Couldnt help myself.
1.300 vcore, 1.800 eventual input voltage, (known as vrin on gigabyte boards) 1.200 on sa and ioa and iod voltages. Ram on XMP of 2400 mhz, 10-11-11-31, 2T 1.65v. Cache/uncore clock at stock of 4000mhz. SVID disabled in bios. The important thing to remember with haswell clocking is that input voltage should be at least 0.5v higher than vcore. Some of the terms in bios may be labeled different on your board from what asus calls them.Nice. Whats your overclock settings to get 4.7?
I would have figured a 970 at those clocks to beat the average OC 780?
Is it because of new drivers?
Compared to the couple of 980 scores I have seen it looks to be about right.
whyscotty got 1893 with a 980. It is quite easy comparing the two cards on this bench as it is all about graphics performance.
Providing both cards are using about the same clocks all you have to do is divide the 970 score by 13 and multiply by 16 (number of cores in use).
1555/13 = 119.615
*16 = 1913.846
Having said all that I think the drivers will improve a bit too.
I was talking about the 780 compared to the 970. Not the 980.
I was just expecting a well overclocked 970 to easily beat a mild OC 780. According to most reviews I read, the 970 seems to be beating the 780.
