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?

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:

Pass Mark Rating:
Old: 1198 New: 2328

CPU Rating:
Old: 3501 New: 7651

2D Graphics:
Old: 178.2 New: 644

3D Graphics:
Old: 1354 New: 1448

Memory:
Old: 913 New: 1995

Disk:
Old: 776 New: 777

Improvement on every level, especially the processing. Thank you for the guidance!

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!
