Gtx 590 3Dmark 11 score

Most scores in their database are a mix of overclocked and extremely overclocked systems. In order to get an average score, you'd have to overclock a lot.

Some of the reasons for this is that up today drivers will cause most scores to be excluded. Only drivers that are certified by Futuremark are stored and these drivers are usually 2-3 months old. This means that those wanting to save a score, probably due to a very high scoring, heavily overclocked system, will use old drivers, where most people won't and not get their score saved. And most 3dmark users are power users who usually overclock their systems.

That score is normal. It takes a very large overclock just to score average.

Anyway, you shouldn't pay attention to scores, but to results in actual applications, like games.
Your system is great, and should keep you OK with most demanding games over the next year or more.

Don't worry I have an Asus gtx 590 with a 1090t @4ghz with 8 gb 1333 xms3 ram and my scores are right with yours. It told me the same thing on 3dmark11 and vantage and i worried but after alot of research i found that there are indeed a variety of mixed scores like already stated. Yours is right in the normal and I do not recommend overclocking it as I did and I ended up some how breaking the damn thing..luckily i sent an rma request and asus approved it and im waiting for it now and wont get to see it for another week or so.  

They are a little low.... the 590 should score around 9500-10500.
