    It seems pretty low to me, let me guess - you are running windows vista right?

    I have tried both drivers from dell, and from ati's site, they both land on 6200-ish, really annoying

    that's a bit low, but it's almost normal. normal would be around 6500 i guess. use catalyst 9.11, make sure u don't run any other programs in the background while doing it..

    That's lower than what the SXPS in my signature got when it first arrived.

    You're also running on a lower resolution as you're restricted by the 1340's resolution. Unless you're running 3DMark at the default resolution that the program wants to run at your score means nothing :p
