GTX 970 Benchmark

[TheJoSko]

Installed the NV beta 346.22 and cudaHashcat-1.32.

Mask attack numbers went up significantly:
Hash.Type......: NetNTLMv2
Speed.GPU.#1...: 382.7 MH/s
Speed.GPU.#2...: 387.8 MH/s
Speed.GPU.#*...: 770.5 MH/s

nvidia-settings shows GPU utilization at: 99%

But my word list numbers are even worse:
Hash.Type......: NetNTLMv2
Speed.GPU.#1...: 3679.0 kH/s
Speed.GPU.#2...: 3557.7 kH/s
Speed.GPU.#*...: 7236.7 kH/s

nvidia-settings shows GPU utilization at: 34% (I'm averaging)

System specs:
AMD FX-8350
8GB DDR3-1866
Samsung EVO 850 SSD

Anyone have any ideas what is causing this?
