Acer 6920G: Very poor Geforce 9500GS performance

Thread Starter 
I have a 6920G with 4Gb of RAM, a C2D T9300 and the Geforce 9500GS running Vista 64-bit.

For some reason I'm only getting 3DMark03 scores around 5200-5300 but I've seen benchmarks of identical systems much much higher.

Why is this?

My brother-in-law has a 6920 with a gig less RAM, a lesser C2D T5700 but a Radeon HD3650 and his 3DMark03 score is 10500.

Should my 9500GS really suck so much a**?

Can't judge a notebook solely on 3DMark score alone.

What is it exactly that this comp does not perform well, according to you?

cheers ...

Hate to say but that does suck. How about you run 3DMark06 and give me the composite and the three scores that make up the composite. Then we can talk.

qhn you are correct but this is an exception.

probably nvidia powermizer kicking in.

google for the registry edit to disable it and then rerun 3dmark. also, this will cause more heat so make sure the heatsink is clean.

My 3DMark06 score is 3010

SM2.0= 1140
SM3.0= 1090
CPU= 2198

I ran this with CPUID Hardware Monitor in the background this time. The GPU never got over 68C and the two CPU cores maxxed at 51C.

[EDITED]

Just overclocked it to 600/425/1200 from 475/400/975 and got a score of 3785

Right, I don't understand this.

I overclocked to 600/425/1200 then ran 3DMark03 and got... 11889!

I'm assuming the moderate overclock can't account for a 5250 to 11889 jump, so Powermizer must be gimping my scores at stock speeds but disabling itself when overclocked.

GPU is still only getting to 74C... is it worth pushing for more?
