  • Help! Dell M660 work station has very low benchmark scores across almost all fields

    Hello,

    I've got a Dell M6600 with the following general specs specs:

    Intel Core i7-2760QM @ 2.4GHz
    Nvidea Quadro3000M
    2 x 4GB DDR3 SDRAM PC3-10600
    HDD

    I can give more specific specs if required.

    My Bench Mark scores are listed and highlighted below in red and compared to some similar machines, everything seems pretty low. except 3d graphics, they seem comparable. Looking for some possible reasons why. Thanks!

      Your CPU result is low, which will impact on a lot of the results (RAM and 2D included).

      Did you run the test while connected to mains power?
      Check the Windows power settings, are you in power save mode?

      See also this post, which covers all the common performance issues.

        Thanks for the response! My PC was connected to mains power, but was also in a "battery saving" mode. After changing the power setting to "Ultra performance" I re-ran the benchmark.

        My Scores are now:

          You disk result is still poor, but that is because the performance is poor.
          Some of the machines you are comparing it against have a solid state drive.

            Yes, I understand the HDD is sort of a bottle neck in my system. I'm looking into an upgrade for that. Thanks for the help!
