SL dropped my Xbench score

[bearcatrp]

Just installed SL. Decided to see what xbench results would do. I know its not the best benchmark to use but what the heck. I went from 181 in Leopard to 169 in SL. Processor went up but open cl dropped from 214 to 113. Its the stock ati card in it. Will run cinebench to see what the difference is.

Benchmarks apps like Xbench are pretty much useless. And is that OpenGL or OpenCL?

Its GL. Thanks for pointing that out.

To expand on my earlier point. Try running a photoshop plugin test or as you mentioned Cinebench. Those will be a much better test of system performance.
