Hi all,
-specs:
CPU: 2 x Intel Xeon E5-2697 V3, 14 cores
Motherboard: ASUS Z10PE-D16 WS, latest bios only, original firmware
RAM: Kingston KVR21R15D8 DDR4 2133MHz, 128 GB total in 4 sticks
PSU: be quiet! Dark Power Pro 1500 watts
GPU: Gigabyte 3090 GAMING OC 24G, original bios, however, the latest bios supports resize bar
SSD: 223GB Kingston SHPM2280P2H/240G (PCIe), latest firmware
Audio: Realtek High Definition Audio
OS: win 10 pro
-problem:
3dMark TimeSpy Graphics score 9972, it should have been double. The maximum load achieved is a bit over 60%
3dMark TimeSpy CPU score 8006
This translates to lower than expected fps in games as well.
Things I tried:
Changing power plan and performance profiles, or even the resolution from 1440p to 1080p does not change much.
OS and drivers fully updated.
I am connecting the GPU to PCIE 16x @ x16
The GPU is fed by 2 completely different cables with (6+2) pins. I am using 2 separate cables plugged into 2 separate PCIE B ports in the PSU. Each cable is 12 pins splitting into 2 x (6+2) pins.
Bios is at default settings, I can see it is boosting the CPU from 2.6GHz to 3GHz+
Thermals are all nice and cool.
-question:
Is there a hardware bottleneck or am I missing something obvious? I wasn't expecting a 50% performance drop.
