Hey guys,
I have an EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 XC3 Gaming Ultra and I just ran a benchmark on it in 3DMark Port Royal and it's scoring below average. It's not scoring below average by much but this graphics card is very expensive and I want to get the best performance out of it. It's running the default bios that it came with and It's not overclocked at all. Does anyone have any idea how I could get an above average benchmark score and what could be causing my graphics card to be scoring below average? I have a screenshot for proof here Picture. I have also listed all of my computer specs below. Help is appreciated.
