Edit: Ran again but at full screen, 10825, Extremely High. Too bad my dual monitor setup isn't good for playing fullscreen.

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong. Can't seem to change anything on settings. But it's a desktop pc but my score keeps coming back as a laptop score? After looking at some of your scores I notice it doesn't say laptop so I must be doing something wrong?

You might have the graphic configuration set as Laptop, it's a drop down menu so just select what you currently play at or Maximum if you're crazy like us

Honestly don't worry too much about GFX, I have a 660 GTX with like 100+ tabs open in the background and I still managed an 8400+ on max 1920x1080 with Directx 11.

Well my score shot up by 2000 when using the DX9 renderer. DX11 score is 11565. It's not out of line for the DX9 renderer to have better performance than the DX11 renderer. It's an older API, and drivers for it are mature. The DX11 features in the benchmark are really just "more bells & whistles", as you said. You don't have to download anything extra.

Thanks Brianmj.

OK, so I guess generally DX9 is expected to have better performance than DX11. Good to know.

[Nekodar]

Just want to note after playing around with it...
People that are CPU limited but have a decent GPU, will see higher DX11 scores than DX9 scores.
But if you're not CPU limited in DX9, the scores will likely be DX9 > DX11.

Can you tell me how the DX9 and DX11 is slightly worst on mine? I mean just barely but still.
Sorry I don't know much on PC.

7535 - DX9
7559 - DX11
Posting again.

Too lazy to post a pic of DX9 but I copied numbers.
I only switched to DX9 and made sure it was on max, nothing changed.
There were no changes almost at all! xD

@Nekodar's below comment:
Thanks! I'm updating now as we speak, I forgot about it.
I'll see if there's a change but you may be right...I guess I'll be doing DX11...I barely saw a difference in all honesty. oo;

I would guess that the CPU and GPU are well matched. There are newer drivers for the graphics card, but I can't say if it will improve much for you.
If you have a HDD that you run from, that could bring down the score due to loading times.

Also consider that the visual quality with DX11 is higher than with DX9.
