    go to ccc and make sure powerplay is on, check if high performance mode is on and you're running on AC power.

    Well, when I had the 6970m I benchmarked using default profile and got 17 800 to 18 200.

    Try running it on default mode (no texture and no 1080p) and see what score you get.

    Also if 3dmark settings on high does it affect your result or not?

    Got almost the same results:

    10502 vs 10261
    5119 vs 5368
    4442 vs 3022
    2490 vs 3656

    And it even got lower!

    Maybe it has something to do with the drivers? Need help cause im not really sure if my driver/bios is updates. Also the CCC version, does it really matter much?
