Hello, I'm wondering if anyone could help me... I've ran Performance test and my Graphics card is coming back as performing even worse than lower grade graphics cards. Wondering why that is... I also have a lot of frame-rate dips whilst playing some games, they'll run 60fps (vSync enabled) but randomly stutter... Is this normal? Not a clue but it looks to me as their is something not quite right? :( Currently using a Sony Bravia 32" if that also helps.

my performace is 7450 but everything at stock was something close to yours. a bit more i guess but not more gpu performance, a bit more of the cpu. still i7 is a tad better on gaming.honestly your pc runs fine. that results are very good and keep in mind that the comparison is with a 4770k and a gtx titan! dont get stuck on one game performance.i have also encountered many games with good fps but no smooth gameplay with a lot of micro-stutter(lag).also if you try battlefield 4 use that utility to unpark the cores, you will be amazed!

Any idea as to what the problem could be? Only got this computer last week and I highly doubt those cards can out perform mine when I have practically the forth best GPU from nVidia.

first of all try not to overdo it with o/c cause you are probably running your psu on its limits.! gtx 770 installed on a system has a 42A on the 12v rail and a 600w psu recommendation.your corsair cx600 can give 44A on the rail and you have a power hungry cpu which is aready o/ced. monitor its condition under load! also monitor your cpu-gpu temps on idle and under load incase you have any overheat. and make sure you have the latest drivers. about the spikes it depends on the games you play.if they are multiplayer games, internet connection maybe responsible for the lags. also if on windows 7 lag can also exist in some games due to bad multicore-cpu utilization. an core unpark may reduce the lag dramatically. use this utility http://www.coderbag.com/Programming-C/Disable-CPU-Core-Parking-Utility on battlefield 4 does wonders!

I've already done a 2 hour prime 95 stress test and all is good. I only moved the volts of my cpu up a little like from 1.330 to 1.370, wanted a very stable over clock, could have gone higher but I know it's risky on my PSU. As for the spikes, they were mainly happening in Thief.. It'll be a stable 60 (vSync on) then it'll just jitter sometimes. I won't be overclocking my GPU past my GPU tweak settings. I have the latest nVidia drivers from nVidia experience, shown in the JPEG And I don't play many online games and I have very good broadband 60 download and 3 upload and I only used GPU tweak to see if it would boost it up, my cards coming underneath models that are 2 years old!? Like come on, seriously!? :(

a jitter sometimes doesnt mean you gpu has any problem. also as i read thief has a built in performance test.if you can do 60 then i cant see any problem. about the vsync when fps drop low the the refresh locks on 30 and not on 60 for a little time and locks back on 60 when fps raises again. try adaptive vsync or another setting and see what happens.also i would decrease or even disable antialiasing cause its really a performance killer even on capable machines.

Will do from now on. And also, do you know as to why my performance results are coming in lower than lower grade cards? That is the bit I'm most worried about, the fact I payed 240 for a card that's putting out the performance of half the price cards on benchmarks.

There's a picture I added to my first post, it has my results in 2D and 3D benchmarks vs other graphics cards. In the test it shows older and worse GPU's out besting mine. My pass rating in 2D is 638, which is bested by a Intel HD graphics 4000, a HD Radeon 6950 and a GTX 650. And in the 3D Benchmark the 680 scores 100% more than mine, like really... 100%? There has to be something wrong here?
