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/9394581
Drop 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...

Roll back your drivers.

So, I rolled back to 368.81 and I got the below:

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?

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...
