Am I getting what I paid for?

[linttRa]

I feel like missing on some performance with my system. Could anyone please validate if this is normal or should I be getting more.

 

3DMark Time spy results (everyone with similar system is getting above 12 000 score and I'm getting):
Time spy score: 11 414
Graphic score: 11 761
CPU Score: 9 755
CPU test: 32.87 FPS
Graphics test 1: 74.77 FPS
Graphics test 2: 68.96 FPS

 

Unigine Heaven results (quality: Ultra, Tessellation: Extreme, 8xAA, Direct3D11, res: full HD)
FPS: 146.6
Score: 3693
Min FPS: 9.4
Max FPS: 296

 

In games like GTA V and Rainbow six siege I'm averaging at around 120 FPS and 270 FPS, but according to gpucheck I should be getting with Rainbow six siege 308 avg FPS and GTA V 136 avg FPS.

 

System (everything stock):
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
Asus GeForce RTX 2080 Super ROG Strix A8G
G.skill Trident Z 16GB 3600MHz CL16 (D.O.C.P enabled)
Asus rog strix x470 Gaming-F

These kinds of things are somewhat variable by things as simple as room temperature and PC cooling.  Modern hardware varies it’s speed in real time according to what it can perform at at that particular moment.  You’re not living in lab conditions.

Right I probably should have given my setup and rooms temps, but still why would I get lower score than everyone else on 3Dmark?

 

Case is Lian Li pc o-11 dynamic with three Noctua NF-F12 PWM, room temp is around 19c, cpu running with stock cooler and noctua NT-H1 thermal past.

You should be at least in the pack then.  I don’t know.  Might be a bunch of things.  Is anything thermal throttling?

Well GPU reaching 60c max in heaven benchmark and in mid 50s with 3DMark. CPU reaching low 70s in 3DMark sometimes it jumps to high 70 while playing high demanding games like GTA V. Oddly enough sometimes the CPU jumps to 60c while browsing and doing normal tasks and this is not only with this issue according to others its normal so I don't really know

[Bombastinator]

Sounds like neither is thermal throttling or reaching max load either, though they may be getting close.  The spiking I’ve heard of too.  It’s apparently an AMD thing.

I assume this is 1080p gaming?

Because the vast majority of Time Spy scores are from overclocked systems, you're 1k down on the WR which isn't really a lot if you're running stock.

Yes with an old benq monitor, but i don't enable v-sync

Interesting someone said similar thing in Tom's Hardware forums.

Because most people using 3Dmark are using Overclocked systems, and are testing it out trying to get higher scores. Everyone's computer is different, you could build two identical systems down to the screws and still have varying results in benchmarks between the two. If you aren't having drops or issues then you shouldn't worry about it.

Well it's true. If i was only 1k down running stock i'd be chuffed

 

Don't run much stock though

Okay. What about these Heaven benchmark min frames. Is 9.4 normal?

[glenalz81]

Let Heaven run the demo mode half way through then start the benchmark, usually brings min fps up. Not uncommon to see that.

What do you guys think about UserBenchmark is it reliable? Here are the results: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/22097034

Okay will do

Not great for CPU comparisons but decent enough to see how your PC is doing overall.

Update: I ran fire strike 1.1 and scored 24 038. 1st score is 25 603 and the 932nd score is 22 648 so I'm pretty happy with the results. Max temp of the GPU 58c and max of the CPU was 74c at the end
