Unexpected low scores

Moose · Jun 14, 2021

As you can see in my system specs; I have a fairly fast PC, I find that modern games run well at high settings. However I ran a couple of benchmarks; pcmark 10 and performancetest, and I am getting low scores around 2/3 what I would expect comparing with similar PCs, mainly focusing on the GPU tests. Obviously the scores aren't horrendous but here is the pcmark: https://www.3dmark.com/pcm10/62651364 I think a RTX3090 should be doing better than this! Any ideas?

Your CPU is a good one but its still bottlenecking your 3090. That explains the low score you are seeing.

You think so even on the graphics tests? I should look at CPU utilisation while they run!

Hi,
Probably better to use passmark not pcmark

Problem has now been solved; nvidia control panel was limiting frames to ~266fps so this affected the easier tests more and barely affected others. The above comments about the CPU are also correct but they didn't have as great an effect as first noticed (33%).

Slap a 3300X (or 3600X) in that thing and you'll be good to go.

2/3 would be correct as the 2700 will bottleneck it around 20-30%. depending on the tasks.
