So basically I did a 3DMark Time Spy benchmark on my 4080 Super (with a stable undervolt+memory overclock) and compared it to similar results. Found out it performs worse compared to most of the users with similar specs (even despite reaching slightly higher avg clock and memory speeds).
Does anybody know why that would happen?

Cpu clock average is higher , and the Nvidia drivers the version can have slight impact.
Tons of things can cause this, tons of guides on the internet to min/max those tests, usually you give up something to gain something though.
Also be sure you are not overclocking the memory too much. Those have inbuilt error correction and they might work stable at higher clocks but in reality they might be slowing things down because of errors happening in the background and the memory just correcting those with a performance penalty.
There’s many nuanced factors that can effect your score, down to drivers, how well optimized and debloated your Windows is, too high memory overclock on your GPU, CS/CO settings, memory timings, etc.
Even with the same hardware or similar hardware, there may be lot of things done under the hood differently.
