Why is my GPU performing worse than everyone else?

I just purchased the GTX 1660 Super AERO ITX series : https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/GeForce-GTX-1660-SUPER-AERO-ITX

 

Then I did some tests and found out, that it performs significantly worse than similar card: https://www.passmark.com/baselines/V9/display.php?id=130255811950

 

The average is above 11000, mine performs at just 9500.

 

My display does not allow 4k resolution though, and my PSU is the Corsair RM1000x

 

What may be causing this, should I RMA?

You went with a poor cooled GPU and you have an overkill PSU.

Small cooler and bad load temperatures.

The score is the same, when I open the case and turn the fan up 100%

when benchmarking it's usually at 100% even if on auto (or a little lower).

my 2080 benches a little more than average non overclocked cards when benchmarking because of the cooling i have on mine (at least i belive that's why)

mine has 3 smaller fans.

 

Anything i've written between the * and * is not meant to be taken seriously.

keep in mind that helping with problems is hard if you aren't specific and detailed.

i'm also not a professional, (yet) so make sure to personally verify important information as i could be wrong.

I just ran the test with an open case and the fan at 100%. The temperature does not exceed 61 degrees.

 

Are you sure this may not be the fault of the card?

In that situation yes unless you see your CPU at 100% load and the card at 50% load.

It is possible that out of the box it has more restrictive power limit than other cards due to its size

Can you explain to me how it works? The temperature dicates when it downclocks, but I never exceeded 61 C degrees, so why should it perform worse?

boost clocks can be highly temperature dependant. 

 

the fact opening the sidepanel fixes this points to something limiting clocks.
