I just had to ask!

Hello TH community, hope we are all doing fine.

So my question is concerning my adventures in playing around in 3dMark 11 and the results thereof obtained.

SPECS:

MSI-Z68-GD65(G3)
Core i5 2500K (stock, no TB)
G.Skill Snipers 8GB(2x4GB) DDR3 1600 9-9-9-24-2T(XMP)
MSI GTX560TI TwinFrozr

GPU score: P4300~ target P4500~
Physics score : P6200 target P 6400~

The total scores are marginally below the targets, anyone have similar issues? What have I done wrong.

In essence it matters not as Metro 2033, Skyrim and other games I play max out at my max resolution at healthy FPS, that to me is enough benchmark, that said it would be nice to hit the par scores running stock.

try another nvidia drivers, they may change your score.

it is not so bad.

This weekend I have the tedious endeavor of having to back up everything and re-install the OS, I had forgotten to set the HD interface to ACHI/RAID, though I don't believe that is the issue. I do believe that it is the drivers, I used the later Nvidia (beta) drivers that have the odd "crash error" I will install the latest drivers.

Normally I don't take heed to benchmarks, but I tried out a few and 3Dmark is suggesting score is low.
