Hello.
Last year, I bought an Inno3D X3 OC RTX 5080, which was obviously a great upgrade from my previous 4060. While I noticed a big difference, I always thought it was odd that it performed nowhere near what others online claimed. I didn't think too much of it and just chalked it up to exaggeration.
Yesterday, I decided to benchmark in 3DMark with Steel Nomad, and the resulting score was 7600. This is apparently in the bottom 2% for similar systems. While I know that average scores are skewed this just seems very low. Am I doing something wrong? Any help, tips, or pointers would be appreciated.
This is my system:
Intel Core i7-14700KF
ASUS PRIME Z790-P WIFI
Inno3D X3 OC NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080
32 GB DDR5
