Why is my Rig under preforming?

[Oryzaki]

So recently I ran some benchmarks with a couple of friends of mine and I got pretty low scores. In Cinebench r15 I was getting a max of 80fps and in heaven, I was getting a max of 113.5. These scores were well under the scores other reported. These people were getting 116fps in Cinebench and a max of 130fps in heaven. Can anyone explain why?

 

Specs: 

Gtx 1080 FE Overclocked to 2100Mhz on the core and 5225Mhz on the memory.

R7 1700 Overclocked to 3.65 GHz

Asus Prime Motherboard 

8gb of Viper ram at 2133Mhz

512gb NVME

800watt 80+ gold EVGA power supply

 

Heaven Benchmark:

Ultra 1080p Extream tessellation 8x anti-aliasing

Are you sure they're running at the same settings?

Try running at stock clocks first to get a base score.

[Oryzaki]

yes, I based my settings on theirs. 

[Oryzaki]

I ran at stock clocks the results were 74 on cinebench and 103 on heaven

Try updating your motherboard bios.

Did a quick test on my, no OC, stock settings.

[Oryzaki]

Okay I will and then I will re-test.

[Oryzaki]

Okay I updated the MB bios and no change in cinebench heaven went to 116.5 frames

Are you monitoring temps while benchmarking?  CPU/GPU speeds?  Might you be thermal throttling?

 

 

[Oryzaki]

GTX 1080 was at 77c max running full clock speed but i didn't monitor the r7 1700 as it is water cooled and i didn't think it would thermal throttle but let me check.

just monitored them but they were fine 44c on the cpu 38c on the gpu

My next line of checking would be for background programs, services, etc.  Something might be eating into the system resources that isn't obvious.  Also, you may have malware, or if you aren't running a legit copy of Windows 10, those can all lend to performance drops.

These were the first things i checked so regrettably no cigar

So it went up by 3 fps from 113. What asus board do you have? Did you monitor the clock speed when running cb15?

Asus Prime 370x-Pro Yes the clock speeds were 3641 on all cores.

Maybe these will be useful

Also just tried to run the cinebench CPU benchmark and it only makes it halfway before the application spits out an error and crashes.

I see your problem, it's that video(4).mov showing a pig. It's probably hogging all of your resources. Move video away from desktop and that might fix your problem.

 

Your ram is at single channel, are they in the right slots?

And cpu-z can be opened up multiple times, withing a single screenshot.

I have only one stick of ram hence the single channel and I fixed some overclock instability and cinebench now runs properly. Also i did not know that you can open cpu-z multiple times thank you for that. A score of 1400 at 3.7 GHz but opengl is still in the high 70s.

So cpu is working properly, but gpu still isn't?

Seems that way.

Try the card in the 2nd x16 slot.
