I have been using my 7900 XTX for a bit now and have looked into some posts on scores. I read a post from 2 years ago that they flashed a 550 W BIOS on their GPU and did a PTM7950 swap and new thermal putty; They ended up getting a score of 20,034 in Port Royal. Maybe my score is better because of newer drivers and such, but I'd like to think it is not the case because I am number 1 on the leaderboard for a 5950X 7900 XTX setup. I also looked at the 5800X and 7900 XTX setups, and my score is still higher. The thing is, my score is seemingly insane for the core clock speed I am seeing and the memory clock. I am getting an average core clock speed of about 2700 MHz in the benchmark according to 3DMark and 2700 MHz on the memory. People are getting 3.2 GHz+ for the same scores. So basically, is this a normal thing, or is there something weird about my setup/score? Here is my setup below with OC profile:
CPU: Ryzen 9 5950X (SMT Off, PBO All core -10, +50 MHz clock override, mobo limits)
RAM: 4 x 32GB DDR4 Corsair Vegeance RGB (CL16 3600 MHz with 2T CR at 1.4 V)
Motherboard: ASUS Tuf X570 Plus Gaming Wi-Fi
GPU: Powercolor Hellhound RX 7900 XTX (using OC BIOS, using PTM7950 & K5-Pro putty).
Main storage drive: Samsung 990 Pro 4TB
GPU OC settings in MoreClockTool:
Core Min: 500 MHz
Core Max: 3300 MHz
Memory Clock: 2714 MHz
Voltage: 1100 mV
Memory Timings: Fast Timings
Power Limit: 115%
TDC Limit: 100%
ULPS: Disabled
PCIe Generation: Set to Gen3 manually (I have been testing Gen3 vs. Gen4 and have seen no real difference in Steel Nomad and Time Spy, and I feel like my OC is more stable on Gen3).
Peak Power Draw from 2 x 8 pin connectors (shown on my WireView): ~370 W
Peak Power Draw shown in GPU-Z: 466 W
Peak GPU Temp: 62C
Peak GPU Hotspot Temp: 82C
Peak Memory Junction Temp: 108C
Peak Voltage: 1.135 V
I can definitely do more testing and also have higher OCs, as the one I used is my "game safe" OC.
