Your score seems about right to me. Here is mine for comparison http://www.3dmark.com/fs/4294703

I have had that happen before too, not sure why it reports turbo speed wrong at times. It won't lower your graphics score anyway, only your physics and combined score. Either way, your physics score seems to show that you aren't running at the low speed it is reporting. What is your boost clock when you are running the benchmark? I could run it again at lower gpu speeds and I imagine our graphics score we be almost identical.
