ok your e8400 shouldnt be that low. have you tried oc it to 3.2/3.4 etc?

quad's get more points, but not that much more.

but your gpu should be 2k more. espically on that gpu card.

WIth your processor at stock, you should be getting at least 15k.

But it doesn't sound like both GPU's are enabled. Have you checked CCC to see if the crossfire is enabled?

After you figure out that problem, then you need to overclock your CPU to release that cards power

open catalyst control center, click CrossfireX tab, then configure. Make sure there is a check in that box.
