Yeah, my card is a dud.
If you're running similar clocks to others & not seeing similar scores, like I was, I'd highly recommend mercing your drivers. I went from the 461.09s to 461.40s, then back to the 457.51s, still got crappy scores, DDUed again, went back to the 461.40s, and finally got 15.4k with clocks that SHOULD be getting 15.4k (2160-2195MHz mostly through the test).
The one peaking part where PR is looking down at the ship & you're getting over 100FPS... if your clocks aren't working right and you're aiming for 15.4k, it'll bottom out at like 104-105FPS, if it's working the way it should, it will be way higher than that... I don't remember the exact number mine bottomed out at on that section, but it was several FPS higher. Wish I'd saved that run instead of just submitting it so I could look at the FPS numbers on it to know what to look for next time.
I still have no idea what I actually did to magically go from 14.9k to 15.4k with the exact same clocks etc, but somewhere along the way of repeatedly removing/cleaning & reinstalling different drivers etc, it happened...
