[SOLVED] I9 10850k low score on 3dmark

[TomAttias]

Hi,

I have I9 10850k and i get score of 10655 on 3dmark

Someone know how to fix it?

i just did benchmark this is the result.

im mostly playing csgo (1080p) and this is my cpu usage seems to be low usage i dont know why

my specs:

mobo rog strix z490 gaming-G.

I9 10850k.

Rtx 3070 gaming OC.

ram 2x8 16gb 3200mhz 16cl I turn xmp on

new build or upgrade?

new build or upgrade?

i build this pc 3months ago.
already upgrate my gpu from rtx 2070 super to 3070. and upgrate my cpu from i5 10600 to i9 10850k

There's nothing that needs fixing.
3D Mark is a place for people to flaunt their e-peens by pushing or abusing the crap out of their hardware.
You shouldn't expect an above average result when you haven't done anything with it. Out of box and default settings = average results.

CS:GO uses like 3-4 cpu threads. The game engine wasn't designed to use more than that, so of course cpu usage is going to be low.
That's 16-17 threads doing nothing.

thanks for ur replay.

so how you explain when i google my cpu score i get this?

about my cpu that means my cpu is overkill for csgo? i could get better cpu that would give me better performace for csgo? (maybe OC my cpu to 5.0ghz?) i want 400fps stable..
i know csgo is mostly using the cpu, more than the gpu thats why i wonder how come my cpu is so low usage in game

You are wondering why your 3dmark score is only 13,400 when a googled result shows...13579?

Undoubtedly, those with the highest CS:GO frame rates are likely those from OC'd rigs running 5.3 GHz and with the highest XMP speeds, and, with the fastest GPUs, and, many even run on older versions of Windows known to give higher frame rates due to lack of security fixes, etc...

The above video shows someone with a 10850K and RTX3070, but he is using 'low'/'competitive' settings (fps ranges fluctuate from 400-650 fps), so, I'd probably investigate what those specific settings are, vice thinking that 400 fps is substandard...; merely specifying 1080P might not quite be an apples-to-apples' comparison. (I see references to his 3600 MHz XMP speeds, but, no specific GPU speeds or CPU speeds listed)

my 3dmark score is 10655 & googled result is 13k+ thats a significant difference..

 

[stylinspeak]

I think what he is talking about is the CPU score he received was 10655 and the combined score was 13579. The CPU score seen in Google is most likely what the CPU can do when overclocked. If you haven't overclocked, you're not going to get those numbers. It's that simple.

According to the video mdd1963 posted, you aren't going to get a consistent 400 fps on high settings. You will need to be on lower/competitive settings.

What am I supposed to take from that picture? It leaves so much info off the table, that it has me confused...
Oh wait:
3D Mark Timespy Physics Score: 13579, 12213, 10958, 9673... The Physics Test is one part of the entire 3D Mark test.
That's misleading as all heck. Bad Google Search, bad!

I gotta break this down - pardon the multi quotes:

my cpu is overkill for csgo?

If the game engine only utilizes 3-4 cpu threads, a 10850K has 20, and CS:GO is all you play...

i could get better cpu that would give me better performace for csgo?

This cpu is darn good already - the best out of box performer of Intel's current lineup, which is no slouch at all, by the way. Ryzen 5000 is the only thing that would give it any competition at the moment.

(maybe OC my cpu to 5.0ghz?)

When CS:GO is more dependent on single thread performance, that would do more harm than good; the 10850K can boost up to 5.2ghz when it isn't fully loaded. You won't see that kind of boost behavior when running 3D Mark or most other stress tests.

i want 400fps stable..

I can't help you there, as I'm not THAT familiar with this game. What little I do know about it:
1)The already mentioned low thread usage
2)Some competitive players take this game, drop resolution to 720p and 4:3 aspect ratio, and max out the draw/view distance to maximize fps. This makes the game even more heavily reliant on cpu single thread performance and ram frequency(3200+) and timings(lower is better).
3)The gpu doesn't matter as much either. Even less so at 720p res and 4:3 AR.
4)Valve's Source Engine, which CS:GO runs on, actually favors AMD cpus. No, I'm not telling you to go out and change your hardware. Yours is still fine, you likely just need to change some settings, though I don't know what all of them are.

i know csgo is mostly using the cpu, more than the gpu thats why i wonder how come my cpu is so low usage in game

I already told you why: 3-4 threads out of 20.
When you look at cpu usage on the HUD, it's showing usage of the cpu as a whole. That's not the accurate way to do it.

 

[stylinspeak]

The other thing is you have a 144 Hz monitor. If you are constantly getting 400 FPS and you are using G-sync, I can't imagine that there wouldn't be some insane screen tearing going on which really doesn't give you the smoothest gameplay. According to what I know, it just gives you the lowest input latency having the FPS that high. But from what I have read, the best quality gaming experience with the smoothest video is capping your FPS at what your monitor can handle when using G-sync, which for you would be 140 fps. Without G-sync, then you can have higher. Someone with more experience in this area can correct me if I am wrong, however.

thanks agian for ur replay & for the detailed explanation.

all this settings i did already..
4:3 aspect ratio, res is 1280x960, all video settings is LOW, and i still cant get stable 400fps...

as you can see in the video mdd1963 shared his fps in csgo almost never go under 400..
mine is 70% of the time at 400fps.
25% 360-380.
and 5% 320.

i think i can get better performance in game i just dont know how

Anyway I just wanted to be sure that my processor gives its maximum benefit

Exactly this.

6 weeks ago I dialed in my new PC... ran all the benchmarks including 3DMark, flexed and felt good... and haven't ran them since.

Variable scores mean very little. I've seen 1000-2000pt differences in scores from an overclock being just a little too high... not high enough to crash the system but high enough to cause errors which tank your score.

Doesn't matter and isn't worth stressing over.

P.S.

Not to ruin your day OP...

Hi,

I have I9 10850k and i get score of 10655 on 3dmark

I broke 20k with mine with a CPU score close to 15k.

https://www.3dmark.com/spy/17188357

The difference is the 3070 vs the 3090 and to a much lesser degree the 10850k vs the 10900k.

 

[TomAttias]

I broke 20k with mine with a CPU score close to 15k.

do you OC ur cpu to get that score?

How can it be that my CPU reaches up to 5.2ghz on the paper and in Benchmark the maximum it reached was 4.8ghz

as you can see in the video @mdd1963 shared his fps in csgo almost never go under 400..

That clip was less than 3 minutes and in a single map.
-It dropped while loading in to the map: doesn't matter.
-It dropped when killed: doesn't matter.
-It dropped when turning: that's the most significant one.
-Maps: As I said before, I'm not that familiar with the game, so I don't know how performance is from one map to another - I know some are worse than others.
-It also appears to drop when switching/reloading weapon: I doubt this is anywhere near as significant as turning.

Of course. 3090 too. The speeds show on the result.
