It might be that the system reports 1x by error whilst the graphic card actually works as it should. I mean that is the system IS running 1x you should get really really bad scores.
Make a comparison, first run everything at deafult and note the score, then make your system report 1x and then run the same benchmark again and note the score. Better or worse?
From my experience with this problem, it's a real performance drop, not just information report. Even scrolling a web page will feel slower (not smooth) compared to running 16x.
