I've been feeling like my 1080 doesn't give me the same performance I've seen others getting, I get FPS drops in games like GTA and even Dark Souls 3.

I recently ran a Furmark test so I could check it against others and it came back with a score of 4278 which seems low when comparing to other cards on the leader boards on their site:

http://www.geeks3d.com/20120413/furmark-opengl-benchmark-scores-comparative-chart

My other specs are:

CPU: i7 4790k
RAM: 16GB DDR3
PSU: EVGA Supernove 750
MOBO: MSI Z97 PC Mate

And I have an SSD HDD combo in terms of storage.

EDIT: I also just upped the resolution to 4k and ran the test again and got a score of 4161, so barely lost any frames going from 1080p to 4k, avg. 71 at 1080p and 69 at 4k.

This seems good at 4k but the 1080p performance seems way lower than it should be.

firestrike is about 13920 -14000 with my 980ti I get about 96 to 101 in heaven 4.0 nothing fancy all at stock with a non k I5 haswell

maybe best to look at the graphics score like here there still about 2200

my 980ti is showing at 19911 ?? see its a lot about the cpu in firestrike

so a 1080 doing 22250 aint much gain over my 980ti at 19911

[sorry I'm trying to keep up with the FSU/miss game ]

''I've seen others getting'' are they overclocking ? are they just full of crap ? arte they running the same build and all as you ? you got to take a lot of what they say with a grain of salt

just to add with a 10 series seems luck of the draw is more important then ever ?/ you may rma the card and get one that does worse or may get better ?? in the end all you can do is what you feel is best for you

True a lot of people lie (honestly never understood that) but I think I should be getting higher scores that a GTX 980 ti running a default clock speeds (second one down on the leaderboards).

maybe then maybe not ?? look how much a different cpu makes in the scores and all see you really don't know what they did to achieve there scores.

look over some of these threads on this


'' a Furmark test '' I found that test to be junk anyway use something poplar like mark 3d firestrike

shuda cuda wuda ? that one evga link shows a 980 ti with a better score but read whats said on that deal as well about the 3 test scores that make up the main score like that dr death pointed out .. his 980 ti showed lower 3 scores then the OP's 1080 but had a higher overall score ??

just to show how much faith there is in all that testing ??

I have a good amount of faith in Futuremark scores. Not so much other benchmarks.

Keep in mind, the Firestrike and Time Warp tests give a score for your CPU and GPU combined. Just focus on the graphics score for a GPU comparison.

Link your results, it gives good info on how your system compares to similar systems.
