3dMark Fire Strike 1.1

[marooncow]

So I used the demo of 3dmark fire strike and got the brawn achievement which says "Your GPU is ready to rumble, but your CPU doesn't want to play." Should i be worried about this because my gpu is a Gigabyte Geforce 980ti and cpu is Intel i7 6700?

Maybe it's all relative and they're comparing your CPU with much higher liquid cooled/OC'd CPU's where your GPU at stock can't be touched by let's say a 980 with a good OC.

What was the score, we'll compare them to similar setups and decide if CPU is really holding your score back.

15656 is what 980ti at reference gets with the 8 core 5960x @ 4.4ghz so you're good, unlike gaming firestrike will use every core/thread/oc you can throw at it and scores accordingly.

Thats a relief. This was my first build so i was worried about any problems. Thanks
