Windows shows low graphics perfofmance score

[calvin91-vista-business]

Don't worry about your score, it itsn't bad. I have the Radeon Mobility 3650.
My graphics score is 5.5 and gaming score is 5.1
Your scored are more than good enough, even for gaming. You say that you
think it's low as your RAM gets a score of 5.9 and HD around the same. Those
scored shouldn't be compared to your graphics as they are completely
different. It simply means that you have a high performance HD and RAM. score
4-5 is a good score for a GPU

Also, Vista would do any office need sufficiently with a base score of 3 , a
base score of 4 would be suitable for most gaming needs, your score is close
to 5 which means you shouldnt have any problems running demanding 3d
applications.
Hope this cleared it up :)

Hi Dima,
I've also got the 2600 PRO. After installation i scored a 4,9.... but after
using ATI's Auto Tune in the Overdrive section I climbed to 5,3.
Knowing that 5,9 is the highest you can score I would't worry at all if I
was you.

Sincerely

Thanks Rob for your reply!
After using ATI's Auto Tune in the Overdrive section my 2600 PRO score did
not climb, but tearings appeared.
