Something seems off..

[C snake]

Hey guys
Two Asus 980 in sli using heaven benchmark (free) and without any OC and the default 100% power limit (msi afterburner) i got a score of 1780 which feels extremely low...
Next i OCed core and mem clock only and i actually scored lower at 1480.
This test are running at DX11, x8 supersample, ultra and highest tessilation setting at 1440p.
Basically this seems very low for the cards to me. Anyone agree? Drivers are up to date.

Thanks

There's a chance that Heaven benchmark doesn't do SLI well. Try turning it off, and see what happens.

However, the first score doesn't look to bad. Also, you may want to watch your temps during the benchmark. There is the EXTREMELY off chance that they're throttling. Do you have the cards installed right next to each other or with a 1-slot gap in between?

They are both right next to each other. My PSU is blocking me from going any further down.

Ahh. Your upper card could definitely be throttling, which in turn *may* cause the overall score to go down. How do they perform during gaming? (If you have it) can you run GTA V on Ultra settings with no hitches, or do you encounter frame lag?
