Is this a bad score for an i5-4690 and MSI 980Ti on 3D Mark FIrestrike? If you own a 980Ti please help :(

Solution
Never played FO4, but you got me curious. It seems like a lot of people have the exact same experience, even with Titan X cards and oc'd 6700k's. Fixes ranged from vsync settings (which also alters gamespeed) to overclocking RAM, forcing windowed borderless mode, to mods that dynamically alter shadow distance and quality settings based on fps targets. Everything seems to revolve around the number of objects onscreen, and the GPU and CPU bogging down trying to load data, not the actual processing.

Oh, and it looks like a patch for Fallout was just released 2 days ago, but of course it comes with it's own new bugs too.

The only game and the only game i ever have trouble with is Fallout 4. I have Uninstalled the game completely, have the newest drivers, even formatted my SSD and reinstalled Windows 10 and i still get 20-40FPS on Fallout 4 at 720p and 1080p when all settings are as high as they go. As for every other game, i get the exact same FPS ad others who do videos of their Performance with an i5-4690 and 980Ti. I have not found a game i get bad or worse FPS than what i should exept for fallout 4 and i hate it cause its my favorite game with only The Elder Scrolls beationg it. I mean i can play Witcher 3 at 1440p with every possible setting on Ultra even Hairworks x8 and get 60FPS or more yet Fallout 4 looks like trash and kills my FPS. My GPU never goes past 60% ususally on fallout 4 and none of the 4 cores on my CPu are past 70% on the game. I also dont use more than 2-3GB of VRAm and around 4GB of ram. I have 16GB of RAM.

It turns out where i use MSI Afterburner it makes 3D Mark read my cards Core and memory clock as 800MHz when its really Idk why. I also have it overclocked to 1520MHz with my Overclock and i get a somewhat higher score but the score i posted wat stock speed so i could compare to others. Thanks man! :)
 
According to a quick google, Fallout 4 does seem sensitive to memory speeds. So if your memory really is running at 800MHz that could be the problem. Others have said that Vsync is capping them around 30fps if it thinks they're connected to a tv as opposed to a computer monitor. Something to do with the console version maybe? Finally, someone else said that turning down Godrays made a huge difference when they switched from an AMD to an Nvidia card.

I have Godrays off and it changes nothing. THe only thing that kills my FPS is Shadow DIstance and i have edited it to be on Super low by changing it in the ini files making it 1000 and i only get BAD fps when i am in my settlments for some reason :(
