I have a random question for the [H] that confuses the crap out of me. Why does my 2x 560 Tis get such a low score on fire strike compared to everyone else? i've done most things I can think of to try and solve the problem, such as a "clean install" of my drivers, removing junk files, etc.. but yet I still get the same score?.. and still other people with sli 560 tis score twice as well as i do?
take this guy for example:

the only thing different from this rig (that I can tell from the page) is he or she has a Ivy Bridge vs my sandy and 16GBs of ram vs my 8GBs. My video cards and CPU are overclocked more.. one thing i notice is 3dmark detects my cpu as running at 2.9ghz but I can confirm it's really 4.6ghz with a cpuz screenshot, yet this random individuals score is 4453 and I score a lowly 1902?

mine: http://www.3dmark.com/fs/159130

so whats the deal?

i feel your pain as i also get bad scores with 3DMark and Heaven Valley bench marks.

Like you i have reinstalled fresh every driver even windows and still no luck.

but installing the latest nvidia beta driver does help slightly

Well, accually I did think of this. I put MSIs ABs hardware monitor up on my second screen while it ran to see if it was working or not, but it showed them working as they should in both of their gpu usage graphs however I noticed it would spike and dip during bench testing from 99%~ usage to 20%.. Honestly all i can think of at this point is nvidia just needs to give us a new driver lol
