Well, I submitted my score to Firestrike Extreme thread and 1095/1706 was absolute max, no matter how many times I tried it crashed. This one doesn't crash but shows 967/1500 frequency. Would a custom bios fix this?

Sadly, that is the GPU lottery. My previous Titan would reach 1200Mhz on stock volts but both of my new ones need 1.212V to reach 1170Mhz. A custom BIOS helps but I would seriously only do this if you know the risks and are water cooled. For gaming, it isn't worth it but it is good for benching. I can sit both my Titans at 1250Mhz with 1.25V and the clocks stay at that and do not throttle back.
 
Okay, could you explain one thing to me?
I don't understand how I can set up the frequencies in Precision X but they aren't shown in Firestrike results. And what should I send where to have my score verified? :)
You scared me a little with this warning about custom bios, anyway this is primarily a gaming rig so this was a good enough score.

There was nothing wrong with your score in Firestrike bud. A couple of scores have had warnings and those are the one's I do not allow. If they are genuine good scores and the computers clock hasn't been given the Dr Who treatment, then people should email FutureMark with their results and they will verify and validate it.

As for custom BIOS Bart, I would leave it. If you water cool at some point, go for it, otherwise I wouldn't.
 
Congrats man, good to see it validated and leave no doubts now. Strong Island (fellow mate from OCN) is getting a CPU pot this weekend, the guy is currently #3 (there is a botched result above him on the HOF) with his first ever LN2 run. I want to see what he can do with the KPE because he is a LN2 newbie and I am considering getting a couple of pots for my KPEs as well but that 4770k won't win me any world records on FS/FSE!
 
See the graphics scores and then you will understand. I really want 8 pack (or anyone else for that matter) to get hold of a KPE and rag it to death or till it squeals out even higher numbers.
 
I am benching live Nvidia from the warehouse tomorrow guys. Main objective take 2 card Vantage WR then I have the set. But FS, FSX and 11 may get a cheeky go.

GPU's are 1800+ Capable single card so we should be looking at some good numbers in SLI.
