Is my 780ti under performing?
Hello I have a reference Galaxy GTX 780ti. Are these benchmarks up to par?
All benchmarks are 1920x1080

With Unigine Heaven all maxed out with max 8xAA I got a score of 1486

With 3dMark FireStrike extreme preset I got this

If possible, try pushing it a little further to 4.5 GHz or even 4.7. If that doesn't help, you might as well just look at the aspect of upgrading your CPU, unless you wanna push it to 5 GHz.

I overclocked my CPU to 4.2 GHZ. I'm noticing a very small increase. What should I suspect at this point?
its less then 5% of an increase if even that.

It depends on the amount you overclock it by. Your processor runs at 3.3 GHz stock, so you should start seeing serious improvement by 4 GHz.

How much of an increase should I see if i overclock my CPU a bit.

Get a decent cooler and overclock that 2500k, you should see better results


Yes this could be a decent alternative. You can check out the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo, which is about the most recommended budget CPU cooler on the market, and you can get some serious overclocking done with that bad boy.

Yes i agree with pcgaming98, this will most likely be the case..

The Core i5 2500k might be bottlenecking it a little bit. I would take this with a grain of salt though since the Core i5 is a very powerful processor, but the 2500k is a bit old, and the 780 Ti is a really high end graphics card, so it might require a more powerful processor such as the Core i5 4670k to allow it to run at its fullest potential.
