I want to get a higher 3dmark 11 performance score, any advice would be appreciated!

[LouisIsMyDOG]

Do you guys have any advice for me to increase my 3dmark 11 performance score. The score I am getting is just shy of 4000 which is under the gaming laptop score which is at ~4600. I want to be able to run games with higher fps. I am looking for key changes that would dramatically improve my score (lets say bring it up to 4600) . Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My Computer Specs:

1 x AMD A10 6790K 4.0GHz Socket FM2 100W Desktop Processor AD679KWOHLBOX (running @ 4.0ghz)

1 x ASRock FM2A88X-ITX+ FM2+ / FM2 AMD A88X (Bolton D4) SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI Mini ITX AMD Motherboard

Faster GPU. You may be able to overclock your 650, but that probably won't give you a huge boost.

Also, dump that PSU. It's a fire hazard.

I'm sorry I think I have the 650ti version from msi. I have to check. So with that updated what do you think someone somewhere?

 

[Someone Somewhere]

Same advice applies.

And definitely dump the PSU; a review I found says it can't do above 125W without going out of spec, and crashes completely at 330W.

So someone somewhere, what would be a worthy gpu upgrade and what psu would you recommend? Without bottle necking.

 

[Someone Somewhere]

GPU depends on your budget.

Any 500W+ PSU from the link in my sig would do fine.

 

[LouisIsMyDOG]

How high of a gpu can I go without bottlenecking?

 

[Someone Somewhere]

Depends on monitor resolution, but you should be fine up to about a 7870, at least. Could probably go for a 280X with no trouble.
