Can anyone explain to me why this seems to happen? I really just want to get the 13 more pts to hit 41k and then ill be happy.
my system is ;
Ryzen 9 9950X3D, only settings i have set are a negative curve of 15 (-15) on all cores, and set my loadline calibration to extreme. Also I set my Scalar to 10X , motherboard limits , Positive 200mhz etc.
Asus Tuf OC RTX5090 with a small overclock using afterburner.
a 64gb Trident kit of ddr5 6000mhz cl26 ram.
Gigabyte Aorus Master X870E gigabyte motherboard
Artic liquid freezer pro iii AIO Cpu cooler
Gen 5 Samsung pro 2 TB windows 11 drive
NZXT c1500, ATX 2.1 power supply.
I got the annoying time error from 3D mark when running the 40987 score benchmark, but the 9950X3D stayed up at 5.874ghz for almost the entire benchmark , only dropping to 5.7ghz a few times only for a few seconds.
The same thing for the video card, a clock frequency of 3,217 MHz with an average of 3,108 MHz through the entire benchmark. With a high temp of only 59C! it seemed like it should have been able to keep going higher since it had the headroom for temp, wattage being used and total usage of the card not even always being at 100%.
I'm not sure what else I can do for the CPU, when Im playing say call of duty BO6 online, my RTX5090 boosts all the way up to 3313mhz, while only using alittle over 300watts,and the temperature only being at 34C. (My fan curve doesn't even kick on till 40C, which i have changed to have them turn on earlier)
Anyway, i just wanted to share my score with you, especially since all I have done was set a negative all core curve to negative 15. I'm curious can some of you with the same hardware share some of your results so maybe I can possibly learn some more things and possibly increase my score.
thanks everyone for reading my long , rambiling , PTSD fuled book report on my stupid benchmark scores. lol. I appreciate all of you.
Here is a valid score without the time error, of 40718 where I actually had higher clock speeds and stuff and yet i still scored lower then my other benchmark,
