Yeah that looks about normal, with 1200mhz on the core and a higher memory overclock you can usually hit 1500 score. You need to transfer to the actual Heaven thread though

if its multithreaded then yes your i5 is limited,running cinebench cpu test will show you how much multithreaded cpu's score higher
The 3dmark11 physics test will also show this, clock for clock over 2000 points between a 2500k and 2600k.
Dammit, so should I have gone for the 3770k over the 3570k after all?
Not unless you're going multi-GPU and even with 2 cards the increase in performance ain't that much.
I moved from i5 Sandy to i7 Ivy and increase in performance in games and in total was no more than 5% at the very, very best. Obviously 3DM11 score was helped tremendously.
Updated score for me:
680 SLI; i7 3770K @ 4.6 Ghz

It is Muti Threaded but I have no clue about using more than 4 cores. I do know I am bottlenecked with my I5 @ 4.6 but a 3930K should sort that out.
Presumably, sure I saw someone mention the other day that BF3 can use up to 6 threads.
nice Graphics score .... honest
I've had higher
I take it its with the Lightning?
As they seem to perform very nice
