I have a GTX 680 overclocked, and when I run Heaven with everything maxed out at 1080P, I am only getting a score of 950. My max fps are 60, and it's been steady at 38 fps. I have Tessellation on extreme. I see most people benchmark with these settings, and get scores well over 1200. I have even lowered the overclock on the card. My system specs are:

Crosshair V Formula-Z overclocked to 4.5GHZ. 32GB Ram. Noctua NH-D14 Heatsink. Windows 8.1 64 bit. GTX-680. Any suggestions on how to get better performance?

Thanks

Yes according to what i've seen from similar setups. Some reports without saying anything more should be taken with a grain of salt.

1.well i didn't know that you knew that.

2.i can't answer that. Those with your setup genuinely report as aforementioned.
I wouldn't be calling them on their reports but you need to see what is written for yourself.
 
1500 heaven score for any 680/770/7970ghz is not going to happen running maxed settings @ 1080p unless you are under water with the right model card doing an extreme overclock suicide run. they are using different settings to get that high of a score. for comparison… max tess 8xaa 1080p for my 780@1300ghz gets 1677 score.

you should use one of the presets that black out the settings so you know there are no changes and then compare. heaven only has a max preset for 1600x900 windowed. unigine valley has a 1080p full screen preset though.
