Normal Firestrike score 1080 GTX?

[jared426]

Hello, I've just upgraded to a Asus Strix 1080 GTX 8AG. I've been running benchmarks and was wondering what a normal score for this type of card is? I feel like the scores I'm pulling are a bit low considering the card is running at 1932mhz, overclocked through GPU Tweak II. Some reviews of the card that I've been looking at show scores of around 1800-2000. I'm currently getting a score of 16997, which seems to be close to a non oc'd card. What do you guys think?

Case: Corsair 780T
Motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth Z97 Mark 2
CPU: Intel i7 4790K @ 4.40Ghz
RAM: 8GB G.Skill Rijaw 1866Mhz
Video Card: Asus Strix 1080 GTX A8G
Power Supply: Corsair AX750 Pro
Monitor: ASUS VG248QE 144hz
OS: Windows 10 Professional

What is the graphics score? The combined score factors in the physics (cpu) score.

Your graphics score looks normal for a 1080. Your CPU score is what brings down the overall result. Here is my 1080 clocked at 2063 for comparison.

This was my stock clocked 1080 FE:

I started overclocking a bit more and was able to run stable test in Heaven 4.0 and Time Spy, but when I run Firestrike it crashes. Why would Time Spy not crash when its harder on your GPU? Should I be worried that Firestrike is crashing? I was reading that the recent Nvidia driver update is messing up peoples overclocks. Could that be a reason that Firestrike is crashing on me?

Pretty sure my Time Spy score of 7255 is decent, right?

Sorry for all the silly questions, this is the first time I've ever overclocked a GPU. Just want to make sure everything is okay lol.

If Firestrike is crashing it could be your overclock. Firestrike would crash without even starting the run for me until I verified the files via Steam, then everything worked as normal. You definitely play some games for a bit too. I have passed benchmarks at times then 15 or 20 minutes into a game I will get artifacts or a crash. 2000 to 2050 seems to be the average stable overclock from what I have seen. Some cards can go higher but that depends on your luck in the silicon lottery.

Just played about 2 minutes of bf1 before it crashed, guess its not a stable OC after all.... 🙁

I've been using MSI afterburner but I think I'm going to go back to GPU Tweak II.

Have you increased the power limit setting yet?

 

[jared426]

Yeah, I'm trying that now. Also only going to use Firestrike since the other tools were stable for whatever reason and Firestrike/bf1 were crashing.
Currently, stable in Firestrike with +100 voltage and 1900mhz core clock in GPU Tweak II. Going to try 1915mhz now.
