Question My PC is extremely underperforming than expected.

I was playing video games and I noticed that my frame rates has been lower than usual. I used the UserBenchmarking and I was told that my PC is in the 21st Percentile compared to other builds that are the same. Here are my results and Im looking for any kind of help.

UserBenchmarks: Game 155%, Desk 101%, Work 157%
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X - 88.8%
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3080 - 174.7%
SSD: Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVMe PCIe M.2 1TB - 255.2%
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB (2018) - 72.6%
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws V DDR4 3600 C18 4x8GB - 93.8%
MBD: MSI MPG B550 GAMING EDGE WIFI (MS-7C91)

Update the bios and mobo drivers.....test.

Clear off another 80GB from the OS disk....test.

Run ubm like this.
Reboot.
Wait a few mins.
Run ubm with the browser closed.
Post a LINK to the results page.

What is your PSU? Make, model, and how long have you had it.

You have to take UBM with a grain of salt and look at each part by themself. You also have to look at if your running stock settings your going to be in the middle of the chart as there are plenty of other scores from overclockers.

Just for example on your CPU, you are basing your CPU off of 128,080 other 5800x's and a lot of them are overclocked. Look at your score vs someone that just posted 40 min ago (time of writing)

His bench was 112% 97th percentile but his base clock was 4.7GHz with turbo 4.7GHz your was Base 3.8GHz turbo 4.45GHz.

AMD his heavy on ram your 3600MHz CL18 4x 8GB, 4 sticks tax the memory controller 93.8% 42nd percentile
His 3600MHz clocked at 3666MHz CL16 2x8GB, faster ram tighter timings only 2 sticks, 98.1% 54th percentile


I did notice that you have an outdated GPU driver, make sure EVERYthing is up to date. Windows, BIOS, all MB and GPU drivers. Just because a game played good 2-3 months ago doesn't mean the developers didn't put out an update for the game, which then means Nvidia put out a new driver to support that update.

Your NVMe drive should have a minimum of 200GB free or 20% of the full drive. I could not find anything from Samsung on this, but i did find an article from Kingston from 2023 that stated "The operating system needs around 20% of the SSD space to be free for it to function properly."
