ATI x700 3d simple and medium scores are very low

Hi;

I have ASUS W2 Notebook computer with the following configuration

Operation System Windows XP ( Win 32)
Total Physical Memory : 1023 MB RAM ( DDRII )
CPU: Intel Pentium M Processor 2128MHz
L2 Cache Size 2Mb
Disk: 100GB ( 5200RPM)
Video Adapter: ATI MOBILITY RADEON X700 with 128 MB DDR RAM
Screen Mode: 1680x1050x32
Video Driver ATI Catalyst 5.11

After I run the performance test with default settings
I got the following results;



Performance Test Version V6.0

PassMark Rating 322.6

As seen on the results ,I got very low score on Graphics 3D Simple and medium . Does any one can explane what is going wrong?

Just for Information;
I can play DOOM3 with high quality set ( 1024x768 screen resolution) and got 60FPS , so I think noting wrong with the graphic card or drivers but why simple and medium score are so low ?
Thanks for your replies

My guess would be that the Simple and Medium 3D tests are done in windowed mode (part of the 1680x1050 screen). But Doom and the Complex 3D test are in full screen mode at lower resolutions.

So you are probably not getting video card hardware acceleration when running at 1680x1050.

Thanks for your reply David ;
I think my problem was caused by Stardock Programes such as DesktopX and ObjectDock which are running on background during performance test . After I disable them the score for simple test was dramatically increased to about 1000fps and 170fps for the medium one .
Thanks again for your reply
