So me and a friend both bought new computers. Overall the specs are very similar except for 2 things. First of all he got an I7 and i got an i5. Second off we both got 780's but he got the Evga classified and i got the Palit jet stream. On comparison between these cards there seems to be little difference and yet when we both run 3dmark 11 i get roughly 1000 less score on graphics. This seems to be to big of a different between very similar cards.
In an effort to find the problem i decided to overclock my card. I got it up to 150mhz+ core speed and it was stable so i ran the benchmarks again. My second scores obviously improved to 8863 which is an improvement but still not reaching the 9200 score that my friends card is getting (without overclock).
We are both running the same graphics drivers and have more or less the same computer. I am fairly confident that my CPU i5-4670 is not creating a bottleneck.
I cant think of any reason why these two cards would be so different even after what i think is a pretty big overclock.
For your reference.

Also i should mention that while the Palit jetstream specs say the boost clock is 954 when i use software like Kombuster etc it shows up at 1045mhz which is more or less identical to the classified (1046). I no that these aren't the only specs on the cards but the others also seem to be more or less identical.
I have searched through forums for hours trying to figure this out...Is it possibly ive got a dodgy card ?
