    Question Confusingly low benchmark score for new GPU/PSU/CPU, is my motherboard the culprit?

    i am using a wraith stealth cooler. this is the problem. anyone have a recommendation for a 5700x cooler that isn't too big?

    be benchmark complete. did not get past 90% cpu util, temps didn't get past 66c

    Question Confusingly low benchmark score for new GPU/PSU/CPU, is my motherboard the culprit?

    fixed that already, i heard you don't worry. i've never noticed high temps on the CPU, but i'll test real quick for you via cinebench

    https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/64957926 here is the link (ignore the drive failures, they work fine. think it was a write permissions issue)

    Question Confusingly low benchmark score for new GPU/PSU/CPU, is my motherboard the culprit?

    GPU is suspiciously cool and doesn't get beyond 60C under 100% load. Another indicator perhaps?

    Question Confusingly low benchmark score for new GPU/PSU/CPU, is my motherboard the culprit?

    I put cinebench benchmarks at the top. I am at work and unable to run again.. but these were ran 3 times so scores are accurate.

    Question Confusingly low benchmark score for new GPU/PSU/CPU, is my motherboard the culprit?

    Bumping this. To reiterate the GPU/CPU functions fine.. but i'm concerned I might be due for a motherboard upgrade. I have had this AB350 for 5 years. Any thoughts on that lifespan? Could an older motherboard be responsible for hardware that is functioning but benchmarking low/could be...

    Question Confusingly low benchmark score for new GPU/PSU/CPU, is my motherboard the culprit?

    I got the 6600 to see if my previous bugginess with DX12 and Vulkan was caused by my GPU (it was) My previous GPU was a 2060. I said the 2070 score to give a reference point from what Cinebench scores GPUs.

    Question Confusingly low benchmark score for new GPU/PSU/CPU, is my motherboard the culprit?

    Hey all, posting to confirm my suspicions of a motherboard that needs replaced. I recently upgraded my GPU, CPU, and PSU. When testing in cinebench, I received confusingly low benchmark scores for my GPU. (I will post my CPU scores as well for clarity). I'm wondering if my motherboard is the...

    Question GPU requires underclocking for DX12 and Vulkan game engines

    and also to add on, I work in IT and have discussed this with coworkers and nobody has any clue WHY a card would just crash on dx12 / vulkan if it runs fine on normal clock dx11... aside from it being too heavy a load. So I empathize with your statement that it doesn't make sense. I didn't...

    Question GPU requires underclocking for DX12 and Vulkan game engines

    That's the thing, I don't care less about the RTX features. Just provided that info in case it was relevant or indicative or a failed card. The main thing is that because it can't handle DX12 and Vulkan im concerned the card is underperforming in general / want it to work as the game i play is...
