Firestrike score suddenly 2k lower

[japesthetank]

parts list: http://pcpartpicker.com/b/p6qkcf

 

I just bought a new case and rebuilt my comp.  Before, with *only* upping the boost clock speed in gpu tweak to 1400, I got a firestriek score of 16030. Now, No matter how finely I tune my overclock, I am getting 14500. In fact, sometimes when overclocking the score was as low are 13500.

 

Before my rebuild stock clocks came in at 14700. Now they are in the mid 13k area.

 

Besides my case, nothing has changed. I really have no idea what to do to troubleshoot this further. I am at work now, but any ideas to try tonight would be appreciated. 

 

 

ps. this looks interesting... http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/2wpd2v/build_help_all_of_the_sudden_scoring_2k_less/

I dont know. I got 19k when I first ran it then about 15-16 all the rest. Maybe the first time is just like that

I would say bottleneck but not with that processor. Hmmm

My first scores were low 14k. so its not that...

 

Do cards get worn in? They are 6 months old now... though i never ran them overclocked except when i did that benchmark.

 

Sometimes increasing the overclock actually produced a lower score. was very strange.

Throttling, OC weirdness or app. glitches

fair enough, any steps to track down the specific bug?

Update: Performed a clean windows install. firestriek got up to 15k. so a noticeable improvement. I also have read that this is happening to many people with the latest gta v driver...
