System specs:
i5-3570k Ivy Bridge @ 4.1 GHz

Asus P8Z77 V Lk
EVGA GTX 970 FTW+, driver v.359.06, stock factory overclock, ASIC 73.5%

Running Unigine Valley 1.0 on Extreme HD Preset, I get a FPS of 59.5, Score of 2488, Min FPS 30.4 and Max FPS 113.7. I'm not impressed by these scores...is something wrong with my card?

Can you run 3DMARK FireStrike, and see what your graphics score is on that!

It doesn't seem there is anything wrong with the card,did you test games?
Motherboard Bios updated with latest? also disable any antivirus and test.

BIOS is latest. And no offense, but I run Windows 10, so disabling antivirus is N/A here...and I just don't go to sketchy websites or torrent on my gaming PC. That's what smartphones are for

Do you have vsync turned on when testing with valley?

Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D Settings > Vertical Sync > Use the 3D application setting.

Score does seems lower than it should be. I have a 970 and I just ran Valley a few times and score averages around 4200.

That's what I have seen as well. GPU-Z reports that I have a full x16 lane width, and I am reaching the as advertised clocks and boost clocks. I'm leaning towards an RMA...

I guess one thing I should mention, I have a 2560x1080 monitor, but the Extreme HD preset is 1920x1080. I assume thats what my GPU renders and outputs during the Valley benchmark?

Yeah it should be rendering it at whatever resolution you select when you start the test
