GTX680 DCII TOP slower than reference card?

Before i had two Asus GTX 680 SLI. My 3DMark score was P17326.
Now i have two DCII TOP's running in SLI and i cant seem to get the scores higher than P16560.
I've used Asus GPU tweak on both setups and i cant get the DCII TOP's higher that 1294Mhz in SLI (single 1304Mhz).
Any input on how this is possible? I mean, you would believe that the non overclocked DCII TOP's at 1202Mhz, would give a higher score than the overclocked reference 680's at 1137Mhz.

This is running with a 3770K @ 4,8Ghz and 16Gb 1866 corsair dominators.

your sli reference card number seems abnormally high, most people get 14-15k with dual reference 680s

This is the reference in SLI http://3dmark.com/3dm11/3740806
This is the DCII TOP in SLI http://3dmark.com/3dm11/3740799

Besides the cards, the only difference is that i used a Sabertooth Z77 mobo (because i need the space for the slots) in stead of the Maximus V Gene with the reference cards

And because of the scores from the reference cards (wich gave a first score of 15k) i was aiming for 19k with the TOP's... Now i dont even get close..

The second result has your hd4000 intergrated graphics in as well try disabling it

Thats not possible. And i dont know why its in the overview since all the settings were axactly the same.
