Hackintosh is superior to iMac, but slower! I don't get it?

Yikes. My new hackintosh seems smoother and faster editing in FCPX, but rendering is slower than my old iMac! It take my old iMac 29 mins to render a 30 minute timeline to prores, and it takes my Hackintosh 40 minutes! I have two AMD 280X cards in my Hackintosh, but it doesn't matter if I take a card out as rendering time is identical, so it seems having 2 cards makes no difference at all?

My Hackintosh is superior to the iMac, but rendering is quite a bit slower? I don't get it? What's going wrong?

See images attached, but here are the highlights of the components.

Graphic Geekbench score is OpenCL Score 106921 so its not like its a slow graphics card (cards?). Again this score doesn't change if its just one card or two cards installed.
 
Imac geekbench score is... A lot less? <scratches head>
