Specs -
3700x (Stock cooler as I am having to RMA the H100i Plat SE)
MSI Tomahawk Max
Corsair Vengeance 3600 32gb
RTX2080 Super
Sabrent Rocket
RM750x
1440p 165hz Monitor
I was feeling like my new system wasn't running to its potential so I started turning on FPS counters to check it out. Battlefield 5 on full low settings at 1440p is barely over 100fps. For comparison, my old 4790k 980 combo did this at 1080p. My friend's i5 1070 beats this at 1440p low. So I went to benchmarks.
Heaven 1080p extreme scored 5848 - not even close to the pack with 3700x/2080 Super, instead it's at the lower end of the regular 2070s, 1080tTIs, and older CPUs. Really poor performance.
3DMark Timespy (DX12) got a total score of 10281 (GPU 10402, CPU 9646) putting it in the bottom 3% of all results with this CPU/GPU combo.
3DMark Firestrike (DX11) got a total score of 18459 (19119 GPU, Physics 23896) putting it in the bottom 1% of all results with this CPU/GPU combo.
For comparison, my 4790k/980 machine achieved 12000 in Firestrike. A Ryzen 3700x, 2080 Super rig is barely outperforming that.
So I have no idea what is going on - temps are sub-60 at full load, Windows power plan is Ryzen balanced, Nvidia is set to favour maximum power/performance. It's a completely new build, all fresh so no old drivers hanging around ruining things.
Did I just get super, super unlucky, or is there anything I can do? Everything seems to be working fine, it's just doing it badly.
