I have i7 5930k oc to 4.3ghz recently bought a rtx 2080ti gigabyte OC gaming
I did a benchmark on userbenchmark
and I receive this message on the gpu part "Performing below expectations (36th percentile)"

does that mean I have a bottleneck ?
 
Solution
I would suspect it's the communal nature of that benchmark. Most folks are likely throwing RTX 2080 Ti cards into newer builds, rather than pairing them up with 4 year old motherboard / CPU combos. Nothing wrong with that, but it would skew the results in favor of the builds with faster CPUs.

All of your parts look like they are performing right where they should be, however since your graphics card's performance numbers are loosely tied to the other subsystems, and tightly corresponds to your CPU for much of it's performance, the simple answer is likely, a whole new build is probably the only way you're going to gain ground in the GPU percentage department.

I wouldn't be too worried about it personally.

Is your memory actually running at 3200mhz, with the XMP profile enabled, or is it at the default speed of 2133mhz? Would be a good idea to check that.

Also, the rest of the system looks pretty good. How long has that AXi unit been in service?
26% background CPU usage IS rather high. Might want to find an eliminate some processes if possible.

Overall, I would worry less about any kind of benchmark and worry more about the actual performance you are getting while in game, while also keeping in mind that this card is in it's infancy. There is no mature game support profiles or mature drivers for this card yet, so it's too early to really say what might happen in a month or two once drivers and support matures.
 
I suspect, based on the benchmark results showing that both the CPU and RAM are performing well above the average, the 26% CPU loading isn't accurate or else is unable to cause appreciable impact to the CPU benchmark. That being the case, I would suspect either everybody is running their "G.SKILL Ripjaws V DDR4 3200 C14 4x8GB" at 2133 MT/s and he's at the high end of that, or he's at the high end of the correct speed. That's the fun part about communal benchmarking like this. What's the actual base line the benchmark is gauging against?
 
ya I tried that didn't help


 


I guess that's true, although I don't much trust any of these benchmarking "sites". Nor do I trust anything found on sites like gamedebate, GPU boss, versus, CPU world, etc.

I'd much prefer to see real world results though reviews or what your own system is actually doing compared to what similar hardware on professional review sites did. I guess that's just me though.
 
Obviously, with any newer generation that has a comparable number or cores, or more cores, it's going to perform incrementally better depending on the generation of the platform. I suspect it will certainly perform better with an 8700k, than with a 7700k, than with a 6700k, although your Haswell-E with a fat overclock on it should still be fairly well represented in the overall picture.

Single core performance will be somewhat less, but shouldn't be terribly significant at that clock and with the same core count as the 8700k. There will be some different though clearly as the 8700k has at least marginally better IPC.
 
An 8700k should have both higher IPC and higher clocking results, giving you an improvement to your GPU score, but it's really only relevant to that one particular benchmark.

To be guaranteed any sort of meaningful improvement in any of your games, the conditions of the game have to favor improving your overall CPU performance. If you're already playing at high enough resolutions that your GPU's rasterization output is your limiting factor, upping the CPU is for the most part pointless, and it really doesn't matter what unrelated benchmarks tell you, as they're not measuring your system within the context you're using it. Benching a particular game will tell you your performance in the context of that game on your system. That's kinda the point of individual benchmarks.

You still can't directly compare your particular game benchmark results against others as the context of the hardware and software environment will invariably be different. Use benchmarks to spot trends and that's about it.

Of course, since every unique game engine presents a unique loading on the system, and folks don't just play hi-res games, you still might enjoy a bump in performance over your Haswell-E based CPU in other areas.
 
Check your cpu and gpu loads as you actually game.

Afterburner or some other program can show you the loads and what is bottlenecking.

Traditionally high frame rate low settings for fps will bring out a cpu bottleneck.
 
hey lepzki it appeared that my gpu fan isn't cooling very well
I bought a gigabyte Rtx 2080ti gaming OC I saw other reviews on the internet regarding thermals on this gpu and it was ranging between 36-63 degree celius
mine was between 65- 84degree since this new gpu boost clock is programmed is such manner that it is temperature bound so obviously it wasn't boosting enough to get good result cause of faulty gpu fans controller
so what I did is that I had old fans I put them under the gpu and got better result , I cant return the gpu to china I live in Iraq and its very expensive to return it to factory and get it back again so I put extra fans under it

this is the old benchmark ---> http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/11500124

this is the new benchmark after putting the fans ---> https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/11561279

this is fan image to keep the gpu cool https://postimg.cc/34bF8bVG
