Ok.. I'm kinda freaking out.. been trying to figure this out all day.

I am getting horrible scores on my new Gigabyte GTX 770 OC 4GB. So much so that my 2 year old GTX 570 is actually destroying it in 3DMark 13

I am running two systems.

System #1:
i5 2500k stock!
Asus P8p67 pro
1x 570 GTX Factory OC

320.14:

http://www.3dmark.com/fs/576389

System #2
i5 2500k 4.5ghz OC
Asus P8P67 Deluxe
1x 770 GTX 4GB Factory OC

320.18: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/819708

As you can see the gtx 570 is actually doing better without any cpu overclock!

The contraversial 320.18 drivers have been performing well on my 770 btw.

I have a 1000w PSU. If you compare my specs with the leading specs I can't see anything wrong with mine.. at 4.5ghz and the 770 hovering around 1250mhz I don't understand why I'm so much below average. The only thing that is different from most systems in the above average tiers is the ram.. I have 16gb of 1333 ram and most other systems only have 4gb. Is this it? If not.. then why is my card doing so badly?

Any help is appreciated

According to the links you posted, you were running two 570's in SLi. Those two together should be performing better than a single 770, I would imagine. So there isn't anything wrong here.

darn.. sorry! I posted the wrong links. I did indeed have a SLI 570 setup but then I removed one of the cards and ran the benchmarks again. Although I ran them using a beta driver so it's not considered a valid result on 3dmark. I've edited the first post so you can see the results.

In any case though.. I am equally concerned by the single 570 beating the 770's scores as I am by the 770's score being much below average the other 770 scores with identical specs and overclocks...

Well, I'm gonna try running 3dMark and see what I get. I also have a 770 and I'll see what I get.

Also, don't really know if I'm looking at it right, but your results show that your ram is clocked at 667 Mhz which doesn't seem right. Do you know why it says that?

Well here's my run on 3dMark: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/828764?

I got a much higher score than you did and I honestly don't know why you are receiving such a low score. How is your performance in actual games?

P.S.: My ram shows up at the same clock speed. Must be a glitch.

Wait, a minute....Your physics scores for your run with the 770 was much lower and that is the reason you had such a low score compared to your 570. Your graphics score alone are quiet different and very similar to my results. Were you running your 2500k overclocked for the 570 and not the 770?

I can't believe I didn't see that before.

The system that ran the 570 was not overclocked at all, and the one with the 770 was OCd to 4.5ghz. I noticed that too.. but even the graphics score itself (for ice storm at least) is about HALF of what it should be on a 770. Read below to see what I mean.

I wish I had figured this out but alas I haven't. I thought maybe it was the adaptive power management but after I switched it to "best performance" it didn't fix it.

I also noticed I was on the power saver plan but after changing it back to the balanced/performance plan it also didn't fix it.

Then I thought maybe it was the dedicated physx gtx 460 that was at cause but after changing it so it used the CPU it didn't fix it. I kept getting really bad scores doing bad on both the graphics and physics tests in 3Dmark 13.

Finally I decided to create a new windows partition and do a dual boot. I decided I'd make a windows 7 boot dedicated to gaming. First thing I did after installing the mobo drivers was to install 320.18 and 3dmark and sure enough this gave me the results I hoped for:

I don't know why it won't work well on my other windows installation.. maybe the drivers are not installed properly. Maybe it's one of the dozens of background processes I have running. I wish I knew.

Also having similar problem. My new gtx770 manages to pull a massive 10 frames better than the gtx570. Both gigabyte cards. Windows 8.1. Only thing I changed was which card was in the slot.

Have you figured it out yet?.. if you right click your desktop and select screen resolution.. select the highest setting your monitor will allow.. I score 4k difference from 1920x1080 vs 5760x1050... higher resolution forces video output!.. and better scores.
