To be expected I guess. Going to change the cooler on them?
Nope I'm okay with them, they actually aren't as loud as people say. Not much louder than the 780 Ti.
That's good.

@horgen: Yeah, the physics score and combined score factor into it, too. But, my graphics score is still over 9000, which is pretty good considering the price of my system...
You beat mine =/
Not by much.. Are you waiting for 20nm before you upgrade?
I think I have a slightly better score actually... Well than the one you linked to. Still a little below 8800.
I finally replaced the GTX 560 Ti with a 4Gb GTX 770. So, I did a retest. Some changes from previous...... Forget the top. But, that should keep me from the basement for a while. He He.

I reset my FX-8350's clock speed back to 4.0 Ghz.
Nice, what do you think of the card? I bet you like the boost up from the 560 :P

The main reason I stuck with a GTX 770 versus going with a GTX 780 is because I'm sticking with 1080p. I managed to snag the 4Gb version on a sale. A GTX 780 is still over $100 more. I could've gone with a cheaper 2Gb version. But, the VRAM requirements of Watch Dogs convinced me to get one with more VRAM.
I also don't have to beef up the "MEH" cooling of my microATX minitower case. If I had decided to buy say, an R9 290, I would've had to rework the cooling subsystem. I'm feeling too lazy right now. ;)
It is quite a step up from the GTX 560 Ti. Since I'm fine with framerates of at least in the upper 30's and 40's, I can go with Very High 4xSMAA in Crysis 3, Ultra (HDAO) 4xMSAA in Far Cry 3, and Ultra Temporal SMAA in Watch Dogs. I haven't seen the stuttering that's plagued some players.
I'm not a big fan of the increasing sizes though. I think it's becoming ridiculous.
MSI GTX 770 compared to Gigabyte Windforce GTX 560 Ti.
Edit: The antialiasing settings above are all application-based. I can go higher via Nvidia Control Panel when they work. Some games do not seem to use Control Panel settings.

Makes sense. Don't need all that horse power if you aren't gonna use it all. :P With games going forward from now, we should see more use more than 2 GB. I wanna try watch dogs, but i don't think I'll touch it until I switch over to the 290. I'll probably get the same performance I do now, but the only exception is that I'll have 4 GB of Vram to use.
I hear you. :P I wouldn't go through the trouble if I didn't have to. As long as you are happy with that card, I think thats what matters.
Watchdogs did get a patch, maybe that helped. Wasn't the stuttering more on AMD cards? or am I wrong about that? I haven't been keeping up with it much. But I should since I plan to get it a bit later.
Yeah quite the difference. I've posted a picture of my computer before. There is a 2inch difference in the size of my current cards. And both are bigger than my 6850. Not really a fan of it either. But I guess with things getting more powerful, they have to get bigger.
You know which games work? I haven't bothered too much with my catalyst, but if there is a difference I wouldn't mind testing it.
My first attempt with my daily OC's for CPU and GPU = 22877
I will try and see what I can get out of it...
EDIT:
Well I just remembered that my crappy i5 4670K can't do more than 4.1GHz... I BSOD'ed at 4.2Ghz just now.
Also the benchmark is very cpu heavy, at the physics stress test it drops to 20fps. I saw some results showing a FX 6300 at 4.8Ghz with a better physics score than my 4670k... and a i7 4960X with almost twice the score as my 4670K.
I dont know if I clicked on the wrong link, but when I proceeded to download the 3d mark software, I got a Trojan horse.. it caused my cpu temps to rise to 70 degrees Celsius on idle according to my temp monitor.

Fire Strike 14953 - First run with the new cards. I have a ton of work to do with the overclocks now. CPU is only at 4.2 right now because my PSU is being a pain for some reason.

Edit:
Fire Strike 15891 - With CPU at 4.67 and I don't know if I can push it much more.
http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/3377041
And boy do I need an SSD.
Edit 2:
Got a SSD. Fire Strike 16312 - CPU at 4.5 because Fire Strike crashes for me now above 4.6. So a slower CPU clock with an SSD got me a better score. I got a 15698 at 4.2 with the SSD which is close to my highest CPU clock score.
It's sad, but I think this benchmark thread is pretty much dead. It's been over 22 days since we have gotten an update, and still no Sky Diver benchmark added, among other things.
I would be willing to start and maintain a new benchmark thread if the mods approve and if anyone is interested in continuing.
*Note* My username is different on this one because I recently deleted 3dmark and installed the steam demo version. So it goes by my steam name. For proof just check my other links. It merged my other account with this one, so my other scores should have the same name now.

TC hasn't been active since May 8th according to the profile. If you can gather all the new scores and make a new and updated topic. I'll sticky it. Just shoot me a PM and I'll sticky the new topic. Dark has maintained this topic for what seems like forever. I bet life/school/work has caught up and he hasn't been active. Hope everything is okay with him.
