Ok so I’ll try and keep it brief but I got a 9060 xt 16gb (180watt tdp model), when I originally got the card I just threw it in and updated my drivers to the newest optional drivers. Card ran well and I ran some benchmarks to dial in a daily overclock but in the process obviously I had to see how high I could go. I had multiple scores in the 17,900-18,000 range. Eventually I started working on my ram OC before I swapped CPU’s just to see how high I could get on the leaderboard. After having to do a cmos reset my score never recovered including my cpu score (gaming performance and other benchmarks showed improvement) so I then downgraded my drivers but my scores didn’t improve. Next I ran DDU and after reinstalling the newest wqhl driver my scores were even worse.
Fast forward to today I installed my new cpu and ran ddu again as well as installed the original recent optional driver and the scores were still poor in comparison. I reinstalled my chipset drivers after all of this and that got me another 200 points (17,595) but still a far cry from 18,000
Any ideas on bios settings or a driver I could have messed up in this process? My new cpu isn’t scoring as well as I would expect either if I’m being honest. Ram is running 3800mhz 1:1 infinity clock and cl14 with tweaked subs and has passed all my stability testing this far. Cpu is just using pbo with a negative offset and +200

Forgot to add the pictures are a before run on original setup and the other is a more recent run
So I actually ran this card with the same exact set ups, once with a 5600x [https://www.3dmark.com/spy/56916887](https://www.3dmark.com/spy/56916887) which i do remember seeing your name on there, and then the 5800xt [https://www.3dmark.com/spy/56990847](https://www.3dmark.com/spy/56990847) From what i can see your card is running a bit hotter, lower mem speed and your cpu is a few hundred mhz down. Both of these 9060xts are actually different cards, same model but different ones. Your CPU score actually does seem slighty higher than mine. I didnt have much trouble with the cards. I just turned PBO on and ran the curve optimizer and push the numbers in the AMD software till my scores stopped moving or going backwards.
