I just built a computer with the following specs
i7 4790k
Gigabyte GTX 980 ti G1
250gb ssd
3TB HDD
750w EVGA G2 PSU
6 12v Fans
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
MSI Z97A Gaming 7
Windows 10 and now 8.1
16gb 1600 RAM Trident X

some games arent getting the fps I thought they would get. I checked and my Firestrike scores all check out but i was wondering if you could see if these in game stats look correct

Yeah, it looks normal but you're probably in just regular mode, it's 1151Mhz which is what's showing on gpuz. There are three modes on that card, you access using their software oc guru...regular, gaming and the other is overclocked.

That's gaming mode first and one in parentheses is oc mode

BASE: 1178 MHz / BOOST: 1329 MHz(1203/1354 MHz in OC Mode)

You could just overclock yours through msi afterburner to the base clock of 1203Mhz and/or higher and it would be the same thing. Should help performance some.

That asic score is low but you can still try and overclock to at least what the card is guaranteed to perform at, which is their overclock mode at 1203Mhz base clock speed. Download MSI afterburner and install it, it's a tool similar to oc guru but works with all cards. Increase the power limiter to 110% and slide the core clock over to +50Mhz or so, that should increase it to around 1200Mhz...make sure you hit apply and then go run benchmark to make sure it's stable.

You should be able to go quite a bit higher with that card and you can try, it wont hurt it, try increasing it by 100Mhz...that puts you about average overclock...1250 Mhz base.

so what do you have your 980 ti overclocked to normally?
I dont want to do tons of overclocking and a 15% restocking fee on this card is massive so do you think i should keep it and what i should i overclock it at for a balance of performance and safety of the gpu

I've been running it around 1250Mhz base for my everyday thing. I have 1205 Mhz profile too which seems to be still pretty good in performance. I think anywhere in that range is good and wont hurt it or anything.

I think if you can get anywhere in the range that the card is supposed to get, which is a 1203 base clock and if you can get it to 1250 on the base clock, I think it would be fine to keep. They shouldn't charge you that fee though if it is not performing right?
