It must have some meaning, I have had scores around 12,000+ before and smooth game play on the same set up.
Now a score around 8,000 and noticeable drops in FPS in games.
The only change is a new monitor ironically to take advantage of the higher FPS I was getting (resolutions were the same on old and new monitor)
hopefully a 3080ti comes out later this year, don’t want to buy another 2080ti just yet.
