GPU is underperforming in Furmark?

[burduli]

Okay, I know, Furmark isn't the best software when it comes to testing a GPU, but I'm still confused. I have EVGA RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 Ultra. I just ran Furmark at 1080p and I got 160fps max. Here's the screenshot. This guy on YouTube is getting almost twice as much, with the same GPU.

 

I'm also getting much higher temps, but I'm honestly not worrying about that for now.

 

Any ideas what might be the issue?

Did you attempt any other task or is the machine built for only running furmark

Assume that it is built only for running Furmark

Then my recommendation would be to not worry about it as the machine is not doing a task worth doing diagnostics for.

Indeed. Furmark is not something I'd ever use to assess performance.

 

Can you try some actual benchmarks that produce a score or average FPS and then we can see if you have a real performance problem.

I use superposition for my Gpu benchmarks.

Well what were the rest of his specs, what are your specs, what settings are you using in furmark, and what settings is he using in furmark?

3Dmark demo is free on Steam. Furmark is not an effective benchmark.

It's really not good, but 1 thing it does by design, make your GPU run really hot..and 3080 ftw3 is notoriously known for thermal issues, especially on the Vram (not to confuse with vrm)

 

Do you see now why furmark is bad.....?  

 

Try proper testing software like 3dmark or Superposition for example.

The issue is there is no issue, because you expect power-virus benchmark that makes your GPU warmer than other person's get more fps.

 

Furmark is designed to try it's best to make the GPU as hot as possible testing the stability when forcing all that power and testing how well it manages to cool itself.

There is no issue, your GPU is ok, YOU have new version of FurMark 2 and that one is more demanding, try the older version FurMark 1, the guy on Youtube is using that one, when you compare hardware try to do it on same version of software here is the link https://geeks3d.com/furmark/downloads/ try v1.39.0.0

 

Your version v2.7.0.0

Youtube guy version v1.22.1.0

Thank you everyone. I installed 3DMark and ran the Steel Nomad benchmark. My GPU is indeed fine as it scored above average.
