Yes thats fine?
3dMark 11 really shouldn't be the deciding factor of whether or not a card is good or not.
As long as your frames are good and you aren't having artifacting/tearing/heat issues your card is working fine.
I think 14000 is way to low compared to those who have over 16000 on stock =(
I don't have artifacts. In BF3 single player on maxed out and 1920X1200 59hz I am getting around 95-105fps while in multi player (64player server ) from 60 to 130 it's not constant and sometimes drops down to 45 fps. I was expecting more from 1000$ vid. card
And first time I installed it I had problems with turning multi-GUP on (latest official released Nvidia drivers) , I couldn't do so - my second GPU was idle and i was getting 15fps in games, then I reinstalled new,latest unreleased drivers and after i did that finally I was able to run it in dual-GPU mode.
