[SOLVED] I recently built my first pc and my gpu hasn't been performing fully.

I built my pc about a month ago and everything was mostly fine but, one day I ran a benchmark and saw that my gpu (a zotac rtx 2060 super.) was performing worse than expected. The benchmark I used, Userbenchmark gave my gpu a 3d score of 98% the first time I benchmarked it. (It was at stock frequencies.) When I ran the benchmark that day, it got a 3D score of 90% on stock. I was surprised so I decided to overclock my gpu. I used the OC scanner that is available to rtx card owners and I think I got a decent Overclock. After running the bench again, I got a score of 95%. The only things that have changed since I first booted the Pc up are that I have changed which display port I have connected to my gpu and I have downloaded a lot of files such as games and documents. I also tried to update the BIOS and this didn't seem to change the scores. I have also noticed that some games aren't running at as many frames as they did before. Are there any tips that you can give me to troubleshoot my gpu? Thanks! (Also, the overclock has been really stable and I haven't had any games crash.)https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/21714629

Install all of these. Ignore the RAID drivers on the AMD website and install ONLY the chipset driver.

You will need to download these drivers and where they are zip files, unzip them to a a folder of your choice and then run them from there.

AMD Chipset driver for X570.

Intel LAN driver:

These are the only motherboard related drivers you need to install and most of it is contained in the AMD All In One chipset driver package. The Intel LAN driver is the only other required driver you need to install.

Any drivers for specialized keyboard, mouse or other peripherals you should source from the manufacturer of that hardware.

Thanks so much for the help!

Okay cool, I installed them both.

Any improvement?

 

[ANewPCBuilder]

Yeah there has been a little improvement in userbench but my games are smooth as butter!

Well, that's the most important thing. Benchmarks are only important if something is REALLY off, and then only as a method of finding out that something is really off.

Okay thanks!!!
