Why is this potent machine falling down so hard in the combined firestrike score? My laptop with a GTX 1070 beats the score overall and I cannot work out why – https://www.3dmark.com/fs/14356419
your laptop got an Intel CPU?
Yeah, but the CPU score for the Magma with AMD beats my CPU score by 3,000+ points.
The call of duty bemchamek was practically done ay 4k as the render resolution was set to 3840×2160. This should have been mentioned as it gives the card a bad look if people where thinking it got those fps at 1080p. As that would mean even my 1070 performs better.
Yea I was wondering the same thing why a system with a 1070Ti and a CPU that has a fair amount of grunt & COD getting such a low FPS score. Then after seeing your comment I went and looked and there it was. Heck even my Over clocked 390x with this game maxed out gets way more than this for FPS at 1080p.
