    Hi guys,

    I received my 9773-s a couple of days ago, but thanks to work haven't really been able to get into it, until now.

    I just ran 3d Mark, getting a score of 4557 on extreme, and 11970 on performance. Not bad scores, but 3d Mark's showing it as an 'Generic VGA' card.

    I'm also not able to get the performance that Xotic PC managed when they overclocked the system - they scored 12177 on the Performance run.

    I know it' not a huge difernce, but is there anything else that might be the issue other than the graphics card driver? I'm a little scared to reinstall the driver, as I've never done any overclocking myself!

    Anyway, aside from that one slight issue, this is a kick-ass machine!

    (In the image, top left is my Performance run from just now, bottom left is Xotic's overclocked result, and right hand side is the 3d Mark advanced result)

    The difference is just caused by different clocks. Detection by future mark is always a best guess and should NEVER BE relied upon. You can always just update the drivers with the latest from nvidia.com.
