3D Mark Vantage is an industry benchmark that tests the frames per second (fps) and computations per second (cps) of the CPU and GPU combination. The 2301 the GPU scored in the APU test is comparable to entry-level Radeon cards (such as the 6530D included in the A6). The 6809 the APU and GPU in CrossFire scored was substantially better, comparable to a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti GPU.
A 3DMark score is an overall measure of your system’s 3D gaming capabilities, based on comprehensive real-time 3D graphics and processor tests. By comparing your score with those submitted by millions of other gamers you can see how your gaming rig performs, making it easier to choose the most effective upgrades or finding other ways to optimize your system.

PC Mark Vantage is a tool used to test the efficiency of the entire system in a gaming environment. The 2249 score achieved here with the APU is most likely due to the APU changing back and forth between graphics performance and computational performance. The 2515 score achieved in CrossFire demonstrates how the APU and GPU are sharing resources in order to provide improved performance.
I recently upgraded to an ASRock motherboard and absolutely love it.
