Question Is my Asus RTX 5080 Prime OC holding back..?

[sharpshotter]

Hey!

Im a pretty dedicated gamer, and was lucky enough to get my hands on a 5080 (while actually trying to buy the 5070ti), and im wondering if this is a normal score for the gpu.. I´ve seen countless posts about the score being closer to 35k on the graphics side without OC or anything.

Also, im aware that the ryzen 7600 bottleneck 10-15% while gaming in 1440p, but that shouldnt really be visable in this test, - right? (With the separated gpu performance)

Anyway. Im hoping someone can give me some guidance here cuz im not really sure what to do.

EDIT: I own the ASUS RTX 5080 Prime OC

Hmm! thats weird. Most benchmarks ive seen (fr. swedish reviewers) seem to point at a higher graphical score. This card was sold as msrp over here as well, so I guess we got lucky!

BIOS up to date of your motherboard?
drivers from nvidia as well?

BIOS is up to date, and the nvidia drivers as well. Fan-wise I have a decent setup with 3 front fans, 2 top, 1 exhaust all aligned correctly. The cpu never exceeds 65 degrees celsius, and the gpu had a top at like 75 degrees for a moment, otherwise at around 70.

Im wondering if armorycrate and icue might interfere? Or something else running in the background?

And this 10-15% number comes from...where?

Well, thats pretty much what people are writing in other forums. Im not so sure. But I´ve also benchmarked according to these tests just to try to make sense of it. Link to FE performance (which should be lower than the prime OC) but paired with a AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D instead. The rest is also way better than my current setup, but shouldnt give that much of an impact.

Cyberpunk benchmark is with the ultra (out of the box preset), horizon and starfield are the same "routes" as the reviewers are running. Same graphics settings.

what was the hardware of the review.

also if you have armour crate installed you may need to implement game mode. as it can throttle hardware.

Ahh, gamemode you say.. Gonna look it up! Thanks!

Specs of the benchmarking PC:
Seasonic Prime-TX Noctua Edition, 1 600 W
Asus ROG Crosshair X870E Hero
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
Noctua NH-D15 G2 LBC (cpu cooler)
2× 16 GB G Skill Trident Z5 NEO RGB 6 000 MHz, 28-36-36-96
Kingston Fury Renegade 2 TB

Dont know if the rest matters but here they are:
Streacom BC1 Open Benchtable (Case)
AOC U27G3X (Monitor)

Out of the box clocks, no oc or anything.

the thing to keep in mind at 1080p and 1440p the cpu is still important only when going to 4k does the cpu more or less start to put its feet up.

the score is including your cpu you can compare similar scores on that test. with someone elses.

other ways to check if cpu is holding you back in gaming for example is to see the gpu utilisation if its at 100 percent or close to it your practically got the gpu as far as it can go. some games will also swing at cpu performance more then gpu.

cyberpunk or bug punk i call likes a faster cpu and more cores at least from my testing i get less hitching.
