I manged to improve my score by setting Hardware accelerated GPU scheduling on.

Yes, fresh install of Win11

I'm not comparing to other peoples' score though, I'm just comparing to my own result. Unless you're saying the calculated score is based on benchmark scores from all users at the time?

Hi all, I recently upgraded my platform from: Asus Z-390 Prime with i7-9700KF and 32GB DDR4 3200MHz CL16 to Asus Z-790 Prime with i5-13600KF and 32GB DDR5 6000MHz CL32 My current platform supports resizable bar so that's enabled. I've kept the same Asus TUF RTX3080 10GB. In January I...

Thanks, that was it(y)

Is it normal for 3DMark benchmark scores to be lower with Afterburner running? Afterburner not running (GPU score: 17 806 ) with Afterburner running (GPU score: 15 768 ) I have an RTX 3080 and i7-9700KF. Also, with Afterburner running frame rates are capped to 100FPS during the tests. See...

Anyone else having issues with the Win11 Image created with Rufus? I got a compatibility report error: The upgrade option isn't available if you start your computer using the installation media. Please remove the installation media and restart your computer. After the computer has started...

I've upgraded my case to a Phanteks P400a, now the GPU remains around 70C with fan speeds at around 45%. Cooler and silent. I never budgeted for a new case when I upgraded my GPU!

Might be worth trying without the exhaust fan first. Depending on the internal arrangement and case vents, that fan could divert airflow up away from the GPU, where it might normally pass out through the vents at the back of the GPU. More front intake fans are best I believe

These cards aren't that old, how long have you had it? Would be surprised if the paste dried up, unless it was badly applied at the factory. Do you have much space around the card for air to circulate?

Just heard back from Asus tech support regarding a similar question regarding my 1080Ti: You need to look for the general temperature and not the hotspot temperature. and 77 degrees under load is normal for the graphic card.

Yes, thanks. I've been looking. A review of a Phanteks case showed the difference in temp between the open case and a closed one was only 2C, and they said that wan't a great result!

I went for a cheap one with a closed front panel: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01MSE3M3W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It was fine with my 1070Ti, that stayed at 70C with lower fans speeds.

I replaced the thermal paste, gave the PCB and heatsink a quick blast with compressed air and there was no difference at all. Looks like the issue is the airflow in my case: Running MS Flight Sim: With closed case: 72C with fans at 68% With open case: 64C with fans at 48% Fan noise above...

Just have the one running 1080p at 144Hz My issue seems to be resolved now, I think Prefer Max Performance was set globally. Looking at JayzTwoCents video on the cooling of this card, it should run at 65C under load, without excessive fan speeds, so I think a deep clean is needed.
