Gtx 1070, should I return?

So, I just got a new gtx 1070. It seemed to be working really well, but when I went to compare the results I was getting with the results of others, that's when it seemed a little fishy.
I did a benchmark on the Unigine Valley.
Heres what I got: https://gyazo.com/7e3490018a29c3060387cf7082d85cdb
Here's what someone else got with only an upgraded processor: https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comm..._results_what/
Here's what someone else got with an i5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgClxf1lVAk
Here's another random test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_CiBNNAKwY


My rig:
CPU: i7-4770k
GPU: gtx 1070 evga sc
Ram: 16GB rip jaws 1866
Motherboard: MSI H81M-E33
PSU: XG-H600 600w
2 led light strips
one 2 TB Hard drive
Stock fans, stock processor fan.


I don't know if there's a bottleneck somewhere, or the card is faulty. Maybe I'm going crazy. Let me know what you guys think.

Your test preset for graphics is Extreme
His preset is Custom and i7 6700k is much more powerful when overclocked
His preset is High and Custom
His GPU is overclocked. Did you overclock?

Did you overclock CPU and GPU?

The results you posted are obviously done with different system specs and different graphics settings.

Also, i7 6700k is 19% more powerful than i7 4770k.

There is nothing wrong with your GPU. Moreover, the difference between your result and the last results is only 12 fps which is not a big deal. As I said check your settings and other people settings and then compare.

Do a bench with 3DMark on Firestrike Extreme/Firestrike/TimeSpy. They group scores by identical hardware/settings so it's easier to pick up on anomalies. From the initial look, there's a difference in the settings both of you used which probably explains the scores.
