Those lowest scores are done with standard clocks, 3dmark sometimes reads speeds wrong and puts in the clock speeds of the card in idle. It has done that with my scores as well, even with my cards heavily overclocked.
Logic reasoning would have already told you that there's no way in hell a standard HD 4850 with a standard Athlon II X2 620 would outperform a standard HD 4850 with a standard QX9650. Certainly not by over 3000 points.
As for comparing the e6760 to the 6570, that's a flawed comparison for many reasons. And for the Vantage score we don't have to look at a 6570, the score is listed on the AMD site. It's 5870 so with 3DMark Vantage it's more powerful than a 6570. End of story. |
Look further and deeper and you might be surprised - I have not looked at just 4850/620 and 6570/620 combos , but with other CPUs as well, and that's exactly why I suggested for people to look not at P scores, but GPU scores.
As for e6760m not being downclocked 6570 - check your facts and compare e6760 it against it (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units#Northern_Islands_.28HD_6xxx.29_series) and 6550M (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units#Radeon_HD_6xxxM_Series) before you start throwing at random your "end of stories" - 4850 is at every spec more powerful than e6760 by factor of 1.6x and more.
