I score only 9300 on firestrike with my GTX970

[poomraider]

I know that's not normarl right?? I got i5-3570k and 12 gb of ram. How can the score be that low, while everybody else got around 11000. Please Tell me what's wrong with my rig.

ps. I use 347.09 driver
ps. By firestrike I mean the normal one not the extreme one.

The 11000 score requires overclocking of the processor AND graphics card. It probably also requires a heavier heatsink and more aggressive fan profile to stop the graphics card from throttling back once it reaches temperature (80 degC).

So you telling me that's it normal.

Yes, it's normal.
3DMark's score is a combination of GPU and CPU performance, and 3DMark loves fast,multi core cpu's so i5's (without hyper-threading thus only 4 cores instead of the 8 logical cores from i7's) score a bit on the low side and as a result it drags the overall score down. Just check your GPU score under the main score, it should be above 11000 (even up to 12000s). My standard, slightly overclocked score is 9630, with my highest overclock going up to 10338. It's practically impossible to get 11000 with an i5 without massive overclocking on both the cpu and gpu.

if thats your overall score then seems pretty normal, but if thats your graphics score then yeah thats a little off. i got 11771 without even overclocking, OCd its at 12500.

my msi 970 gtx OC with i5-4690k does firestrike at 9988. Thought I could break 10000, but any higher on the gpu boost and I get artifacts.

 

[b_murray]

Only 11000 I've seen was on 3dgurus, but that was an MSI Gaming Edition overclocked hard.

 

[poomraider]

If That's overall score , then it's normal right??

Btw a single evga gtx 980 sc card scores at 6250 on firestrike and 4000 on extreme

 

[poomraider]

Btw a single evga gtx 980 sc card scores at 6250 on firestrike and 4000 on extreme

Doesn't that lower than my GTX970
