4770k on Asus Maximus VI Hero, 1603 bios, EVGA 1070 SC, 16Gb TridentX 2400.
Total of about 12 runs before the Win10 1803 update, average ~106k.
After 1803, roughly 10 runs average 97k.
After 1803, I used DDU to uninstall graphics drivers, updated to latest, still averaging 97k.
The only possibility I came up with was that Haswell was impacted harder by the Meltdown/Spectre patches (my bios is a couple years old, but the latest on the ASUS website for my board...so no firmware/bios spectre mitigations).
Any thoughts?
