I've been playing a ton of Diablo 3 lately, on both my machines, and I've noticed a pretty big difference in FPS on both my rigs. Although I'm not sure about other titles, Diablo 3 "seems" to be running much better on my weaker machine. My 670FTW, (AMD 960T with 2 unlocked cores and a mechanical HDD) averages around 150-160FPS. This card is running with a modded BIOS, at 1.3GHz on the core and 7GHz on the mem. When I'm playing Diablo and have nothing else running this GPU runs at these clocks. My other rig, vanilla 780, 2600k, and D3 running from an SSD, seems to average below 60FPS. When running just D3, the GPU runs at idle clocks, somewhere around 800MHz. The 780 also has a modded BIOS and I've been using NVIDIA Inspector + batch files to force the card to run at max clocks (1070MHz on the core and around 7GHz on the mem.)
Wondering if anyone can help me figure out why my 670, with 1000 less cuda cores, although at a higher core clock, is crushing my 780. Thanks for any and all input.
Edit: both machines run at 1080p. Also, my 780 runs 3 monitors, however I only game on one. The 670 is never hooked up to more than one monitor.
