Posted July 1, 2016 Hey Guys, To start off with the basic, specs are: Windows 10 Pro Asus Maximus VI Formula Intel i7 4770-K (not oc'd right now, but was at 4.4ghz) MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X (see below) Corsair Dominator 16GB 1866 (not oc) SAMSUNG 840 SSD 500GB Corsair AXi 1200 So the short of it is that I just bought an MSI GTX 1070 GAMING X and in order to use it, I had to reformat my SSD because of too many issues post windows 10 upgrade. All my drivers are up to date including the newest BIOS for my mobo and the gpu. The current OC on my card is and is running stable benchmarks atm: However, every benchmark I'm seeing from reviewers and on posts shows around a 17k score in fire strike on an FE card. I'm honestly not sure if I've missed something here or something is wrong with my card? I'm hoping that it's something on my end that's fixable, because I'd hate to have to RMA the card. Any thoughts guys? I'm really curious as to what's going on, if there is any issue at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't EVER judge a GPU by the overall score. Ever.... It's foolish as hell for the review sites to post overall firestrike scores when reviewing GPUs, but they almost always do.... Ignore them, look at the graphics score. Overclock that CPU, man....you'll be a lot happier. Valley, btw, is REALLY CPU dependent...the higher your core clock on the CPU is, the higher your score will be. /wink CPU: Ryzen 1600X @ 4.15ghz MB: ASUS Crosshair VI Mem: 32GB GSkill TridenZ 3200GPU: 1080 FTW PSU: EVGA SuperNova 1000P2 / EVGA SuperNova 750P2 SSD: 512GB Samsung 950 PROHD: 2 x 1TB WD Black in RAID 0 Cooling: Custom cooling loop on CPU and GPU OS: Windows 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 1, 2016 Author Thanks for the insight. Yeah I had it OC'd before, but the reformat and BIOS upgrade got rid of all my settings So you're sure I've got nothing to worry about? Just want to make sure I'm taking advantage of the card and that there's no problems because I'm gonna be putting it under water soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 1, 2016 I wouldn't see any reason to worry. The graphics score looks right about where it should be for those clocks.

Posted July 1, 2016 its the cpu, im getting 15k with an fe 1080 using a 4770. its that 9k physics score bringing us both down, where reviewers tend to be using 6700k and getting 20k there. i get 9k and ~22k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 1, 2016 Pretty sure his physics scores should StIll be better... You did a format....So your Windows Power Profiles (Control Panel) are Likely defaulted....right? Go to them, Set High Performance Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,..

Posted July 1, 2016 I got around the same score with that gpu need to OC my CPU, good to see some other person getting around the same score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i'll get it back to where I was last time. I just needed a big chunk of time to stress test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by everyone's comments, We're all around the same mark. It's a huge relief because I got a little scared for a minute there. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 2, 2016 4770k should be getting around 11k cpu score, when you run firestrike make sure chrome is shut, it hogs the cpu, i know this, but 19k on your gpu, thats only 3k less than my 1080.

Posted July 6, 2016 Author I ended up having to lower my GPU clock (without fine tuning) to 70/400+ to get stable in video games. Also, I put my CPU back up to 4.4ghz stable. I'll re-bench today and post so anyone who was in my position can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted August 3, 2016 My 1070 is underperforming also, I even made a video of it: Compared to a 1060 my GPU is getting 20 less frames than it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhtORzdNuNQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
