    What is the game? How about other games?

    Did you try other benchmark tools?

    -0 CF scaling across two different apps back to back would suggest CF is not actually enabled despite it showing it is in CCC.

    Would suspect because while initally running off the battery in stealth mode, then plugging in to AC CCC failed to update the power profile correctly.

    Reboot with the AC plugged, manually enable CF via CCC if it isan't already.
    Should be good to go.
    Test across a couple apps again to be sure of course.

    Disable xfire in CCC and reboot. Then re-enable xfire in CCC and reboot again, that should smack the side of the proverbial juke box.
