Zotac GTX 760 running extremely different onto computers.

[Thunder_Ruler0]

Ok, so my brother uses a Zotac GTX 760 AMP edition gpu along with an AMD 4000's series cpu. I on the other hand, have a EVGA GTX 570 with a AMD FX 8350 cpu. I wanted to bench his GPU against mine using Uniengine's Heaven benchmark. For some reason his score was 1771, and mine was 1800 overclocked. Confused about why this was happening, I opened Beamng drive to see how many FPS his GPu would get, and once again confused, his gpu was "maxed out" at 100% (based on what MSI afterburner was telling me) at a disappointing 12fps. This applied to all maps, and to everything that I tried in the game. The fps was locked at 12-13, and did not change like it normally would based on the map.

We put his GPu back into his computer, and everything worked like expected. We ran the Unigen Heaven benchmark again and he got a score of 2800. beamng ran at the maximum 60fps. 

Does anyone know why this happens? I made sure that all the drivers where updated on both computers, and made sure that nothing was sucking the power in the background. we both have similar motherboards, 16gb ram, and AMD FX cpus.

 

*edit: I have a 8350, he has the 4000 series, and i have the locked 12fps.

The FX 8350 is better than the FX 4000 series.

This is all that needs to be said; The CPU is also a determining factor.

Yes but the brother has the APU so should perform worse, however the poster has the 8350 so should perform better, however he is not.

The GPU's with the 8350 is doing worse then with the APU.

Older PCIe slot?

I would guess this also ...

 

My HD7870 runs better on my "newish" i3 than it did on my old C2Q. Even at stock speeds the GPU is faster with the i3 than max OC on the C2Q.

I'm pretty sure Uniengine Heaven also uses your CPU as well to benchmark your whole PC rather than just the GPU.

I have a brand new Asus motherboard, and just to be clear, I am the one with the lower score, and the 8350.
