Here's something that has me perplexed. When Haswell came out, I built a new rig with an i7 4770k and 2x GTX 770's. Originally, it had a the Arock Extreme3 board, but I decided that board was a bit limited and a little buggy, so I swapped it for an Asus Z87 Plus. Much happier with the Asus, but here's the weirdness:
While I still had the Asrock board, I achieved a stable 4.4GHz overclock and ran 3dmark. I got a 12286 on Fire strike (#1 w/my hardware
... now, On the Asus, I've got it stable at 4.5GHz, yet I'm achieving lower graphics scores (physics scores are slightly higher, due to higher OC I'm guessing) giving me a Fire Strike score of 11956.
I checked to make sure my cards were running at the same speeds for both tests, and they were. Literally the only difference is that the old test was on the Asrock board @ 4.4GHz, and the new test is on the Asus board @ 4.5GHz.
It's driving me nuts. Any ideas guys?
Thanks!!
