    My screen native resolution is at 1440 x 900 and when i ran my 3dmark06, i set it to run at 1280 x 800 but 2520 is too low for m1530. My xps is running on T7250 and I don't think that's the deciding factor. Or having higher native resolution will somehow lower the score even if you run it at resolution lower than that. I didn't downclock my GC

    That's quite low - perhaps it's very underclock - should be around 3K level

    Are you running on full power mode or are you on power saving mode? ( it can happen, that though you are plugged in, your system runs on min power, you should check this and try again)

    Btw, I have a T7500 and I OC to 600/1200/900 and I get 5673 3DMarks, so you should get around 5000, provided you do some OC'ing

    I HAD this same problem and I ran through this check.

    Intelligence - Somewhat, Check
    Power Connected - Check
    Fresh Reinstall - Check
    Drivers Updated and Set - Check
    Patience - Check
    Is my POWER SETTINGS = HIGH PERFORMANCE - ?? :D


    Check your power settings, the laptop will automatically underclock your GPU if it is set at anything other than high performance
