I just swapped my old GTX 680 for a GTX 970 and checked the Novabench scores. My graphics rating dropped from 900 to 700 after the upgrade, while with 3D Mark it jumped from 10,500 to about 13,700. Which tool gives the best picture? The 3D Mark test seems more reliable here. The GTX 970 struggles on Novabench probably because it doesn’t handle the benchmark as well as the GTX 970 does.

Are you asking about the reliability of the results rather than exact precision?
