[Solved] Why 3DMark score is so low in comparison?

[coni2k]

Since my computer's performance is not doing well with 3D games, I did a benchmark test with 3DMark 11. Not surprisingly it has nearly half of the score compare to the similar machines;

Is it possible to consider this as normal? If not, what settings should I check? All power & 3D card related options are looking good. I'm trying to play Gauntlet and Fallout 3. In both games, with the settings that Nvidia GeForce Experience is recommending, CPU usage gets close 90% and FPS is 10 FPS, audio starts stuttering and it's not possible to play at all.

Any suggestions?

Which laptop is this?

Offhand I would guess that you are trying to play from battery; plug it in for full performance.

Yes, the performance is like that it's running from the battery but that's not the case. I'm checking the settings but everything is set to High Performance in Windows Power Management.

Notebook is Alternate with these specs;
Intel Core i7-4800MQ 2,7 GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M
16 GB RAM
250 GB Samsung SSD HDD
64-bit Windows 8.1

Could you use GPU-z and CPU-z to confirm your systems clocks please.
Your score is actually lower than the integrated HD4600 !

I wouldn't be surprised if it's lower, because I can play Gauntlet with a higher resolution and graphics with the integrated.

1. GPU-Z for NVIDIA;

2. GPU-Z for Integrated Graphics;

3. CPU-Z - if you miss anything, let me know, it only has the first tab's screenshot;

4. New bechmark with 3DMark (apparently this is newer than 3DMark 11 - it still has much lower score);

5. I've uninstalled both Integrated & NVIDIA drivers and installed the latest drivers again, didn't change anything. Next, I'm planning to format and install a fresh OS but of course I could prevent it, it would be nice.

For instance, could you recommend me another 3D game that I should be able to play without any problem with these specs, preferably a free one.

In the end the machine still has its warranty, so if I could be sure that the card has a problem, I could ask the vendor to replace it.

Thanks for help popatim

Eventually I sent the laptop to the service center and the problem revealed to be that it got too dusty.
This is bit strange since it was pretty new but anyway, simply cleaning the machine solved my issue.

Here is 3DMark result afterwards;
