So I'm fairly familiar with computers, but this has me stumped.
I've brought this to other IT people and they've been stumped. I've gone to r/techsupport r/overclocking and r/gpumining and never been able to get an answer (though people did attempt to help).
Here's my issue, please see my benchmark scores:
https://www.3dmark.com/compare/pr/1006968/pr/994218/pr/994237/pr/996740
Now this issue started on my old pc. I noticed my 3090 started performing...worse. (I don't know how much crypto mining is enjoyed / hated here, but that's where I first noticed it).
Running a couple benchmarks confirmed it as well as my gaming performance had dropped. I never push it very hard while mining, but usually hit 110mh. Now I hit 90 - 95mh which is the same as a 3080.
So I was already planning on building a new PC. So once my new pc was built, I noticed that my benchmark scores were still bad.
Assumed my GPU must be bad, contacted EVGA whom sent me a new 3090 to replace mine. Day 1 scores are the good scores from the above posted link.
The other 2 scores are a few days after. No crypto mining has been done on this card up to that point. No overclocking, everything was default in all of those benchmark tests.
I've also tried leaving it turned off for a whole day, then immediately doing a benchmark test to see if it just had issues running for long periods.
My current PC specs are shown in the 3dmark test but just for reference:
z590 taichi
11900k (I know)
evga ftw3 ultra 3090
CPU is water cooled, GPU is air cooled.
While running benchmark / crypto mine, GPUz and hwinfo both show no throttling,
My temperatures never hit any crazy numbers (I don't have anything written down unfortunately, I'll try and watch it again next time I test).
I'm at a complete loss at this point. A completely brand new computer doesn't resolve it. I thought maybe it was my power supply since I salvaged only that and my ram from my previous PC. Replaced the PSU today but still no success.
Anyone have any other tips for me? Thanks in advance
After vBIOS update from evga:

(basically no difference)
