Bottleneck Suspicion for GTX 770

Hello,

I've had my Gigabyte GTX 770 4gb model for almost a year now. I have noticed I am not getting the same FPS or benchmark scores as others with this card lately, and am thinking it is due to a bottleneck somewhere.

Here is the exact card I have:

GIGABYTE GV-N770OC-4GD GeForce GTX 770 4GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready WindForce 3X 450W Video Card (I have overclocked it by 50mhz gpu clock offset, and 233mhz mem clock offset in EVGA precision).

Other specs worth noting:

CPU: Intel i7 4770k 3.5 Ghz (stock, never over clocked though will be soon)
Heatsink: Corsair H100i
PSU: Rosewill Fortress Platinum 750 watt continuous
RAM: G-Skill Ripjaws 16gb (8x2) 1333mhz

My nvidia control panel settings are as follows:

Ambient Occlusion: Quality
Anisotopric Filtering: Application Controlled
Antialiasing - FXAA: Off
Antialiasing - Gamma Correction: On
Antialiasing Mode: Application Controlled
Antialiasing Transparency: 8x (supersample)
CUDA - GPUs: All
Maximum Pre-rendered Frames: Use the 3d application setting
Multi-display GPU Acceleration - Single display performance mode
Power management mode: Prefer maximum performance
Shader Cache - On
Texture Filtering Anisoptropic sample optimization.. : off
Texture filtering - negative LOD bias : Clamp
Texture filtering - quality : Quality
Texture filtering - trillinear optimization : On
Threaded optimization: Auto
Triple buffering: On
Vertical sync - Adaptive

At first look, I think it's the ram speed, but I have read it shouldn't affect performance that much. The cores weren't parked on the CPU. I have high performance mode enabled in the Nvidia control panel. Now, I am getting smooth 60 fps in World of Warcraft and other games run smooth. I do notice drops now and then in other games. On the Heaven benchmark I am only seeing scores in the 700 to 800 range while others online have posted at least 1000.

If you see anything wrong with the above or recommend any settings I can try out, please let me know. Thanks.

There's no bottleneck...

There's no bottleneck that you should worry about. It's just settings. If you are bench-marking, you need to take the bolded settings to the opposite, and especially turn off that Antialiasing Transparency. The rest of your system is fine.
