Hey all,
 
As the thread title suggests, I am after some Firestrike Extreme results.  At the present time, I am only running on one 980TI.  My second doesn't show until Friday.  My system specs are in my signature (Note: my CPU is clocked at 4.4-4.5 ghz).
 
With all that said, I have been running some benchmarks on this card.  Firestrike Extreme is yielding a 8020 on my 980TI while my GTX 970 FTW+ is 10157.  Now, I am not one to harp on numbers and such, but that kind of confused me just a bit.  The AISC of my 980TI is 70.6. 
 
Is this a case of silicon lottery, drivers not being fully optimized, or?

Normal Firestrike = 16,028

Normal Firestrike = 16,028

Single Card Nice Score.

my titan x pulled a 8125 on fire strike extreme, a 4132 on fire strike ultra and 14214 on fire strike normal

Your Titan is stock clocks then?

I think you guys might be right.  In looking at my spreadsheet of benchmarks over the last few cards I have put into systems around my house an those I have just tested, I realized I did a pretty poor job on accurately tracking the 970's and 960's as far as games settings and resolutions go.  I believe the results I was looking at was normal firestrike and my firestrike extreme results for the 970's was performed when I had SLI setup.  Seems we don't have any issues with those numbers.  I wasn't super concerned as Witcher 3, Heaven, Metro Benchmark (I only had time for a few tests last night) looked good especially on a single 980TI with every possible setting maxed out.  I will do some more single card benchmarking and then do it all over again in SLI when the second card shows tomorrow.
 
I appreciate the responses.
Thanks

I will try tomorrow when my second card arrives and I will see what sli does. For now, I am going to keep on trucking along with single 980ti benchmarks for another night.

Thanks.
