If it performs better when it's overclocked does it matter if a score on some program is lower?

Does it matter? As long as the CPU performs well when gaming/what-ever-else-you-use-it-for, it shouldn't matter.

AC3 is quite an intensive, game. That has nothing to do with your CPU. And SW:ToR, is weird, it all depends on the amount of people in your area, try switching to one of the other zones for the specific area your in.
