I had to laugh a little while dying inside. 3DMark called my PC “budget”. Rude, hah.

    HOW?!?! That was top of the line not long ago

    Something with your system is seriously wrong. 5950x + 3090 still beats 90-95% of scores on timespy

  3. croissantguy07

    link your result, im actually impressed how bad this is if it’s stock settings lol

  4. hardlyreadit

    Nothing like 3D mark to let you know you have a problem somewhere, somehow, with something lol

    Spent just under 2k on mine and it read as gaming pc just above a gaming laptop

    Did you forget to enable the performance mode in Windows ?
    Drivers ?
    No issues with games in general ?

    You need a full fresh reset. Start from scratch

    At this performance differential, I suspect your GPU may be heavily throttled for some reason. Run a power virus like FurMark and check your GPU temperatures, power states, power delivery, etc. while it’s running.

  9. Maybe you’re capping your frame rate to the monitor refresh globally in nVidia settings? I run that way for g-sync but it hurts benchmarks…

    Something is wrong here OP, I beat this with a 3080 and 5700x

    How many watts is your power supply? Maybe do a userbenchmark.

  12. subarubro

    I bet you capped your frame rate somehow because this score doesn’t make sense

  13. machinationstudio

    Only the sweaty guys benchmark, so the days is skewed towards the best gear?

    Is that a new version of 3DMark? Don’t recognize Solar Bay.

    Damn! With a 5950 and 3090. That’s almost exactly what I run (3080ti) and all that shit definitely wasn’t cheap. Granted I’ve had it for several years now.

  16. NutButterXplosion

    That’s not right, do you have g-sync enabled, or a capped frame rate? I saw your GPU temp was hitting 77, crank the fans when benchmarking.

  17. Anotherthrowawayboye

    Gotta jack up the memory speed

  18. I had 68444 points with a 3600 and 2080ti. I’d try ddu and fresh gpudriver install if I was you.

    So what does this mean for a guy like me with a 3060 12gb and ryzen 3 3700x

    [Here’s mine with nearly identical hardware (Same model CPU+GPU+32GB Ram)](https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/107777318?)

    Something is definitely wrong with your settings/drivers/hardware. Now you have to find out what.

    Just making sure, you don’t have a ~175hz monitor and left on G-Sync by chance right?

    Can’t be right. Something going on with your system.

  22. I just ran Solar Bay twice with a I9-10850 and a 3080.

    First time with MSI capping the FPS to 120 – Score = 31,560

    Second time with unlimited frame rate and 100% Fans speed – Score = 84,599
