Is this a good benchmark?

[Emilygg]

Hi i built my computer yesterday, is this a good benchmark? (not OCed)

http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/3600387

I was sort of disappointed with the results but idk
The GPU was one of the cheaper RX 480s and I'm not sure why the CPU is below expectations though.

THanks

Either you didn't overclock it, or the 1600 is as bad as I thought it was.

It's not overclocked

That most likely means that most benchmarks of the 1600 were of overclocked ones.

Hi,

The GPU was one of the cheaper RX 480s and I'm not sure why the CPU is below expectations though.

Don't worry, any RX 480 will do very good in any games - even in Crysis 3, not to forget BF1, Metro 2033 COD all of them plus Far Cry series all of them.
This is what I have so...

Now, what is happening over there?

My suggestion as always:
Every time one has a new Windows (due to a new computer or a fresh Windows installation), do the following:

1. Start > Settings > Update & security > Windows update => Search for updates.
If updates is being installed, just wait and restart the computer when it says so.

2. Repeat until there are no more updates. It could take several hours.

3. Restart the computer again and check for Windows updates and restart.

4. Install the manufacturers drivers and restart.

5. Run Windows update again and restart.
The reason is that it might be som older drivers being installed before and very important to install these first and sometimes (very often actually) the manufacturer has released WHQL drivers to the Windows database, and therefore the latest hardware driver will be installed from Windows update.

Latest AMD graphics driver: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download

Make sure that every driver for the motherboard is installed via the CD.
After that, restart the computer and run windows update again.

Plus - make sure you have attached the graphics monitor cable tor the graphics port and not to the graphics port on the motherboard.

Hi,
Get the latest graphics driver and its s/w utility directly from AMD http://support.amd.com/en-us/download

In your case that I assumed a Windows 10, 64-bit operating system with AMD RX480 graphics chip - here is the direct download link: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows+10+-+64

Whoaa
that's a lot of storage

My mobo and gpu was sort of the cheaper ones on the market in Aus, maybe that's why my benchmark isn't that great.
But i don't know... was my gpu worth it for $259 AUD? should i try to refund it and get a better one?

But I won't install this crappy benchmark tool, I suggest this for comparison and it is all for games isn't it?
Really a graphics benchmark for grapcics performance.
Unigine Heaven benchmark: https://benchmark.unigine.com/heaven
These are free.
Install, close all program and run. Dont change anything in the settings if we are to compare.
The end result will show min and max FPS and total score in points.
A tip: Don't even touch your mouse while its benchmarking.

Then
Unigine Valley Benchmark: https://benchmark.unigine.com/valleyIt will use the CPU more.

I do believe that You have a very good machine for gaming, no problem.
