Hi guys im really kicking myself over this because every time it comes to technology I always have bad luck. So my problem today is that my computer is getting less frames than my friend with a similar build but different GPU, mine is the 2070 Super and he has a regular 2060. I'm afraid I might have to RMA it but I hope its not the case so I'll explain to you my problem.

My build:                                                                                                Friends Build: 

MB: MSI tomahawk B450 (non MAX).                                                   MB: MSI tomahawk B450 Max

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600                                                                               CPU: Ryzen 5 3600

RAM: Corsair vengence pro RGB 2x8 3000 mhz                                  RAM: G.skill 2x8 3200 mhz

GPU: RTX 2070 Super                                                                          GPU: RTX 2060

PSU: Thermale take RBG 750 watt                                                       PSU: not sure brand but is a 600 watt

We both have two monitors, I have one connected to hdmi and dp and he has one dvi and hmdi, and I also have a 144hz monitor

 

My buddies and I game every night and recently one of my close friends decided to upgrade his system, he doesn't know much so I built him a list on pcpartpicker and he got everything I told him. So we play BO2 zombies since it was on sale and he was getting around 400+ frames while I was averaging only 200. I changed some setting around the NVIDIA CP and managed to get around 350, but still it bugs me that I had to change some settings. Also in the BIOS, my computer had my RAM at 2666 mhz instead of the 3000 max capacity and similarly the computer was not using the 4.2 ghz that was advertised. I asked my friend about his and what it said and as much as I know his computer was at 4.2 ghz not sure about the RAM. Another thing to add is that I did enable XMP and also the Game boost included in the BIOS but that crashes from time to time.

I have tried to use other games and see what comparisons I can make to the performance of the card an here's what I got:

GTA 5 gets around  70 fps while his get almost twice that

AOTennis 2 a game I only play seems to cap itself at 120-135 fps the number is constant depending on the match.

MW I get 100-175 fps raytracing off and the frames depend on the map. 

I have checked temps I don't have them since I never recorded but they were never high.

The other thing I tried is running 3DMark well the demo version idk if that will affect it but I'll include a picture I took of it, yes picture I just didn't screenshot lol I also didn't realize how bad the quality of it was. The scores themselves were lower than what others tested, I haven't used this program before but from what I can tell 500 points lower on the CPU is not normal, at least I hope, but the graphics card was also under performing but I forgot by how much.

The last thing and most recent thing I tried that was major was to reinstall windows a fresh install and as I did find a youtube video that said that it could help, but sadly it didn't. 

 

I know this was a lot but I just want to include everything to make sure it's clear what I've done and haven't done. 

 

edit: going to reseat gpu and ram

edit2: did this and now my score on 3dmark is worse
