Why does that not surprise me.
Early predictions, will it beat your old titan?
Hard to say but water and a custom BIOS will give me a rough idea. I am too busy to put my block on it at the moment and will have to be done between Chrimbo and New Year, so will see what it can do then.
I will just enjoy some games in my free time for now
67.9 Asic and the other was 71%, so bugger all in it.

Very nice and straight into the top 5. Now give it some more and knock those dirty 290X's of Kaapstad's down

A couple of things that help to improve scores are:
Those basic things can give some small increases to scores and other than pushing the clocks to the max of the card, not much else you can do. More volts and water will obviously help but they come with risks.

- Make sure you are running as few processes as possible
- turn off things like Steam - Origin - Uplay
- Turn off the internet
- Disable Aero

I've never bothered turning off the internet or disabling steam as my 3dmark is through steam.
You start 3DMark up and then turn off steam I believe. I have mine on steam also but a seperate one for desktop, so no need for steam to be on.
Do the run, re-enable the internet to validate the score with the link. Every little helps
Another thing to do is a clean install. Every time I have done this, the gains have been good. Not sure if it is because of all the bloat ware we end up having but it deffo improves the scores. A tad extreme but handy for anytime we do a fresh install.
I used to go into task manager and turn off everything i didn't need
Only really helps with the physics tests though to be fair, never tried pulling the cable for the net mind....surely it isn't worth much?
Not sure also but it is something I have done when proper going for it, as I don't want anything like a windows update kicking in or AV updates. It just stops those kind of potential drains on the hardware.
That's dedication.
I'd rather buy a spare SSD just with a bench install on
A good shout on the spare SSD. I have a 60GB one I use for recording with ShadowPlay, which is rather boring in truth, so might just do that
That sucks. People have it a mile away from me but I still can't get it 
I love village life but they do put us on the back burner for things like this.

OK thanks for that Greg, seems little underwhelming... My CPU is under water BTW
I will change that now and to get the most out of a 780 or any card, it requires some soft modding to get more volts but I would only do this if you are under water, or you don't mind risking your card. Volts = heat and heat = bad.
lol Chaparral. I thought you was being rather brave going 1.5V on air
