I recently upgraded to a GTX 970 and was expecting to get somewhere around 8,567 as per the results listed on http://bit.ly/2CuEdJD. However, I only scored 7,610. Here are my specs:
AMD FX-8350 (stock clock)
32 GB DDR3
And the video card itself is a single card installed on a PCI-e x16 2.0 slot.
At first, I though that the 2.0 specification would be slowing it down but, after speaking with an Nvidia support rep and reading other resources online, the difference between 3.0 and 2.0 would be negligible. I also watched my CPU Utilization during the test and it was steady at around 20%, so I don't think that overclocking it would help it much.
Any ideas, or other tests you can recommend?
Thanks!
