Are my 3D Mark 11 scores accurate?

Hi

I'm having doubts about my score in 3D Mark 11 (performance test), especially the physics score. These tests indicates that my score should be way higher:

It's the same processor at almost the same clock speed but the physics scores are way higher.

I have no idea why because the overclock seems to be stable after running prime95 and playing BF3 without any crashes or errors and it's not overheating.



Intel Core i5-4670K @4.4 Ghz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 1200 Mhz core clock (with boost) and 1577 Mhz memory
MSI Z87-G45 GAMING (MS-7821)
RAM 2x4 GB @ 1600 Mhz
64-bit Windows 7 (6.1.7601)

not that I have a good answer for your question, but I have the same issue with my 3dmark11 scores. My i7 3770k scores 10600 around at 4.5ghz where it should have been a lot higher considering all the review websites. Even other people on the net get higher score than me with lower cpu clocks. So I sort of assumed either, my overclock isn't entirely stable(highly unlikely since I have tried all sorts of overclocks and ran becnhmark each time but no improvement) or maybe I have damaged cpu/ slot on the motherboard during installation to the point that its no longer functioning as good as it should have.

its happened to my pci express 16x slot- when I damaged it, the gpu started getting lower score on benchmarks and poor performance on games then I took out the gpu off the 16x slot and put it on the 8x slot- and it started performing fast again about 20% better than the 16x slot which was damaged.

Hope this helps you troubleshoot your problem a bit.
