low-scores on benchmarks

[Tokke89]

Just wondering, I have an fx 8350 at 4.0 and a MSI r9 290X gaming 4gb edition(1030/1250) and ive been getting a score of 2400 - 2500 in Unique Valley 1.0 (depends on the driver I ques). On another forum they told me it is a low score for the setup.

Also in Firestrike its a score just over 8200. does anyone know if these scores are below the average scores?

the rest of my rig contains:
CPUcooler: tt Spin Q VT
GPU: MSI r9 290x 4GB GAMING
CPU: FX8350 4.0ghz
Zalman Z9 plus
MB: Asrock fatal1ty 990fx killer
HDD 500GB 7200rmp
Ram: D3 8GB 1600-11 DragonRAM K2 GEI
PSU: Coolermaster B700watt non-modulair
Current driver: 14.7

Thanks in advance,

greetings Tom

Yeah, somewhat low. 8200-ish is what I was getting with my Phenom II X4 965BE @ 4.0 GHz and a R9-290X. My FX-8350 @ 4.6 GHz and the same card got 8800-ish in Firestrike. http://www.3dmark.com/compare/fs/2797001/fs/3109162

hmm, thats weird indeed. The score with my setup scores exactly the same as yours with the Phenom II X4 965BE @ 4.0 GHz. I suppose its normal that your build with the fx 8350 4.6 scores higher than mine. Do you have any advice for what i could try?

Thanks for the quick reply!

Just to get as high an OC as you can. my Firestrike score at stock (4.0 GHz/4.2 GHz Turbo) was a bit lower than my PhII X4 OC'ed: http://www.3dmark.com/fs/2721613
