Razor Blade - GTX 970M returns Cinebench score of .98fps OpenGL

I have a Razer Blade 2016 with a GTX 970M.
Cinebench R15 returns a score of .98fps OpenGL which I know can't be correct.
I've returned the laptop twice to Razer via an RMA and they say the issue is with Cinebench.
Any ideas?

 

Are you really running Windows 8 on your machine?
Have you tried other benchmarks, like firestrike?

 

Windows 10, I'm not sure why the Cinebench info comes up as Win8.
My Firestrike scores fluctuate between 5300 and 6000. But I do get a Validation Warning that my Graphics Driver isn't approved.
Razor told me that was no big deal.

 

Not sure what is going on, but you should be able to get higher graphics scores in Firestrike, 7000+.

 

This is very highly likely a software / driver issue; and not a hardware defect issue. You are most likely running Cinebench using the Intel Integrated GPU, and not your nVidia GeForce GTX 970m.

Update your graphics driver. And then manually find the Cinebench EXE file. Right-click on it, and choose Run With Graphics Processor --> High PErformance NVIDIA Processor. That will force your GTX 970m to be used during the benchmark.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Cinebench reports a GTX 970m in there. My guess is that there is a difference between what graphics hardware Cinebench detects and reports back from the system; and is probably different than the GPU that is actually being used when running the benchmark.

 

That FS score seems awfully low. 970Ms should be getting 7500 Graphics score and up. For some reason you're getting 30% less than it should be.

 

Looks like you're running stock windows drivers - slow, problems with switching to GPU and no OpenGL at all.
Just install drivers from razer support site or directly from nvidia drivers download page.

 

This is what I was getting on my 2015 with everything stock:


And this is what i was getting with GPU overclock:




You values are indeed strange, but it also looks like it's software related, probably a ton on **** running in background, no "Performace" profiles set somewhere and such; undervolting might help too, avoiding throttling!

 

Looks like you have Core i7 4720 + gtx970m? Can you please look my thread http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/razer-blade-14-early2015-owners-help-needed.804566/

 

I wish I could help, but I just don't have the notebook anymore, I think I had a BIOS backup stored somewhere in a cloud, but I'll need to look for it, planned to o so later today already!
