i just got the package, installed it, completely uninstalled driver (i had gtx 560) and downloaded the complete driver package, "clean" installed it, installed MetroLL from steam (latest version) but here is the benchmark results

Code:
Total Frames: 5510, Total Time: 179.586 sec
Average Framerate: 30.72
Max. Framerate: 143.88 (Frame: 4291)
Min. Framerate: 1.22 (Frame: 5051)

Benchmark Profile:
Code:
DirectX 11
1920x1080
Quality: Very High
Texture Filtering: AF 4x
Motion Blur: Normal
SSAA: On
Tesselation: Very High
NVidia PhysX: On
Scene: D6

Computer Specs:
AMD FX-8350
Gigabyte 990XA-UD3 motherboard
2x4gb Gskill Ripjaws DDR3 1333 ram
Corsair VS650 PSU

on idle: GPU TEMP:36-40 C
no overclock, ASUS DirectCU II OC GTX770 4GB

When I check online even 2560x1440 has more FPS (average of 67-68)

94-99 GPU, %48-50 Metro CPU (total of %60-65 CPU) total of %47 Memory

p.s. i tried battlefield 4 on Test Range and i can get 70-80 fps as i expected on ultra (resolution %100) but i cannot predict multiplayer performance

edit: i noticed that shadowplay is NOT working on Metro (works on Battlefield 4) and also i can see some kind of visual corruption when benchmarking with this profile:

My mobo is win 8 certified.

Anyway i updated bios using official gigabyte bios tool, using its own internal update tool, now windows refuses to start, auto diagnose is cannot fix, i am refreshing pc atm, if it will not work i will format my pc, then i will re-check my gpu...

You are probably right. Ayway refresh worked, but all my games etc were deleted, so i am using acronis backup and restore to return it to yesterday's settings and files, hopefully bios update will work this time. (Since bios update is not and cannot be in acronis backup)

Edit: acronis sucks. I cant even go back to refreshed one now, it just fu*ked my hdd... I am formatting now...

I seriously fucked up now. Windows setup does not see my ssd's main partition (but it sees "system reserved" partion which is 200 mb) and it gives multiple errors (bios is set to ahci mode);

Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style.

Windows cannot be installed on this disk. Setup does not support configuration of or installation to disks connected through a USB or IEEE 1394 port.

Windows cannot be installed on this disk. The partition is an EFI system partition (ESP).

Windows cannot be installed on this disk.this computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enqbled in the computer's BIOS menu.

Edit: fixed it, now installing a fresh win 8.1. I hope it will work now

i have found out that my gpu fans are not going up more than %65 when it is set to auto, and when i tested with Valley Benchmark same thing happened twice when it reached 79 degrees. i am trying to set fan curve now
 
Report back with results. It very well maybe the gpu. That seems odd ur temps are that high........Im not super familiar with cards other than evga so I maybe wrong but even for 65% fan speed those temps seem very high. The asus cooling has been compaired to the acx cooling so in that aspect it should be keeping similar temps. My 780ti fan usually sits at highest 60% fan speed when under full load gaming and never goes above 65 degrees. That just seems rather high. However if your fan curve is not very agressive I guess I could see it getting that warm.......maybe try using evga precision x software for doing fan curves and what not. I love evga precision x over any other gpu software on the nvidia side.

It is no use, i changed it, gpu temp is no more than 70 now but vram temperature is 94+. I think that is the reason. Sent a mail to the seller for a replacement. I am %90 sure that the card is defected %10 power issues (i have 650 watt corsair psu and both power leds are green)

Btw it is an asus directcuii oc gtx770 4gb

I will, an same here, that is why i purchased it. I could by gigabyte or msi but heard that asus cooler is better both for performance and noise. But getting 94+ vram temp, it makes me question my choice. But i think it will beok when i get another one for replacement
