Hello,
You guys seem to be the cream of the crop when it comes to optimizing systems for benchmarks, so even though this is not and overclocking question I thought someone here could point out what could be wrong in my current set up that makes my Time Spy score so crap!
Here is my issue in a nutshell:
– 3 weeks ago I bought 5090 and got 37.9k on Time Spy with my processor (12900KS) – https://www.3dmark.com/spy/57700705
– Decided to upgrade the processor to a 9950x3d and got 27.9k on Time Spy – https://www.3dmark.com/spy/58188766 (the other benchmarks are good, problem is with Time Spy)
– Disabled SVD in the BIOS and got a bump (of about 4k) to 31k, them decided to use x3d game mode and got 31k – https://www.3dmark.com/spy/58191030
When I compare the 12900KS to 9950x3d score I see 9950x3d's CPU score is half with x3d game mode on and 25% less without… But when I switch to Time Spy Extreme 9950x3d's CPU score is nearly 50% more (which is consistent with other benchmarks).
The computer is 'new', meaning Windows was recently installed (over this last weekend actually) with current drivers and motherboard (MSI Tomahawk x870e WIFI) has the latest BIOS released at the beginning of the month. Drivers are the latest ones…
What is wrong then? Could this be a core parking issue? I understand that this is not applicable when you switch on x3d game mode AND when you do a fresh install with new drivers… I can't help but think there are some windows settings I'm overlooking or unaware of that is causing this benchmark to remain below the 40k mark.
