Is the internet gone or is the Best Gtx 970 in good shape?
Is the internet gone or is the Best Gtx 970 in good shape?
Hi guys,
Three days ago I overclocked my gtx 970 and here are my results:

1650 Mhz
4000 Mhz
110%
But today, after updating the driver, I ran the Heaven benchmark again and this time the scores dropped from 2000 to 1400?

So... is the Heaven broken?
Try 3dmark. The standard fire test results and the linked page should be referenced.
You should be in the 11,000 - 12,000 range -

If your values fall within that normal range, don’t worry unless you’re experiencing problems in games. I observed in Heaven that the ultra high FPS peaks line up with brief stutters during the test. This suggests Heaven might be outdated and no longer a trustworthy benchmark.
SinxarKnights :
Driver version 372.90
Driver version 373.06 (latest as of Oct 7, 2016)
So no, Heaven is fine.
Have you run it more than once? If you installed GeForce Experience make sure it isn't interfering with the benchmark (such as Shadowplay running in the background).
Ty, never thought about it. Will try it asap.
Is Geforce Experience really necessary?
just tried it, without G. Experience, still the same score ~1450.
Did you reinstall the driver by removing it with DDU and then installing it again? DDU has an official link for version V17.0.2.0: http://www.wagnardmobile.com/?q=node/103. GeForce Experience works well for certain features like auto updates and ShadowPlay, but I usually install the driver manually since I don't use ShadowPlay. Manual installation helps avoid issues with game optimization.
SinxarKnights asked about reinstalling the driver by removing it with DDU and then installing it again. He mentioned he found the official link for version V17.0.2.0 here: http://www.wagnardmobile.com/?q=node/103. He also noted that GeForce Experience helps with auto updates and ShadowPlay, but prefers manual installation since he doesn't use ShadowPlay. He pointed out that game optimization can cause unexpected problems. He tried DDU again without success and shared a link to a background app manager page.
