I've today upgraded from my trusty GTX670 to the KFA2 GeForce GTX 970 OC Silent "Infin8 Black Edition" and have re-run the tests on 3D Mark with the following results:
Fire Strike 1.1
5979 -> 9001
Sky Diver 1.0
16355 -> 20388
Cloud Gate 1.1
15035 -> 16935
Ice Storm 1.2
135473 -> 138454
I know that benchmarks aren't the be-all and end-all of this sort of upgrade and I do intend to overclock my 2500K to get the very best out if my system but I just wanted to make sure I was in the right ball-park performance-wise!
The other thing I was surprised about was my score of 9001 was apparently very close to the score of 9131 using an i7-4770K and a GTX Titan!?!?!
