Boost level on Gtx 680 and scores in 3dmark 11

[litwicki23]

Hey all. I plug my new MSI GTX 680 and test 3dmark 11. But i am little worried. Take a look about that differences. It is not too much?
Look at 1 loop and 2 loop.On 1 loop In 1 test i have: 45.48 fps but on 2 loop in 1 test i have: 42.95 ( lost 2 fps ) . Something wrong?

I am worried about that 2 loop and score.
All stock.

I know that every Gtx 680 have different BoosT LEVEL but come on, why on that 2 loop i just lost 2 fps. Overheating maybe? System is clean.

You definitely should not worry about a slight frame rate drop it is common in all graphics cards. But to answer your concerns about the frame rates it is probably due to heat or just stress on the card after awhile the Kepler series card tend to throttle the boost clocks due to the temp. Seriously though do not worry about just a two frame drop your card is working perfectly fine.
