Gtx 1080 mini performance issues

[Ruddyo]

Hi Linus family.

 

Have an issue here and would love to hear some ideas or recommendations how to proceed with this.

 

So I live in Ireland myself and my friend in UK so helping him usually remotely .

PC handles all stress tests GPU, CPU, RAM for hours with no issues at all but even after clean windows 10 reinstall with all the latest drivers and bios updated his performance is lower than expected.

He purchased PC from online store and upgraded motherboard and PSU on the way.Only thing he did told me latter on that he killed his Hard drives when changing PSU because he left sata power cables From previous PSU.

Counting that all stress tests passes with no issues and software  issue it could not be what could cause the impact in performance so much ?

 

Specs

Ryzen 1700 (stock) 

16GB DDR4 3000MHZ

Zotac GTX 1080 mini (73c UNDER LOAD)

Asus Strix X370-F

eVGA 850W PSU

Samsung 860 M.2 250GB SSD

 

Any help will be much appreciated.

I don't remember if Speccy shows the JEDEC DRAM frequency, or what it actually is operating at.

~1064 MHz is just the JEDEC default, ~2133 MHz, not the XMP 3000 MHz.

This will have an impact on performance with Ryzen.

 

~3.0 GHz for the R7-1700 at stock seems about correct.

 

Possible to monitor the VRM temperature on the GTX 1080?

The VRM, or parts of the video card, is running hotter than what is being reported for the GPU core, hence not boosting as high.

It is a GTX 1080 mini after all, so the electrical components are more tightly packed, and temperatures are expected to be higher.

I think your Unigine Valley benchmark score is a bit low, I get 55-60 FPS with my i7 6700 and GTX 970.

Will try to get VRM temps from him tomorrow if that will be possible.

Screenshots are taken with RAM being at stock speeds wanted to make sure that its not instability issue.

 

Im runing i7 6700k with GTX 1080 and I got 5048 score in valley bench was expected to get as minimum 4.5k score.

 

Either way will try to get in touch with him tomorrow to get VRM temps and let you know .

 

Thanks guys in advance

It would be nice to get a full set of data using MSI afterburner. Would he be amenable to installing it and running unigine and then providing pics of the MSI AB tracings? I wonder if he is hitting a thermal limit...

 

For Ryzen systems memory speed matters, and running at 3000Mhz should provide tangible benefits above the stock 2133 Mhz

Okay sorry for delay.

Had difficulty to reach the friend.So he managed to take some screenshots from MSI Afterburner during valley benchmark.As well did add Shadow of the Tomb raider benchmark identical settings.And his ryzen build still seems failing far behind to my i7 6700k build .As well his GPU  and CPU never reaches 99% Usage even tho suffering low frame rates .

 

Enabled XMP on the ram as well and did light overclock to 3.7ghz to his build.

 

I am running out of idea what could cause this all.

which 1080 is that?

 

I didnt know a 1080 has 4gb?

[Ruddyo]

Valley benchmark always has shown 4GB of VRam of any card as far as i know.

And its Zotac GTX 1080 mini
