I just got my EVGA 980 Ti Classified from Newegg today, and I slapped it in my computer all excited and ready for some awesome gaming.
I immediately fired it up, started overclocking it, and decided to test it out in some games. However, I wasn't quite getting the performance I was expecting.
I decided to start up 3DMark Fire Strike and benchmark my system, and this is where my heart dropped.
Here is the link to my Fire Strike score. It's much lower than I was expecting, coming in at around 8300 total . This is far worse performance than the 2 970s I previously had (I decided to replace them due to overheating and space restrictions in my case). This score is including my overclocking (+450 GPU clock / +750 Mem clock).
Are these the kinds of scores I should expect from a card this high end? Or is there something wrong with my 980 Ti?
EDIT: Just for funsies, I decided to test out some less stressful games, and found out that PROJECT ZOMBOID is using between 45-60% of my GPU.
