Hello guys i was wondering about my FurMark low score on my graphic's card, did i do something wrong with drivers or its just a low gaming graphic's card..

My setup:

1. CPU - i5-6600k
2. GPU R9 270 sapphire
3. DDR4 2666 MHz hyperx fury
4. SSD 750 evo

I have a score 1900 points on FurMark, then i tried to compare scores and i found one graphic card that that has a lower rating on gpuboss and has 3300 points on FurMark MSI Radeon HD 7970. Can someone help me or tell do i need to install some other drivers or this graphic card is that bad...

An R9 270 is closer related to the HD7850, a HD7970 isn't even in the same league.
Furmark is a terrible way to test a graphics cards performance, it's more of a stress testing programs, you would be better off using something like 3Dmark Firestrike or Unigine Heaven/Valley if you want a synthetic comparison.

Well i've used Unigine Valley , and my score was not even in the mark of normal with my specifications.... For example a configuration with the same proccesor i5-6600k and GeForce GTX 980 Ti had a 4612 score, when my r9 270 scored 1400. http://www.overclock.net/t/1360884/official-top-30-unigine-valley-benchmark-1-0.

And on GPUboss scores for GTX 980 Ti was 8 and for R9 270 sapphire was 7.7, can it really be a "THAT" much difference between scores on Unigine?
