just to get the back story out, I picked up a pair of gtx760 gpus a bit back.
I played around clocking the things and felt pretty good about getting 1150-1190 on the cores and looking at the reviewers ratings (but not the clocks) still felt I was in the ballpark.
Then, talking to my buddy Rgone I got quite a kick in the cajones when he saw some folks getting into the high 1300's.
He sent me a link and there it was, they were claiming high 1300's, so I read along in the thread a bit and they discussed the valley scores, so I downloaded valley and fired it up, I dont sit through bench marks so i just fired it up and walked away.
I came back and in the score box my score was a bit higher than what had been posted so i ran it a few more times and all was good as far as the scoring.
What has been in the back of my mind all this time was the clocks, why could i and most reviewers only reach the mid and upper 1100's????
running valley again tonight I sat through the bench and right there in the upper right corner was my answer, valley shows a clock figure and mine showed over 1400!!!
the point of this????? always find out what monitor is being used!!!!!
