Performance difference after new motherboard

[PeggersXtreme]

Hi,

 

I recently changed my motherboard from the Xpower x99 to the Gaming 9 ACK x99 and my performance on 3DMark firestrike is less even with everything overclocked further  there is one main difference this time round and that is I am using one x16 and one x8 PCI-e lane but I wouldn't have expected such a large performance drop as most people were saying it wont make much difference anyway I have attached some images of the scores and the clock speeds the faster clock speeds are with the gpu in x16 and x8 the slower are when I was running x16 x16

Do you have any links to the detailed results pages? Would be interested to see exactly which category the points were lost in.

 

Try knocking down the clock on the Titan's back to 1,222MHz, and picking the mem clock back up to 1,791MHz. OCing the cards can sometimes throw out some odd results if they're hitting a limit.

It appears to be the Graphic score losing over 3000 points so I will try the same OC see if I can get it to run again since changing motherboard the titans hate having their memory overclocked but I will give it another try.

did you clean install windows?

I've tended to get some crazy scores out of too high a core clock on my GTX cards. They always hit an upper limit that resulted in lower scores than having it at a lower clock. Never really cared enough to figure out why, but it's worth a shot.

Looking at the difference in the final scores I'd say you're within the margin of error. I'd rerun the test and see if you get any different results before I'd mess with any of your overclocks. Better safe and all that.

The thing is the higher score is from when my CPU was only clocked at 4ghz now I have it at 4.5ghz now so was expecting higher scores especially with a larger overclock on the gpu's
