    7970m 3Dmark11 scores are MISERABLE :( helppp

    sooo i got my vortex 3 a little while ago and have been running 3dmark11 periodically. I have run it about 4 times results being ~5100, ~5100, ~5500, ~5500 which are all lower than what most people with the same specs are getting. I just ran it two more times and got http://3dmark.com/3dm11/3729670 less than 5100! I'm kinda new to this whole thing so any help would be greatly appreciated. I noticed my processor clock in the results is less than 2.0 - is that an issue considering i have the i7- 3610qm (2.3-3.3ghz). I know there is some leaked / beta drivers out there but I dont really want to switch to anything unstable.. any ideas?

    My score is higher and I have same cpu and gpu as you, so something must be wrong. This is the score I get everything stock using the drivers supplied by pcs http://3dmark.com/3dm11/3729345

    hey cossacknoodle can I ask what your settings are under the gaming section of catalyst control (anti aliasing etc). I think that may have something to do with my poor results. I had changed some of them to my own preferences and I noticed a significantly better score when I just set them all to let applications decide. http://3dmark.com/3dm11/3731846 though the core clock seems to be wrong in that result (450mhz instead of the standard 850mhz)

    FWIW, I've been on the beta drivers since they came out at the end of may and I've not had a single problem.
    Vortex II 15.6" Glossy / Core i7-2760QM / 16Gb Samsung 1333mhz / ATI Radeon 6990M 2Gb @ 830/1050 / 240GB SanDisk Extreme SATA3 SSD / 750GB WD Scorpio Black 7200rpm / Killer 1102 WiFi

    Please don't forget to add to my reputation if you think what I just said helped you, or at least made sense!
