High Spec system with poor 3dmark scores.

Yeah both run at X8 speed which should be set automatically via the bios. I tried it manually (setting to duel card mode and setting both to X8 but no effect). There is only one way they are supposed to go in which is the way i have it, just trying omega drivers but as far as i can see they dont support crossfire?
 
fs looks like the omega drivers (ati tray tools) doesnt support 1900 cards. And strangly i just noticed it has stopped the enter key from working on my keyboard! hmmm any more suugestions. Looking like a complete windows reinstall at the moment and im not holding out any big hopes of that making any difference.
 
yep thats installed. After a whole night of screwing around with different drivers and settings im back to 11936 score which is a slight improvement.

I would image i should be getting at least another 2-4k on that score? it really is driving me nuts that i spent a load of cash to get crossfire setup and at the moment i would have been no worse off with just 1 card. been checking the MSI and ATI support and cant see anything useful and cant find anything via dogpile/google.
 
Hmmm just run 3dmark06 again and maybe it is working as it should be, scored 8112 which i think is about right at stock..

06 scores:

05 scores:
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1946411

I think my previous poor 06 score with this cpu in was due to me turning adaptive AI off.

Does this seem right or still too low? If its too low any other thoughts?

Edit: just found the 3dmark scores thread and the 06 score looks about right for the system at stock so im going to stop screwing with it now :)

Thanks a lot for all your help guys it is REALLY appreciated.
