3DMark test results and breakdown

[Nicolasb]

Hi guys, 

 

Can you take a look at my scores and tell me what you think?

It says my GPU is great but my CPU is holding it back or something, even tho i'm running at 4.6 Ghz

 

Any tips on how to improve/upgrade my pc?

 

Thanks in advance!

@Nicolasb please follow your own threads (top right corner) to receive notifications.

Moving along, right off the bat It seems to not like your GPU Drivers, are you running the latest official Nvidia ones?

 

 

Here are my 3D Mark results ( this was before I OC'ed my CPU/GPU so things have changed, but I'm currently on my surface pro 3 so yea... )

Considering the difference between our CPUs and GPUs, I think you're where you should be.

Yeh I am ( I think) Running version 347.09.

 

The version on the gigabyte site is a different one tho, should I use that one instead? On the site its version 344.11 released in 2014/09/19 so i doubt its up to date.

Download Nvidia's GeForce Experience (if you haven't already): http://www.geforce.com/geforce-experience

 

It'll then prompt you to update drivers and will tell you every time a driver is available - which for the GTX900 series, seems to be almost every 3 weeks recently.

I did and it already told me it's the latest driver. So nothing is wrong then it seems right?

 

Also, am i not overdoing it with the cpu? 4.6GHz seems allot for a 3770k or am i mistaken?
