EDIT: thanks for taking the time to test that DOM
Always, forever, in every computer and no matter what 2 x 4890 I'm using when I run CFX both cards only run ~ 40% tops except an occasional spike. Usually each card is at a fairly steady 30%....which never made any sense to me. Each card alone runs ~90% or whatever it needs. I verified that the core clocks are coming up from 240 to 1000 when 3d starts.

Dropping to like 4x or something you mean? Pretty sure it's not and it is a newer board(CHIV).

I just ran 3dmark 03 a couple times and I get 42000 less points than this guy with a very similar setup. How can this be?

I had my system in diag mode with afterburner going to verify that both cards are staying clocked up and they are.

I'm stumped and I have to get it figured out before I start pouring the last 20 liters I have, hopefully before it all evaporates.

Look at these 2 screenshots........ I should theoretically definitely be able to beat 109000 points. What's the deal?

EDIT: btw my cards were @ 998/1097...could it be that a 965BE is just flat out 40000 points better than a 1090T in 03...I better go eat lunch and try the 965BE although I'm sure that's not the problem.
