GTX 1080 Ti not working at full capacity? Low 3Dmark score

[allardtimmermans]

Hi guys,

So i just build a new system and im testing it out. Here are the specs:

Windows 10 64 bit
CPU: Threadripper 2950x @ 4.1 ghz (OC)
Gigabyte x399 Designare motherboard
GPU: EVGA GTX 1080 ti SC2
64 DDR4 Gskills RAM 3200 mhz
1000 watt Corsair PSU
I put my videocard tot the 3Dmark benchmark..and Im getting a pretty low score.

Which isnt even close of what most 1080ti should be getting according to this page
https://benchmarks.ul.com/hardware/gpu/NVIDIA+GeForce+GTX+1080+Ti/review?_ga=2.168369320.823266796.1537448230-1572476702.1537448230

So i also ran a benchmark with nova bench.. and the GPU scores a 717 there, where most 1080ti's are scoring around 960...

So im thinking its not working as it should.. Im might be missing a setting or something i dont know. It's not overclocked or anything. Just out of the box.

This is what I checked:
- reseated the card in another PCIe slot, checked that it was in a working PCIe x16 3.0 lane
- latest Nvidia drivers
- latest windows drivers

here is the GPU-Z info of the card

Can you guys point me in the direction of what I might be doing wrong?

Thank you in advance

3D Mark what?

Post the results link.

It's timespy. I found the result. https://www.3dmark.com/spy/4447128

It's a normal score as my Asus GTX 1080 ti Strix OC edition scores 10,059 without a manual overclock.

Yeah my GTX 1080Ti FTW3 does around 10,036 stock also.....

As you said... NORMAL.

The op is right about nova bench though. The score is a little low there. I don't know why. The 3dmark timespy score is right on. I would say as long as you're not getting poor performance in games you should be good. I would sAY IT PROBABLY HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH BOOST MODE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AT THAT MOMENT WITH NOVA BENCH.

Hey guys,

Thank you for your replies... Good to hear that its a normal score.
But im still not sure how other GTX 1080ti cards, can score almost 3 times as much as my card, according to this site

https://benchmarks.ul.com/hardware/gpu/NVIDIA+GeForce+GTX+1080+Ti/review?_ga=2.168369320.823266796.1537448230-1572476702.1537448230

But...that score might me based on another test?
