GPU Under Performing

[dizzyOfficer678]

Hey All, 

I have a Sapphire Pulse Radeon RX 5500xt 8gb and it seems to be underperforming. I dont have it overclocked and its paired with a Ryzen 3 3200g(original build used the integrated graphics).

Is there a chance the CPU is bottlenecking the GPU?

Or is there anything else that could be wrong?

what's wrong is you're using userbenchmark, which is a highly unrealiable benchmarking tool.

What would you recommend to use instead?

As @boggy77said user bench mark is a 100% no go. The fact that they have a DX9 benchmark is deplorable. Use 3D mark Timespy or firestrike, Unigine Super position, any more recent game that has a benchmarking tool.

cinebench for cpu, timepsy, firestrike, heaven for gpu.

or just play your game and compare your fps with what the reviews say for your gpu or with others with similar systems.

Timespy *and* Firestrike 

 

 

then > "compare to same hardware"

cinebench, similar to userbenchmark uses unrealistic workloads, a cpu that's "great" in cinebench can be shit in games... 

 

I know it's popular for overclockers, and that's fine, not a good tool to measure performance however.
