    I've tried the 10.4 drivers and the 10.5 drivers. It is not on stealth mode. This is installed in a system that originally came with the 4870 crossfire.

    The GPU score is 2614 when it should be around 7800.

    Does anyone know what the the issue could be?

    Thank you

    Is this a cf 5870 or single? try un-installing everything ati then run driver sweeper then re install all ati software. Sounds like faulty driver install.

    I did that numerous times. Funny thing, I did a restore system to an earlier point in time, and that worked. Funny as the only difference was I installed steam. Glad it's working now. Thanks
