Default help with 2x4890 and 3dmark

Basically I am just wondering why my scores are so terrible. I'm a total NOOB to 3d benching and I'm runnning 3dmark05 with a 1090T @ 4.25GHz and 2x4890 @ 1000/1100....I'm getting 30000 points with 1 card and 31000 with 2 cards which seems really low. I know both cards are working simultaneously at least according to afterburner. One thing I have always noticed and thought was really stupid is that when in crossfire neither card works nearly up to it's full potential. They stay under ~35-40% load.

I'm wondering if something seems rotten or can I actually expect to gain several thousand points by increasing the CPU 2000MHz? I've never 3d benched at all really and I am trying to get things figured out before I start pouring LN2. I've seen some pretty good results with say a 965BE(quad) @ 6.2GHz so I'm figuring my 1090T(heka) @ 6GHz should be either very close to the same or maybe a bit better in the multi-threaded ones.

Thanks for taking the time to read.
