Check out a run in 3dmark with the CPU at default clocks, everything in the BIOS on auto, the only thing overclocked was the card at the same clocks as I ran with the Phenom.

The best with my Phenom was 15447 at 3.4 GHz


I think it's mainly because the CPU score. Unfortunately the CPU score has a pretty high influence on the final score. Compare the SM2.0 and HDR/SM3.0 scores only.

If you can.
