Site always shows your GPU drivers are out of date, even if you got them yesterday. Its basically there to trick people into using driver booster.

I just ran it for a joke. I wasn't expecting it to reject card completely like that.

How's the coil whine on your 7900? It was bad on mine. I ended up with the 4080 founders editions, there is very slight whine there but well within the range of acceptable.

So far It is quiet. I have things I have to do before I will let myself play a game, but in the benchmarks I ran all I heard was fans ramp up.

I don't know what coil whine sounds like. I have watched videos on it and even with my noise cancelling headset, I still can't hear anything. It might mean I have it now and didn't know. My friend who installed it with me, said it only had slight whine and with side panel on, I shouldn't hear it.

My PC is between me and window, so I am back to thinking any noise I hear is PC. I turned PC off last night and a noise I thought was my PC was still there after PC was off. I went through this for about a year after building PC.

3Dmark makes my PC seem way better than it is.


I got 4 legendary scores on 4 different tests before I found out why.
No one else has the same CPU/GPU combo as I do. So top scores out of box.

Seems I am running the OC bios but I think it comes set to that as default.
I haven't played with making card faster, its already slaughtered my last GPU in one test.

Swapped to an ASUS Z790-P motherboard. Which apparently has higher RAM speed (5600MHz vs 4800MHz ). I'm assuming that's at stock or something as both technically should be able to do at least 6000mhz. Will see how it goes and update here.

24 hours now with XMP enabled and no crashes since changing the motherboard. The culprit was the Gigabyte Z690 Gaming X motherboard not handling XMP 5600mhz correctly.

Updating for anyone with a similar issue, maybe it will help.
