Hi,
Guys I'm stuck badly here. Plz help me.
Continuing on with this post (http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2042865/gigabyte-gtx-770-2gd-overclocking.html), I've got serious doubts that my card is performing to its full potential.
The reason behind this tentative conclusion is that while attempting to OC the card, I figured out that it was clearly not reaching the power and temperature thresholds I set (not even close to the mark of temp. throttling). Many of the scenes in Unigine Valley ran at mere 30fps even at a stable +70 core offset (on top of 1137 base/default). I don't have any problems thinking that this is the maximum OC I could get out of my card, but the issue is that the temperature never even reaches 70C (way below the limit I set, i.e. 95C), which could most definitely be due to the fact that the TDP never crosses ~83%. I don't understand how to make it utilize the power/temp. limits properly.
This whole thing reminded me of the many instances some months back, when some games had kept freezing (without any OC) with me having no clue as to why. Some notable names are Resident Evil 5 (random freezing/crashing), Bioshock 1 (mostly at weapons and plasmid menu) and of course 2007's Crysis (random freezing/crashing and especially at the last boss enemy scene, which indeed seemed like an immensely graphics intensive part). I believe this exactly would've been the case where my GPU might not be able to push itself properly and started freezing like crazy. Techpowerup review shows 63.4fps average (1920x1080 - 4xAA) in Crysis while I clearly remember my 770 stuck at ~50 (same settings as techpowerup) almost all the time!!! This is crazy really.
I'm in need of some urgent help guys. Really appreciate any suggestions/guidance.
Thanks very much in advance.

. It's been 7 months since the purchase. Wouldn't have found out if I didn't attempt OC'ing.
