Last year my PC scored 10000+ in firestrike

[☠Big Balls☠]

It actually was scoring 10000 until recently. I messed up my computers bios settings and my cool PC isnt as strong as it was before. Now I can only get my score up to 6000.

Anyways I thought maybe it had to do with my hardware being 3 years old now.

But it looks like I may need someone to fix up my PC.. I dont know enough to mess with it. I paid someone to build it for me.

my rig is completely open case. This is the case I use and I blow it down often. http://www.techspot.com/articles-info/677/images/Image_27S.jpg

If you think you've messed up the BIOS settings, just go to BIOS and load optimized defaults to reset them back to safe, working settings.

If that doesn't sort it, a link to your score on 3dmark.com would be useful to figure out what is going on

Also make sure you are actually running the same test. New 3DMark UI recommends Fire Strike Ultra or Extreme depending on your hardware and those scores cannot be compared to normal Fire Strike.

I resent the bios settings to default and I think that is why my score is low. I am not sure what was set up before to give me a better score. I always do the same test. Firestrike is always the recomended test for me. not ultra or extreme. Here is a screen shot of my scores.

Am no expert, at all ! But comparing both your runs the physics scores are the same, or almost. So your system ie CPU/memory/motherboard is running as well as before.
Your graphics score however has nearly halfed, so the problem is with youy SLI graphics setup.
Most likely a driver issue so uninstall all your nvidia drivers and either download the lastest driver or reinstall the last driver you used before the problem occured.

Oh before i go might be worth doing a firestrike run with only one 770 installed first...

Alright I will give it a try. Thank you!

I tried it again and I got a even lower score. 3000, http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/15248598? I am going to try a new driver although this one is pretty new.

So it looks like when I disable SLI it reccomends I do firestrike Extreme for multigpu systms and overclocked pcs, but when i have SLI on it wants me to do just regular firestrike.

I just downloaded the new driver and turned of SLI. I am getting the same score with one card as I am with 2 when SLI is enabled.

Here is the test after the latest driver with only one card on. http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/15252553?

I actually got about 700+ score for having only one card on.

And here is my newest score now, with SLI turned on. Lower than with one card.

SOLVED. I just set my video cards back to default settings and now I am back up to 10000 points. I am still using the new drivers.
