CPU: Intel 4770 i7
Board: gigabyte z87-d3hp


I used performance test 8.0 as a benchmark test for my cpu... as far as i remember, the first time I tested it its score ranked 2nd only to the i7-3770k

now, after i installed my gts 450 card.. it gives out a miserable score of 4199, it scored around 9k the last time.
Therefore falling behind i7 3720qm = 8303 and i7 920 = 5431


any thoughts on this?
