Lower scores on Firestrike than usual

[kamuran55]

Last weekend I scored 14k graphics in Firestrike and my scores now are down to the low 13k mark.

I have a GTX 970 that is clocked 2048 mhz on the core clock and the memory it is clocked at 1,554 MHz.

I have tried to run the same OC and lower OCs on the benchmark but I can't get up to 12k anymore.

Why is this happening?

I tried to uninstall my drivers which helped a bit. I reseated my GPU and plugged my GPU back into my mobo.

Do you know how I can go back up to my record?

I think you are misremembering your score. Maybe your ran a different test? This highest score with your processor/card is 12,539 on Firestrike. Here's a comparison:

If you are happy with your actually gaming experiences, I would say don't worry about it. You aren't far off from the number 1 overclocker with a similar rig.

I want to just beat my high scores for fun. Im not sure why they are lower.

No, Im not not remembering my score. It's the same firestrike test too.

No one is even close that number with your hardware, man. Good luck!
