Something Doesn't Seem right about my new 980 Ti

[mitch9]

Is there something wrong with my EVGA 980 Ti OC?

Benchmarks:

Fire strike 1.1:

Unigine Heaven:

3D Graphics Mark:

What makes you think something is wrong?

 

[gokitty199]

your updated to the latest drivers?

well his heaven benchmark scores are very low, heck my 970 gets around 2700. idk about the other benchmark scores, never used them but its not scoring very high.

Heaven with only 4x AA, 98FPS, so his is close with 8x on it. Firestrike score, 14k, OP is 12.6, so close.

Heaven again, 96fps, 31 min, compare to 82 and 26. Close and maybe a bit of tweaking but seems in the range of other benchmarks online.

It just seems strange how my numbers are lower and my card is even an OC edition.

What kind of temps are you getting? Monitor during benchmarks to make sure you are not getting too hot and it's throttling, and as asked before, are you running the latest drivers.

Tom's used the latest beta drivers, 352.90, for their 980ti testing.

You also have to take into account they run benchmarks on clean installs with no virus, scanners, or anything to take away any performance and use the highest CPU's, massive RAM, SSD's in RAID to take every single possible little bottleneck out, which gives a better idea of the GPU's power, but in reality, not something everyone can do.

353.06 drivers and have never gone over 83 c.

You are using a custom settings, with everything cranked as high as possible, they are using Ultra, and only with 4xMSAA. Try using their benchmark settings and then compare. You can't compare apples to oranges and get an answer.

Did anyone else notice it's showing the 980ti as 4GB?

These Unigine benchmarks get the wrong data all the time. It's probably a x86 application, which can't see past 4Gb as well.

It says right in the fire strike results, graphics card not recognized, generic VGA. Are you sure it's in the right Pcie slot? I had the same problem, my card was running at X1 instead of x16 pcie

You probably need to uninstall the gpu in the device mgr and reinstall it with the nvidia drivers. It's not being recognized by the program you're using. Is the card overclocked? It may be seeing poor response to the current OC settings. You know those guys probably run the card on the edge of it's oc potential, and probably with the case open and a fan blowing on the cards directly, right?
