Low Firestrike score w/ a 3770k

So I'm wondering if I have a problem with my CPU or not. It seems that my physics and combined score is lower than most others with similar CPUs and clock speeds.

As it stands I'm clocked at 4.3GHz stable. I dug up some old OC settings for 4.4 and 4.5 ghz that tested stable, but resulted in a lower physics score. Temps seem OK so I dont think that's causing a throttle.

this is my result although I am clocked slightly higher: http://www.3dmark.com/fs/3025511
Yes my memory is set at 1866, just a problem with 3DMark reporting

I would disable Lucid Virtu MVP the drivers are probably clashing

Isn't that a download? I don't think I ever bothered getting it.

Dam auto windows update you are right
But when you look at your score it has secondary GPU listed as Intel HD Graphics 4000 could only be Lucid Virtu MVP installed itself some how..... maybe Geforce experience?

maybe do a clean uninstall of NVidia drivers there a re a few programs/ manual guides and try a fresh install 344.16 seem to favor firestrike a little
and 4.3Ghz in the CPU is that your limit? an average 3770k will do 4.5Ghz that is you or is your chip a dud if not clock it some more
3dmark has a heavy weighting of overall score on CPU clock
