new 2080 ti performing not-so-good

[Daeyve]

3900x, Acer 2080 ti dual OC advanced edition, asus gaming plus x570, trident z 3600mhz C17, 

 

Ran a heaven benchtest on ultra, I was outperformed by a dude running a 2070 on a 2700x. Needless to say I'm a little surprised. latest driver is installed as well.

I mean I knew I wasn't going to reach top pages with AMD processor, but really? page 37 between people running an 1080s and vega's?

getting bad performance in games also? or just benchmarks?

I would check my thermals, drivers etc to make sure everything is in order, the clock behaviour of the card under load can be helpful as well. There is the other possibility, that the person with a 2070 super and 2700x posted those results with a chiller or other setup and a strong overclock. Don't get too hung up on one result, check what other 2080 ti cards are benching on average through multiple sources. I have a 3900x and 2080 myself so I'll run the benchmark and compare to see if your numbers seem low.

 

edit: I don't normally use Heaven and it's being a bitch to run at the moment with missing files etc soo...

ah yes that would help a lot. in terms of thermals, it never went past 74 degrees, so no thermal throttling,right? It's my understanding that that only happens at 90 degrees and up. It does impact boost clocks, but not in the 70 degree range does it?

just benchmarks, I also have another post in TROUBLESHOOT where I realized I probably have to install win 10, so wasn't gonna needlessly install games on a 10 mbps connection if I'm gonna redo the windows install anyway

this is why I keep my game libraries off my primary system drive

That's cause he was running at lower settings...I see the same thing if I run max settings and minimum settings in Heaven benchmark.  Heaven benchmark apparently doesn't take into account the settings like you would think.  If you change the settings to the minimum...then run Heaven benchmark...what is your score?  I bet you a dime it's MUCH improved.  

 

For what it's worth...it's a good idea to keep different content on different drives...like OS/Apps on one drive and games on a separate drive...and media on another.  Put your games on your fastest drive by themselves if you want best performance in game.  It's not noticeable in all games, but in LARGE open world games it's night and day difference.  There's a reason, beyond load times, that both Sony and Microsoft are moving to NVMe SSD drives in their new consoles.

I always use D drive for games, I have 2 kingston A2000 nvme drives. a 500gb for OS and a 1000GB for games. I will run heaven on lower settings and check the score, thanks

[Daeyve]

Ok I did, and yes, significant impact on score like you said. What's strange though is this, in the benchmark it says it's utilizing 4095gb from the 2080, when that should be 11gb? 

 

Eh, either way, I'm good with it, I'm just going to see how it performs when I put W10 and some games on it.

What settings did you use?  Try like 0 alias, custom pixel count of 900x700 and lowest presets...then run again.

Not strange at all.

Both my 2080 tis show the same.

Fair enough, then I can be at ease
