Title: GB Geforce GTX 670 OC benching lower compared to review samples
Post by: postcava on August 18, 2012, 12:02:24 am

I just built my computer, and my graphics card seems to be benching low.

My CPU is an i7-3770k. The Toms Hardware test had the card coming in for a 3d mark 11 performance test at 8928. (http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-670-test-review,3217-11.html). Mine is only getting about 8114.

What could be the reason? It's been really bugging me.

Hi

The thing is like CPUs all silicon behaves differently. Some will bench much higher than others and it is purely the luck of the draw. Short of overclocking it and probably increasing the voltage to keep it stable there is not much you can do about it. Often these reviewers will make sure that everything is running at optimum levels before they run the benches which can make some difference.
