• I have the newest Nvidia drivers as of now (375.95) but I also tried the last two (375.86 and 375.70). The results were about the same. 
• I have the newest Precision XOC version as of now (6.0.9)

• The only thing that has changed since my last video card was in my computer is the PSU. I swapped my EVGA SuperNOVA 850 B2, 80+ BRONZE 850W for an EVGA SuperNOVA 1050 GS, 80+ GOLD 1050W
• My CPU has been overclocked to 4.6 GHz for a long time. 
• Windows 10 64 Bit and rest of my specs are down below

My OLD 1080:
Stable up to 2038 MHz.
Mostly hovered between 1987-2025 MHz
Temps are 70-80 C in benchmark
Memory clock at 5454
3D Mark Fire Strike Ultra = 4908 - 5047
 
My NEW 1080:
Stable at 2114 MHz (could probably do more)
Hovers between 2088 - 2114 MHz
Temps are 40-50 C in benchmark
Memory clock at 5454
3D Mark Fire Strike Ultra = 5404 - 5585

The higher the score the better the performance. Looks like the new card is working a lot better than the old one.

OOPS I flipped the scores in my copy/paste adventures. I double checked it all now and it is correct. Sorry for the confusion.

In that case...

Before you start

"In general, you should benchmark every device you test under the same conditions. For example, you should test every system in the same location, at room temperature, and away from direct sunlight and other heat sources.
The precision of Futuremark benchmarks scores is usually better than 3%. This means that running a benchmark repeatedly on a consistently performing system in a well-controlled environment will produce scores that fall within a 3% range.
Individual scores may occasionally fall outside the margin of error since the factors that influence the score cannot be completely controlled in a modern, multitasking operating system. There are also devices that simply do not offer consistent performance due to their design. In these cases, it is necessary to run the benchmark multiple times, and then take either an average or a mode of the results."

You didn't post what driver version you used for the OLD benchmark run.
 
Drivers to make a difference...and the last few releases from NVIDIA have been junk.  I'm still running on an older version of their driver as the latest releases are not stable for folding @ home.

372.90 is what I am currently running.

Looks like your new card is only off by 3 fps.

Yeah but at 4K and those frames, that's a 12% difference. The difference in frames is bigger at lower resolutions. I upgraded from a 980 Ti so I'm trying to squeeze the most out of this GTX 1080 . It just doesn't make sense that the same type of card is performing worse at higher clocks and lower temps. Blows my mind. What did EVGA do to prevent this thing from exploding?
 
Nvidia needs to hook me up with one of those $600 Titans

It seems like that your new card isnt under full load. So it has a lower temperature thus has a higher clock.(personal view) . Have you tried reinstall the software and the driver?(hope this will work)(sorry for my poor English)

Just for reference here's my score with pretty much the same system specs as the OP. 1080 Classified at stock + 6700K @4.5Ghz.

Go install the 375.95 Driver, it's the latest. Don't install the 375.90, it's been reported that the memory O/C's aren't running at what they should be.

3D mark's details say GPU was under 100% load during the graphics tests. Yeah I tried a clean install with the latest 4 nvidia drivers but the results were always the same. No idea why it's scoring so low.

Yeah that's how my last card was performing :/

Try with a lower VRAM OC. These 10 series cards appear to have an aggressive ECC and pushing the memory OC too far can negatively impact FPS (and benchmark scores).
 
Also know that certain windows updates can, and have in the past, reduced overall PC performance.

http://www.3dmark.com/fs/10794175 that's my last FSU bench, so i can't really see what you griping about lol ;)
 
try putting Phsyx to CPU might get you that extra points you seem to crave :D
 
 
i love sunday mornings
