First, Welcome to Xtreme. ;)
Can you be a little more specific about the memory timings in the bios?
Did you set the Direct3D setting on "High performance"?
Your card isn't oc'ing that good, can't it go any higher?

I think the "problem" lies in the lower R9700 overclock.
Most people have a normal R9700 that will do an overclock similar to yours.
Others are just lucky or buy a bunch of R9700's to find one that overclocks well. The budget-minded try to buy a pretested card.

If you could get say something like 390/360 that 19K would be almost no problem (i think, since I'm and AMD runner i can't be 100% sure)

OK but what are your memory timings in the bios? 2.5-7-3-3 or so?

Then I guess that your card is holding you back from a better score.
Did you make a clean install of XP with only the videocard drivers installed ?

Try selling the card and Buying a fast card, one that will go much higher on air.
Especially on air

Then add pelts and stuff for HIGH scores :D

ranlord, welcome to Xtreme! :D

As the other guys said, your card is holding you back...

How about a compare URL though?
