Is this Heaven benchmark normal?

[MrH]

Hi guys, I've been having some performance issues in Overwatch and I'm trying to figure out if it's the game or my hardware so I've been running tests, so far memtest+ came back clear after 27 hours and Heaven ran for 5 hours on an extreme loop without issue so I think my GPU should be OK right? And is this score normal for my card? It's a 970 G1 Gaming at stock.

Next up is Prime95 and HD Tune. There's no way to test the PSU and motherboard right? Well I checked the rails in HWinfo and they were all normal so I guess that's enough to say it's OK? But I wouldn't know how to test a motherboard without a spare.

The Heaven score seems in line for a reference 970. For the G1 Gaming, if the Boost was working, you'd expect a 1400-ish score. You could enable some on-screen monitoring of Power, GPU usage, Core Clock while you run the benchmark, to see if anything looks out of place. You can't trust the core clock reading Heaven gives you, it tends to read higher than it actually is. Could use Afterburner+RivaTuner for on-screen monitoring display.

Does Windows NT 6.2 run games type software very well?
Andi.

I'm actually using Windows 10 64, not sure why it says otherwise.

@Danny75, here's the information you asked for: https://i.imgur.com/ylfoaZn.jpg

(I made a mistake earlier, I don't have the G1 Gaming, I have the MSI 4G Gaming, I always get them confused)

Yes your score looks normal for stock clocks.

Here is a load of 970 scores but they are all overclocked.

Yeah about normal. I think I managed 1400 when overclocking my old 970.
