I received my Alienware Aurora R6 today and I wanted to run something to check if the performance is okay.

This is the benchmark I've gotten after running it 3 times (tried several things like disabling G-Sync and changing my power plan to high performance but it remained consistent so I'm only posting one of the images)

I've been seeing other results for this, on the same settings, but they all seem to score higher by a several hundreds (2700-3100 is what I've been seeing)

I have it set to Alienware's level 2 overclock
Edit: 4.7 GHz on the CPU

There is some text at the top right corner of the screen in Unigine Heaven
(I don't quite understand what the numbers mean)

GeForce GTX 1080
Graphics: 1911 Mhz
Memory: 5005 Mhz
Temperature: 84c

I just want to know if my card is defective, I have reason to suspect it as there was an initial problem with the order and the delivery date changed multiple times. Thanks for any help

It's hard to compare really.

I wouldn't compare your PC to mine as it wouldn't be fair, yeah I have an I7 7700K and GTX 1080 also, but I build my own PC's.

But mine...

That's a relief to hear.

What are the main reasons possible for my lower scores compared to others of similar builds?
The link is to a post for the GTX 1080, and as far as I know there are no major differences among the different GTX 1080 models.

There are some people with scores like this and this getting higher scores than me, for example.

But mine is running at 4.8 GHz and my GTX 1080 is an EVGA FTW2 that has faster clock speeds and boost than your card.

In other words don't worry about it, just enjoy your new system.

Alright, I guess it's still pretty good anyway, thanks for the replies :)
