I just managed to update the AMD driver without messing up the switchable graphics. I posted on here ages ago about getting a 3Dmark 11 score of 115 – did a factory restore and got it up to 435 ish.
Anyway I noticed just now on 3Dmark 11 that the CPU is running slower that it did back after the factory restore.
It was - 2793 MHz (Older version of 3DM only gives one result - newer ones give 2)
Now its - 2,534 MHz (Stock) and 2,527 Mhz (Turbo) >.<
Something is throttling the Turbo. It obviously should have a higher number for turbo than stock in the 3Dmark results. I downloaded that Intel(R) Turbo Boost Technology Monitor 2.6 and the blue line never goes past half way – and on CPUID CPU-Z I can see that it never goes above 2427.52 even when running a game.
It got a score of 444 after the new drivers – but the physics results were lower because it’s not using turbo properly so it should get a better score if it runs at proper speed again.
Any idea what is going on?.. – I don’t think it’s too hot..
