Question Low GPU score on 3DMark

[Gio_]

I have a GTX 1050 Ti and I just did a benchmark on 3DMark and I got 590 when the average is 2483. What's wrong? Why is my score so low?

CPU: Intel I5-7600
RAM: 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance
Motherboard: MSI H270 Gaming Pro Carbon
Power Supply: 650W Mars Gaming MPII650

Please list the rest of your computer specs including:

• CPU
• RAM (what type, amount per stick)
• Motherboard (manufacturer and model)
• Power supply (manufacturer and model, it should be on the sticker)

If you bought a pre-built computer, you can say the company, model, and about when you bought it if you don't know the exact specifics.

So a few things to try off the top of my head

• Make sure 3DMark is running on the video card and not the IGPU. Easiest way to do this is to make sure your primary monitor isn't plugged into the iGPU
• Update/Reinstall the video card drivers

So what i got from searching around is that my GPU BIOS has a limit on the memory, so if I overclock to more than 1900Mhz, it just goes down to 202. So im currently just overclocking to just below 1900Mhz, i dont know if there's any easy way to bypass this lock tho.
