    10200 doesnt help much.

    what scores are you getting for ice storm, cloud gate, fire strike.

    Is that 3D mark11? Is that your overall score or your GPU score?

    Out of pure laziness, not wanting to search. What are your 3dmark 11 scores? If you don't mind me asking.

    Your score (assuming its 3d mark 11) seems fine for stock scores. Even on a benchmark such as 3d mark, the cards will not scale completley. You should expect stock 7970 crossfires to score around 10,500.

    Around 11,200 stock (GPU score around 12,000)
    Around 12100 overclocked abit (GPU score around 13,000)

    Try and pay attention to your GPU score. My scores are brute forced up abit in the physics test from my CPU.
