FWIW

My wife's computer gets nearly identical scores (avg 64fps, min 25fps, max 127fps on 1080p Extreme):

Core i3-2120
4GB DDR3-1333 RAM
GTX 970 (1536 OC)
500GB crap HDD

EVERYTHING is holding the 970 back. LOL

I realized what you guys were talking about with LogMeIn Mirror Drive.
I have deleted it.

Thanks a lot for the links to mobo driver and bios.

vsync turned off on RE6 but no luck.
Besides, I dont think i have chanced any settings on 3dmark... may be hardware side vsync or something?

in terms of unigine valley I did not have v-sync on.

You are prolly doing some charity Litecoin mining without even knowing it.

How do you get yourself involved with LogMeIn, and then completely forget about it?
And then it takes 10 posts and multiple attempts before you even consider deleting it.

OK here is the tip, and I know this might seem rude, but it's not meant to be:
Stick with the basics and don't install everything you can get your hands on.
And pay attention to running and startup programs/services. (CTRL+ALT+DEL!!!)

Yeah i'm in a bad mood, sorrrry.....and GL with the fresh OS :)

Some other things to check before you reformat everything:

1. DSR - make sure Dynamic Super Resolution is disabled in the driver settings. If the card is rendering everything at 2x-4x the resolution, that could explain the performance difference. I think it comes ON by default when you install the driver.

2. Make sure the game/benchmark is running in fullscreen and NOT fullscreen borderless windowed mode

3. Adaptive V-Sync - make sure it's off.

Just to chime in with the OP: my scores are practically identical as OP's. That is all in i7-2600K @4.8 + 970 @1500 / 2000.

I also have an old windows install. Lots of development tools in there. System tray also full of crap that might be holding the performance.

What I find most interesting is that I can reach 60 FPS avg, yet that only gives me 1513 points ws OP's 34.5 --> 1445 and nick's 65,5 --> 2739 ?!? My benchmark version is 4.0 though vhereas the other two are v 1.0

You are comparing Unigine Heaven 4.0 with Unigine Valley 1.0

Thanks for the suggestion. I did not have DSR on (was off by default?)
I had full screen.
Though I did have V-Sync on on control panel.

Let me retest it and see what happens.

I have secondary SSD so currently installing new windows there.

No fresh install GTX 970 and turned off v-sync on nvidea setting :

Little better

BTW: DSR only has effect if you actually choose one of the DSR resolutions. Assuming your monitor is at least full HD, this should not play any part in the score. Even if it's not, your score is only relevant for full HD resolution (when comparing), so DSR would be your only means of obtaining a meaningful score.

That said, your scores look fine for stock clocks. Like I said, I overclock both the card and the CPU and only get 200 more points...

Seems like the v-sync indeed was issue.
Given that I have so many things installed.
I guess I will keep my old windows install for now.
Either way it seems like I need to update my CPU soon.
Although I definitely wished the score was bit higher for sure.

I sincerely appreciate all with inputs, and am still open for more suggestion to make things better (including upgrading hardware)

I doubt very very much it's CPU

anyway that result is still not quite there, amirite 970 owners?

He says he is open to more suggestions. If he overclock the CPU from 3.4Ghz (3.8ghz if turbo is enable) to 4.5 Ghz, I bet he will go from 55 fps to 65 fps.

Then he can still overclock the card to gain another 5-10 fps depending on the aggressivity of the OC.

A stock 2600k with stock GTX 970 will give around 55 fps.

Check here, stock i7 4790k with stock GTX 970 sli

thats SLI though.
Although I did say I am open for suggestion.
I will definitely look into over clocking.

Give me a minute and I will run my 2700k and 970s at stock speed both SLI and single card.

just running other test results but now i feel like its made some improvements.

Im currious how much 670 was REALLY getting.
I might test it again.

Had Oculus Running on background.
Turned it off and heres the result.
I guess having 3rd monitor does effect performance (slightly)

And I am really glad I am catching up to what seems to be new standard

GTX 670 V-Sync off :

Not the quite 65% increase but if the improvement is as big as near 50% I am very satisfied with my purchase. Score should improve more with oc but what I was most worried about was the difference between GTX 670 and 970 so this result is very comforting
