Low frames on new build (GPU issue)?

Browsing8000 · November 5

Right after building my computer I ran some tests with software like superposition, 3d mark and in game to try and benchmark/stress test my equipment. I noticed right away that something was not right, in shadow of the tomb raider, my average FPS is about 50 lower than others with the same GPU and a similar or worse CPU. The game says im 74% gpu bound and my minimum, average and maximum gpu frames are WAY lower than others, while the cpu seems to be where it should be.

In 3D mark time spy my gpu is scoring about 2.5k lower than where it should be, bringing my average down by close to 2k, scoring my hardware in the bottom 3% of others. I understand a good amount of people who use this software overclock their GPU/CPU but even then some of the lowest GPU scores ive seen are around 20.4k and theres no way every single one of them is overclocking (my score is here https://imgur.com/a/jYa13od ). I have run the test with and without hwinfo 64 running in the background and here are the results I screenshot after finishing the test with it running https://imgur.com/a/X7j4zZZ .

I have stress tested my RAM, CPU and GPU in OCCT (and cinebench for cpu) for about 30 minutes each and it reported 0 issues. So at this point im completely stumped and for the life of me can not figure out what is causing my frames to be way lower than they should be. I have tried the obvious stuff like re-seating the gpu, trying different PCIE cables, using DDU to install new drivers for GPU but none of it changed anything. Checked in MSI center to make sure my motherboard drivers were up to date as well. XMP for RAM is already enabled in the bios settings. If anyone could help me at all I would greatly appreciate it.
