**Official 3DMark 'Fire Strike' Leaderboard**

Use 13.12 WHQL Kaapers. To be honest i always thought your firestrike scores look a bit on the low (ish) side as im able to get within a few hundred points (graphics score) of you, yet in other bench threads im much further behind.

I don't like swapping drivers too much as it is a pain going through the registry to change anything up to 55 entries for ULPS.

I have not found a copy of MSI afterburner that will do it for me yet either (the option does not come up where it should be).

It should be there on the on the latest beta (beta 19) Kaapston. Sounds like you need to do a full uninstall of afterburner. Uninstall AB+Rivatuner, restart pc, make sure all AB/RT folders are deleted from program files, then install the latest beta. Your way sounds like a pain in the buttcheeks.

EDIT

Given your probs might be worth using a regcleaner too, like CCleaner.

Yes mate, follow the link.
Downside with free is you need to complete all tests and watch all the demos! :D

I think i have a key on my Steam account though, add me and i'll let you have.
Going to shave my head now, and have a shower :) Hairs getting long ;)
 
Edit 25/5 I previously reported the wrong clock speed on my 21/05 edit, I had moved the nVidia drivers back to the last set of WHQL for that test but had made the following clock changes on my 780Ti, GPU clock at 1105/1170Mhz and Ram clock at 7444Mhz.

3DMark Score - 10976

Graphics Score - 13393

Physics Score - 9107

Combined Score - 5366

CPU using H80i cooler and GPU using stock air cooler.

I think this card would do more if it had better cooling. I have pushed it as high as 1120/1185 on the GPU and 7666Mhz on the Ram using the beta 337.50 drivers and benched without artefacts before I think heat became an issue.

That bench result below but I don't think should be counted it couldn't achieve anything near those clocks for 24/7 use with the current stock cooling.

Just ran a new firestrike bench and it has confirmed to me that my previous score with 'stock' clocks must have been a mistake as I have just run it with the following

i7 4770k @4.3
290 tri-x @1130/1625

And it only increased the score by 500 but here are the links

Original 'Stock' Bench

New Bench with higher clocks

It only increased by 500 because you're barely clocking anything
 
Try the VDDC offset at 175 and up the core a touch. The memory clocks you should be aiming for are 1500 at the very least. Your cooler should be able to cope with that voltage for the odd benchmark run.
