Checking to see if anyone else is experiencing the same issue.
I have two 980ti Classys in SLI and have been able to hit 32,000+ firestrike (graphics score only) several months ago. However, with the recent drivers, I struggle to get above 27,000. My latest run was only ~24,000. Anyone else have a similar experience?
I know it's not all about benchmarks, but I enjoy OC-ing and tweaking to try to see what I can squeeze out of my hardware.
Thanks for any feedback...

Could be the Newer Drivers or your overclocking is showing its wear. Remember back when Windows Updates caused a huge drop in Scores as well so it could also be an update from Microsoft. Post your last Good Score http://www.3dmark.com/fs/9394581 and your newer Scores http://www.3dmark.com/fs/9394581Drop the http:// in front of your links and you can post. You need 10 or more Post to be able to Post Links.

In that case... anyone want to buy some gently overclocked 980tis?  Just kidding. I will see if I have the firestrike scores. I am not sure if they were saved or not. I have never created a firestrike account...

So, I rolled back to 368.81 and I got the below: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/15723255 I hit 32,000 (graphics score only) without overclock. On the latest drivers, I hit 25,000. Why would it be such a drastic difference?

I would say with this MB MSI Z97 GAMING 5 (MS-7917 your scores a good. Physics Test is holding you back a little 37.13 fps http://www.3dmark.com/compare/fs/10620413/fs/4804942

Thanks for the information. Do you know why the new drivers, 375.70 would drop the graphics score?

Each Driver changes so the only one who can give you a real answer is NVIDIA.

Well.... apparently my PC just had a bad day the last time I tried to benchmark. I just DDU-ed and installed 375.70 and got the same 32,000+ graphics score on stock speeds.
Not sure what was going on...

I didn't save a link from the latest run. I can rerun and include it in a little while.

Here's the link for the latest run. It's not quite as high as earlier, but I don't have a link for that run. Still, this is almost 32,000. http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/15734083 I didn't do a reboot right before running this benchmark, so that could be why it's a few hundred points off, but still respectable.

Graphics Score 31893 is lower with this non-approved driver. Graphics Score 32082 http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/15723255

I noticed this when I tried out on of the latest drivers - ''any'' oc of the card my scores went down at least 200 points from the samw oc I used with a older driver ,BUT the card at box stock settings the scores went up over the older drivers ??? so the box stock card seemed to of helped but if applied any oc to the same card you loose [using same oc profiles used with older driver ] ?? anyway that's what I see here on my system and card ? maybe some more of that NVidia gimping if you ''adjust'' your card out side of out of the box stock ???
