gtx 970 vs gtx 1080

[StickFunFight]

so i was just testing my gtx 1080 with a i5 6600k stock and i noticed i got the same score as i had on my gtx 970 can someone explain?

 

edit: it was in valley benchmark

 

also a friend of mine did the same test on his system with a gtx 1070 and i5 6600k stock and got a higher score than both of my cards

Testing with what?  Windows score?  3DMark, etc.?  Give examples, numbers.  If it's windows score which is relatively useless, the score's always the lowest out of their categories.

You have to give a bit more info than that. What benchmark?

valley benchmark

That is somewhat curious.  Have you tested with something else to see if you get a similar comparison between the two?  Also, in your actual in game or application experience, does the 1080 feel faster or more capable?

Did you DDU and reinstalled drivers fresh new? the i5 6600k wil bottleneck the 1080 at 1080p also valley benchmark scores mean little, that is more of a stress test.

Hmm. Is it the same case for games/other benchmarks?

 

The standard thing to do is to use DDU and reinstall your drivers.

i did reinstall the drivers for the 1080 never heard of DDU is it necessary to do that?

With DDU in safe mode?

That is the only true way of wiping old drivers left overs in the system and fixing the registry, your issue is driver related, your 1080 is still thinking it is a 970.

i also played a little bit of gta 5 on it in 4k it was pushing over 100fps on high do you still think i should try and wipe the drivers?

well i tested with my friend in 3dmark and i got a higher graphics score but he got higher on everything else

I was just showing that UserBenchamark has already compared the graphics cards and shows performance and price and the rating of the card compared to others.

yeah but my problem is that i get the same scores on valley benchmark with both cards + my friend with the same cpu and a 1070 gets a higher score

Is your system well cooled? If not it may be thermal throttling.

 

It also could be another one of your parts throttling your gpu, ie, a cheap cpu, a cheap psu, cheap ram, or disk that could slow down your graphics capability. You can check this when running the tests by seeing if anything other part maxes out.

ok so i just swapped back to the 1080 with drivers reinstalled and i got a score of 5000 that is already 300 higher than my 970 but it is on par with my friend with the 1070 and the i5 6600k so i might just get the 1070 for less and have the same preformance

 

1080p - score 5000

1440p - score 4900

4k score- 5000

 

cpu and gpu never go above 60% use

If he has a i7-6700K, that's probably the reason why.

 

Getting 5000 in Valley sounds about normal.

I tried that benchmark there. I scored 6300 using 2 GTX970s and a 7700k. Sounds likely to be the CPU making the difference (since the new GPU gets the same score) but you shouldn't worry about it. As you said you're getting 100+ FPS in GTA which is very heavy on CPU usage.
