Im really not sure what your confused about??? Sometimes there is more to it than finding the higest speeds you can bench at there are different performance gates for every gpu. For instance on my card I benched it at 1060\1300 and then kept pushing the core clock. My vantage scrore did not increase untill I hit 1170\1300, and I benched in incriments of ten. So what I am saying is your gpu might not like those settings. When your in gpuid check your temps and set it to max values and see where your at. If any of the numbers start to creep over 70 then theres your bottleneck espeacially your vddc phase temps.

Not sure what the weather is like in washington but I doubt that your temps are lower at 1.446vcore than they are at 1.247 one of the pics you showed your max temps were above 80 on all cores

voltage control how your card works....

oh yea and 21467 isnt a bad score for your first week with the card by any means, you should enter it

I was referring to my GPU temps. And I learned awhile back that higher clocks doenst necessarily mean higher scores.

But here is where things get weird. After I ran that 4.4ghz test, I dropped my Bclk to 191 (4ghz) and kept all the CPU\Mobo voltages the same, exited out of all the same programs\etc, I didnt even restart my computer.

My CPU score went down like it normally would, but my GPU score (same clocks\voltage) went up 1000 points to where it was in my orginal test

Ive never seen the Bclk effect the GPU score so much.

Im running Vantage at stock CPU speeds right now, ill see what kind of score I get with that.

EDIT:

My GPU score was 19651, which is ~100 points higher than the 4.4ghz test, but still well below what the 4.0ghz test is.

and buy your dropping the bclk, you took the voltage strain off of one of the other voltages which allowed the gpus to go back to their performance rating.....

some thing has changed in your system...you just havent found what it is yet.

could be something like superfetch running.

Well I ran the test with stock CPU clock and got the same "crappy" GPU score.

I think im going to try a different PCIE slot.

Naa...Boston too far.


this is the closest you get to EVGA.  your an hour farther then me i think?

and what is superfetch??

Superfetch helps SuperPi scores, mostly 32m. Not sure how well it works with Wprime\PiFast

Yea, probably an hour more...get to 95 and go straight up.  Or 287 up into NY state, cross over the Tappen Zee, go up 684, then take 84 across.

Looks like tix are sold out for Saturday...only Friday & Sunday.

But, too short notice for me....I'd have to plan this type of event a few months in advance with my schedule.

you need months notice?  your that busy?  wow.

Never heard of super fetch.  is it a windows thing?
