About a couple weeks ago, my GTX 770 was under performing and scoring about 4700 in the benchmark test when it should have been around 6500.

The issue was resolved by switching from power saver mode to maximum performance mode.

Now, even in maximum performance mode, my GTX 770 is under performing again and is scoring around 4700.

The only thing that has changed in the past couple weeks was updating my Graphics Drivers.

I did a System Restore back to when my graphics card was scoring 6500 ( older drivers ) and it didn't help at all. I was still getting 4700.

I've defragged my computer, disk clean up, air dust the inside, ran Microsoft Security Essentials... nothing seems to be helping my performance.

Before I pull out my graphics card and try benchmark on a different computer, can somebody tell me what I could be missing?

my spec:
CPU: Intel i5-4670k
MB: MSI Z87 - G43 Gaming
MEM: G.Skill Ripjaws X series 8 GB
Stor: 1TB Blue Cavier WD 7200 RPM
GC: Asus GeForce GTX 770 2GB
PS: Corsair CX600 Watt
OS: Windows 7 64 bit

Thanks

your gpu power limit is set at 79% , so either the gpu is faulty, or you have somehow lowered the power limit without realizing, everything else is normal, and i have no way to tell the settings you used for the benchmark (if it was 1080p extreme preset than your card is doing great)

My computer temperature was around 66-68.
 
well that link doesnt work, and computer temp tells me nothing. it is either CPU temp, or GPU temp, but it sounds like the gpu is throttling OR you've turned up a setting on your original benchmark and not realized it. if it is throttling, but not getting over 80c, then return it or RMA it from whoever you bought it from

Hmm that's weird. How about this one..

I used a MSI Afterburner to monitor my GPU, RealTime to monitor my CPU, while running Valley Benchmark on Ultra Settings, and this is what I got.. http://i.imgur.com/rHhRr3E.png?1
