PCMark is a multipurpose benchmark suited for benchmarking all kinds of PCs, from laptops to workstations, as well as across multiple Windows operating systems. This easy-to-use benchmark makes professional strength benchmarking software available even to novice users. PCMark consists of a series of tests that represent common tasks in home and office programs. PCMark also covers many additional areas outside the scope of other Futuremark.com benchmarks.

On this particular test I performed both the default testing as well as a small series of tests that check out only the graphics board. This helps explain the disparity of scores since the overall score doesn't rely heavily on just the video card, but the entire system. The results from the graphics specific tests show a more dramatic increase in performance.
