That is a head scratcher and in honesty, I had no idea there was a 32bit and 64bit variants. I thought it was always default for any of the bench runs and you couldn't alter them but not really looked into it.

Im pretty sure its a power-state or the RAM, main suspect being RAM. His RAM is slow (1600) So i suggest he tries overclocking to 2000+ and focus on having t he tRCD timing low which will yield him a lot of physics score.
 
Looks like it was steam as the issue. Far better results from a download from 3d mark site instead also no 32 or 64bit options through that like steam version had when installing.

Firestrike

3DMark Score 6583.0
Graphics Score 7485.0
Physics Score 8557.0

So if anyones running it on steam, i suggest you dont and get a download from 3d mark site and install that version instead.

Also i duno if it helped at all but i closed a few things down and turned avast off for a hour, and set windows basic as theme so no aero. Not sure if thats helped or not but i think it was steam primarily that was the issue. Atm in my things running in background were, razor synapse 2.0, logitecth g key thing, nvidia icon, avast but disabled for a hour, display fusion 4 but set to pause wallpaper switching and the sound icon. Cant remember what i disabled but ill edit this post after a reboot in a bit.

But yeah far better scores. Still 4.5ghz on the cpu, ram i never touched, 1250 boost (+100 on the core) and 1700 vram (+400 on the ram).

So happy that i sorted it. Bloody steam version...

Edit - What i shut down was rainmeter, steam, xpadder.

Improvement incoming, looks like the latest beta's have given a small boost in getting my graphics score up to what it was previously, back over 100 and 80fps avg for the first two tests respectively. Hadn't seen those numbers since 320.18's although I do now have PCI-E 3 x16/16 working for the first time :)

Spec and overclocks same as above bar 331.40 beta's.
