Hi guys I iust built my new rig and usually I am the one helping people but I want to know what you think. My rig: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/6XjhYJ

Problem is that when I updated the drivers and everything I got a Fs score of 9600. I rebooted and got about 10050. I then OCed the GPU to the max it could go on the boost clock in gpu tweak. I am steady at about 1273 for base clock. Then I ran FS again and got 10549. Others were getting about 800 score higher with the same clock speed ish and same stats. This includes same GPu. Why is this? Yes I have all updated drivers.

Normal Firestrike for the 970 is around ~11K at stock and about ~13K when overclocked, so something isn't right here.

Do you have 3DMark on your SSD or HDD? Also, have you tried re-installing it?

Firestrike is on a hdd right now. The sad I put in my rig list will be here in 3 days. Highest score with my gpu and the 4790k was getting like 11.5k OCed /: go to FS and look at results and type in my CPU and my GPU. Hugest score I see is a windforce at 12053

I have a 4790K with an MSI 970 and it scores in the upper 11K at stock and I can get it to around 13.3K or so when overclocked.

You may want to try a different benchmark. Heaven or Valley should help you to compare results.

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/4409317? That is for FS. I went back home and overclocked the CPU a bit then I OCed the memory bus clock to 1832MHz.
I am probably going to run prime 95
