My stock Windforce gtx 770 (came with oc) was getting a stable 975(ish) in Unigene Heaven, and I gave it a slight, non voltage oc up to about 1015 score and 1280 clock speed. After a few crashes I got it stable, but removed the oc and updated my bios. After this, my stock score want break 960, and overclock won't break 1000! I tried driver sweep, gpu reinstallation ect. I should also mention that my lower fps was raised, but average lowered. Is this normal? Could I have damaged my gpu? Thanks!!

PC performance isn't somthing that is "bulletproof", so the score can variate a little bit in every benchmark. Could you state your speccs?

Motherboard, gpu, cpu, ram and psu will do.

Also, is it the 2gb or 4gb version of the 770 that you have?

Just did a Unigine Heaven 4.0 benchmark on one of my pc's that has a overclocked Gainward gtx 770 Phantom gpu, and i scored 1220 at Extreme Preset.

Min fps: 23
Max fps: 114
Average fps: 49

So i'm guessing you have a bottleneck in your system, seing as with overclocking you normally should be able to reach the same score.

2gb version with an evga 600w psu. 8 gigs 1600 corsair vengeance (1330 MHz in bios), i5 4570, and asrock h87 mobo. Is this more likely a driver/ bottleneck than physical damage to the gpu? All of my temps have been under 70 as well.

Why have you set the ram to run at 1330 when you don't have an unlocked cpu for overclocking? If there's not a special reason for this the reset it to 1600mhz.

Also,
- Download MSI Afterburner, and set it to display to gpu % usage on the monitor when in fullscreen.
- Use "Geforce Experience" to install the latest Beta driver.
- The Gigabyte gtx 770 windforce OC card you have is already factory overclocket close to the max that is stabile when it comes to coreclock / boostclock. The only thing you could do is leave the voltage as stock and increase the memoryclock, personally i'v increased it by 350 giving me a total of 7.7 GB/s memory-clockspeed.


After you have done all this, then run the benchmark again at "Extreme Preset" (give it 1-3 runs) and post the results.

1330 was the auto setting. I will change it to 1600, use afterburner to check the usage, and run it a few times when I get home. It will be a couple I hours but I will be sure to posts the results!

Good, i'll most likely still be up unless we'r talking like 6-8 hours. ;)
The 770 i have is the 4gb version, but that shouldn't matter seing as Heaven 4.0 only uses about 1.2gb on Extreme Preset 1080p. And the core / boost clock your card has is the exact same as i'm running my 770 at. Meaning the only difference would be that i have overclocked to 7.7 GB/s memory-clockspeed instead of the 7.0 GB/s that is stock.

Sounds great! I just realized that I may have to clear the "CMOS" because of the bios update i did. Could this have anything to do with the performance? I don't know how to do this by the way...

Motherboard; and alright, that makes sense. My cpu runs very well and cool. My benchmark max is around 85 fps and min 20, but the average/score is lower than yours. We well see if what you suggested does the trick

I updated the beta driver, increased ram speed, and monitored the gpu percentage. The first test my max fps jumped up to 190! but the scores actually dropped to about 935 and the other tests went back to max 85 min 20. I cant figure out what is hindering my gpu!!!

Since i had already fired up the pc that has the 770 in it, and i'm waiting for you to do what we discussed earlier. I figured i'd play around a little more with the overclocking, just for fun and see if i could get it to perform even better while being stabile.

Currently running stabile with:

- Coreclock: 1137MHz
- Boostclock: 1176MHz
- Memoryclock: 3845MHz

Giving it:

- Graphics speed: 1293MHz - 1.3GB/s
- Memory speed: 7690MHz - 7.7GB/s



Unigine Heaven 4.0 - Extreme:
Score: 1267
Min fps: 25.6
Max fps: 122.1
Average fps: 50.3

I don't understand what is holding my card back from similar performance. What do you think, it could be?

I doubt you're still up, but I actually don't have one! I really appreciate that your willing to help, but idk what another efficient means of communication would be. I'm starting to think it may just be the test, because I just purchased bf4, and its running at 60- 100 fps without issue, but my heaven score is still terribly low! Do you suggest an alternative benchmarking tool? other than 3d mark that is. (I used up my demo I believe)

Personally i use:
- Unigine Valley 1.0
- Unigine Heaven 4.0
- 3Dmark11 (i'v bought the full version)

So i suggest that you start using "Unigine Valley 1.0" from now on, and run it using the "Extreme HD" preset.


Besides software / game settings, there is 1 more way to affect graphic quality and performance. And that is using the "3D Settings" in the Nvidia Controlpanel.



Set you settings like this before benchmarking:

- Acceleration with multiple monitors / Gpu types: Performance mode for 1 monitor

- Anistropic filtering: Off

- Anti aliasing - FXAA: Off

- Anti aliasing - gammacorrection: Off

- Anti aliasing - transparency: Off

- Anti aliasing - setting:

- Anti aliasing mode: Off

- CUDA - GPUs: All

- Maximum predefined images: Use setting for 3D software

- Ambient lighting: Performance

- Shader-cache: On

- Power management mode: Max performance

- Texture filtering - anistropic texture optimization: Off

- Texture filtering - quality: High performance

- Texture filtering - negative detail (LOD): Allow

- Texture filtering - trilineage optimization: On

- Triple buffering: On

- Thread optimization: On

- Vertical Sync: Off



Now this is the settings i use normally - For gaming:

- Acceleration with multiple monitors / Gpu types: Performance mode for 1 monitor

- Anistropic filtering: 16x

- Anti aliasing - FXAA: On

- Anti aliasing - gammacorrection: On

- Anti aliasing - transparency: 8x (Supersampling)

- Anti aliasing - setting: 32x CSAA

- Anti aliasing mode: Improve program setting

- CUDA - GPUs: All

- Maximum predefined images: Use setting for 3D software

- Ambient light dependent: Quality

- Shader-cache: On

- Power management mode: Max performance

- Texture filtering - anistropic texture optimization: On

- Texture filtering - quality: High quality

- Texture filtering - negative detail (LOD): Allow

- Texture filtering - trilineage optimization: On

- Triple buffering: On

- Thread optimization: On

- Vertical Sync: On

Thanks for the detailed list! I'm actually just going to stick with your gaming configuration because that's what this pc is built for (gaming, not testing), but I want to use benchmarks to ensure I am getting at least suitable performance. I just installed Valley and will run it in one moment. Also I used "PassMark" and my GPU scored right along all of the other gtx 770's tested in the 3D benchmark. For this reason I believe any issues are elsewhere. What do you think? Thanks again for all of the help, man.

My Valley score was an 1876, which seems much more up to par with others I have seen.

Yeah, that seems to be a decent score for a 770. Well, glad to hear that you are happy with the game performance and feel free to mail me in here if you have any other questions later. :)

PS: remember to mark the case "solved". So others don't waste time on a problem that is no longer there. ;)
