getting a rating of 5.9 for my HD5750 (on vista), and the GTX580 blows my card out of the water.

[Oderint dum Metuant]

A 580 should be scoring a 7.9 (as mine does)

[Stahlseele]

Gaming Graphics is at 6,4 . . which is still kinda low for an 580 o.O
I don't have Win7 on my big rig, so i can't tell you what mine would get . .

[Arnie1808]

All sorted it was the new drivers that balls'd my score up they also made my frames drop like a whores draws in any game so I have gone back to the 296.10 Drivers instead of the new 301.42 (may 22)and its all fixed (ill have to skip to the next batch and miss these).

Edited by Arnie1808, 27 May 2012 - 03:54 AM.

[Stahlseele]

Ah good to know.

[Oderint dum Metuant]

Interesting because i just updated to those drivers this morning...will try mine

Edit: No change using those drivers still got a 7.9....most odd
Edit2 : Did you Clean install the drivers?
