Well, the thing that I'm noticing is that I think those with a higher score seem to be either running a different version of 3dmark, or maybe just the registered version because the result sheets are totally different on what seems to be listed.

It does make me wonder if I were running the full registered and payed for edition and running the same tests listed as the high rollers if I could score a little bit higher, but certainly couldn't make up for a 8,000+ difference in score.

It just doesn't make sense. Maybe I should oc my video card by 200mhz and see if that makes a difference as I see Ron's video card's speed is listed about 200mhz higher than mine is.

I don't know 3dmark site says :
Overall Score P2160 Target Score: P2100
Graphics ScoreP1936 Target Score: P1900
Physics ScoreP6776 Target Score: P6000
Combined ScoreP1877 Target Score: P1900

So, going by that, it would suggest that I'm on target with my hardware, but then that leaves me wondering why other peoples target score for their hardware is up there around 9000 or so, I'm guessing it has to do with the settings chosen for the benchmark tests, I can't think of anything else at this point.

Really frustrates me though, because I already don't think that this laptop has really earned the badge of a gaming laptop like ASUS promotes it.

on d 3d mark vantage seems ma CPU can't achieve the target value which is 17k plus while ma scored only 11k plus ==" i dunno wat's d reason 4 dis ==" hopefully someone could tell me sumthing~ *wonder*
but in game like dirt 3 with graphic settings on high and ultra if applicable, avrage fps i got in full hd 1920x1080 about 32-33fps
and since am using ThrottleStop, there's no throttle issue wif ma CPU so what can i say, ma beast still d best ^^

I am really having fun with this as it started out as a competition of sorts between a me and a friend he was always knocking my g74sx best buy version as not a real g74, he has the 1920x 1080 screen and 192 bit gtx560m but we sat down to play some different games together and my machine was much smoother playing games than his, but I have done a clean install all updated manufacturer drivers, I run throttle stop, quiet hd and advanced system care 5 active boost in the background allways..he refuses to change anything on his machine..anyway I just ran 3d mark 11 (p2662) to get a score from it as I already did with 3d mark vantage and on both test I overclocked the video card now I am going to go back and do it without overclock and see what I get. http://3dmark.com/3dm11/2642640

What program are you using to overclock your GPU Ron?

[tkd_ron]

I am using nvidia inspector, I found it works better and has better stability than msi afterburner or gpu tweak from asus. Most games I don't need to overclock, actually crysis 2 is the only one I do and I have played it for hours clocked at 925/1850/1600 with no problems and my temps never get above about 67-68c. I just ran 3dmark 11 without overclock and got the same score. http://3dmark.com/3dm11/2643018

[dxboyz6146]

do increase memory clock a bit higher n decrease d core clock for stability, by this u'll see fps increase bcause memory clock add up fps ^^ try it

Okay, overclocking it seems to make a big jump in the score: P10839 3DMarks which seems to translate to around 6 to 8 fps, which would certainly help in those games where I'm only getting 22 fps I hope.

this ma latest scored on 3d mark 11, http://3dmark.com/3dm11/2645996 and like always ma CPU didn't achieve the target value, can i conclude that there's something wrong wif ma CPU and should i go to d service centre? or is it normal for G53SX =="
