[SOLVED] Significantly lower dx9 score

[Sneekz]

Hey,

a few months ago I upgraded to a gainward gtx 2070. I'm not too knowledgable when it comes to gpu's and computers in general, but I did a few tests here and there on userbenchmark and realized that my dx9 score went down a lot over the past 2months, is this something I have to worry about? As far as I know dx9 isn't used for many tasks anymore anyway, right? Anyway, i'm trying to figure out why this is happening.

you can see my specs and results here: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/25240281

grateful for any advice

ram not running at the right speed

If I'm not mistaken, it didn't run at the right speed 3months ago, you can also check the older runs. But I can give it a try.

other than hdd being 10% less. ssd have less free space
check cpu/gpu temp?

 

[Sneekz]

Mhh, I'll make some space in a bit, I'll get a log of the temps.

 

[Sneekz]

Not a 100% sure what people usually use, but anyway:
log file for cpu core temps during test: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1CpDqWPiL-5CgKNY1ffGeNswMf7wTelcw

log file for gpu temps during test: https://drive.google.com/open?id=180hR9ogTZxO7LrqClj9OB8qtWGN1uONP

nothing look bad.

 

[Sneekz]

mhh.. I thought so, but the sudden decrease has to be caused by something, right?
It's also weird that only dx9 is affected and not dx10, I don't really get it.

update the gpu driver? sometime when they fix and break stuff.

 

[Sneekz]

I updated the gpu driver today, that had no effect on the issue. I might use ddu and try a clean install. Does dx9 even affect modern titles?

 

[rgd1101]

dx9, that windows 7 and older title

 

[Sneekz]

Using ddu and installing the most recent driver without geforce experience seems to have solved my problem.
