I bet your CPU is actually bottlenecking your GPU. It's only running at the lowest speed. I imagine you are using graphics enabler and if you select the openCL fix in multibeast your graphics card should be good to go. Read up on SSDT fixes on ASUS boards and you should have your system up and running in good shape.

You were totally right - this is my latest GeekBench report: http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench2/864128

MUCH better performance and all I had to do is the run the SSDT from MultiBeast (I actually didn't even realize that section existed - sigh)

I had previously disabled this ktext due to reading a few reports of graphics improvement (which makes sense to me considering the name of the kext)
