Titan not getting benchmark numbers

Hi,

My Titan is only getting 45-70 fps in most games (45fps in Crysis 3, 55fps in Skyrim with all visual mods), and nowhere near the reported 100+ FPS counts in online benchmarking tests. ie:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-titan-performance-review,3442-3.html

My setup:

- Gigabyte GTX Titan 6gb O'C edition
- I7 2600K (not overclocked)
with H90 cooler
- Corsair 1600 16gb RAM
- 500GB SSD
- Antec 1200w PSU
- Samsung 42" LED TV at 1080p, 60hz
- Asus 24" LCD monitor at 1080p, 60hz
(^I know I know, Titan is overkill for this, but I hope to get a 3 monitor, dual titan setup eventually)

Admittedly I'm running my games on ULTRA but:
I've turned off AA and Vsync.
Tried using the prepackaged OC Guru II and MSI Afterburner, I get artefacts or game crashes when I try to push the GPU clock close to 1200mv.

Still can't get the reported 100+fps on the majority of games. I could only do this on Deus Ex HR.
Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is anything in my setup a bottleneck?

Not sure how big of a difference this will make, but in the link you provided, the test setup is quite a bit different (Core I7 3970X OC'd to 4.5 GHz and an X79 motherboard) so be aware that you may not be able to get your rig to match its results.

If your games rely more on CPU than GPU power, that will make a big difference between your rig and the test rig, by virtue of the test rig being overclocked and having 2 more cores plus Hyperthreading available.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I've passed the 60fps barrier. Still not benchmark, I'm getting 60-80 fps in most games, 120+ in some.

- OC Guru II was NOT a friend to me. I used MSI Afterburner Beta v3.0 and was easily able to set the settings below:
mV: +34
Core: +495
Mem: +285
Fan: 60

- Finally successfully overclocked my CPU. My BIOS isn't the most straightforward to work with but the internet has saved me:

- My Samsung LED TV was giving me mouse lag. Unplugged cable from port HDMI-4 and plugged it into HDMI-1/DVI, then renamed input to 'PC'. Apparently this corrects the framerate. No more mouselag.

Thanks again for your attention :)
