I have a RX 480 paired with an i5 6600k that should be able to break the 10,000s in firestrikewithout too much difficulty,  however I'm not able to get much more than 8000. When I compare this to other similar PCs with the same hardware I get the same physics score but with a much smaller graphics score. I have a freesync monitor but I disable both freesync and v-sync so I don't think that could be the issue. I even overclocked my gpu and cpu mildly but still no luck. I think the issue is in the gpu but I don't know what would make it run that slow. Any ideas?

check your drivers and update them if needed.  Use the disk that came with the card btw.

Bios settings put it in "quiet" mode or something? IDK
