60 fps for Marine Aquarium 3 is very good.

Be aware that some of those driver updates are versions built FOR Microsoft by the video chipset manufacturer. They're tailored to fit specific criteria, and 3D graphics isn't one of those criteria. I've seen Marine Aquarium 3 stop working because of those "suggested" display driver updates. Generally with video drivers, once you get it working, I don't mess with it.

Then you don't need to upgrade your computer. Quit worrying about that 4.9 score! To beat it, you will have to spend thousands.
