The issue is a 980ti and a Titan X on Phoronix capping out at 65fps, to me that tells me he had Vsync to blank turn on in the Nvidia control panel. You all need to check it, as my 970 which is a lower card than both of them was hitting higher than his benchmark, and that's not right at all. He was also using a much more powerful CPU than us, and running it from an SSD where as we are not. His results should be much better, so seriously do take his results lightly.

Quoting: BeamboomTo raise the tests even one more level on the interest-bar (imho) you could add benchmark results for Windows running on the same machine.
While it would be interesting, and I have thought about it. Buying a Windows license (money I want for AMD cards) + arranging a hard drive for it (Don't want to split up my current drives - so money again) + the annoyance of having to burn a Windows image to a USB to install = major pain and annoyance.
