Have you over clocked your card at all, because I got a big jump when I did. And which fire strike did you do.

Also are you running Extreme or normal FS? If it's extreme then it's probably about right. I have a 980 and get around mid 7K

ive just done firestrike extreme and got a score of 3779

Edit: does it make a difference what monitor im on because im on a rog swift

What temps are you getting on the card, run afterburner or something to record what your card is doing during the runs.

Hmmm my 760 does a score of 5972 on the normal Firestrike test. On ultra it doesn't even do 900 (887). Doesn't sound like the 780 Ti is on a 'something is broken' level of low, but it's also not high at all considering the card that it is.

From your specs nothing seems out of the ordinary and when I check the Nvidia page it seems you're running the latest drivers?

10.18.13.5850

Have you tried an earlier driver?
What other expansion cards do you use in which slots?

 

[barnsley]

I think something isn't right with your GPU drivers. I've compared it with my result (both cpu and GPU at stock, although i've only taken graphical scores into account) and something is a bit off.What are the temperatures for the gpu under load like?

 

[crap-at-games]

Hi Feronix ive got no other cards in any expansion slots
and no i have not tried earlier drivers either

 

[crap-at-games]

ive got my card under water and it maxes out at 41 degrees

 

[barnsley]

Did you test it before putting it under water and where did you get it from? new or used?

 

[crap-at-games]

yes ive had the card for about 8 or 9 months now

hmm isnt there some bug about G sync dragging down fps/results?

run the test again without Gsync switched on and see if there is an improvement.

Bad driver? i get close to 9k with my set up at stock (or nvidia realy is nerfing the older cards) http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/8889609?

I would definitely disable G-Sync, the CPU score seems acceptable so it does point to a bit of a problem with the card. Are you running afterburner or any such utility.

Get GPU-Z running in the background and prinstcreen all of the sensors tab after a 3d mark run so we can see how the card is boosting.

[crap-at-games]

That seems pretty normal now

[DarthDudo]

i have no idea what was wrong though

Is perhaps windows set to "Balanced" power management mode?

 

[crap-at-games]

Edit: because ive ran it again and ended up well below again as in this
