Despite my current build being fairly substantial on paper, the benchmarks I'm getting are truly awful. According to userbenchmark, 'out of 100 PCs with exactly the same components, 99 performed better. ' Other benchmarks I tried are showing similar results. This is after I just upgraded to a geforce rtx 3080! Apparently, ALL my components are performing badly, even including the gpu. Each component is in the bottom 2 percentile or worse. What is going on? How is it even possible to run your PC as badly as this?

https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/52527596 (new test with low background CPU. Now only 97 out of 100 PCs do better, yay..)

If anyone has any idea what I could be messing up here, or what could be the problem, please tell me. It's quite dismaying when the game you upgrade your gpu to play (Atelier Sophie 2) still has the same bad performance after you spend a thousand dollars X_X.
(Also, since I can see this coming up, I did install the latest drivers with geforce experience already)
