Question Worried about my 3DMark Speed Way score with ROG Strix RTX 4090 OC

[ResurrectorRTX]

Hi guys and a Happy New Year to all of you!

I recently built a new system with an i9-13900K on an ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Hero board, an ROG Strix RTX 4090 OC, 64GB DDR5-5600 RAM, two Samsung 990 Pro SSDs etc.

After having hopefully solved my black screen issues with my card by reinstalling the drivers after removing them using DDU in safe mode (black screens in idle mode or YouTube videos) I ran a few 3DMark tests.

I don't quite remember the other scores but my Speed Way result got me worried a little.

I'm getting around 9200-9300 points (around 92-93 average FPS) at the end while having seen results around 9900-10000 points with other cards like the 4090 FE or 4090 TUF (OC).

My card is fueled by a Corsair HXi Series HX1500i PSU using a custom CableMod extension cable with 16-Pin to 4x 8-Pin plugs. I got four separate cables attached to each connector of the CableMod 12VHPWR extension.

My card is running in stock OC mode (2640 MHz) with a 120% power target (nearly 600W) and reaches around 2860-2865 MHz and 99% usage during the test.

Is this result normal or is it underperforming? I'm not getting any crashes or such things and got all power management options disabled in the BIOS (ASPM etc.) and in Windows.

If you got a similar configuration, what results are you getting in Speed Way?

Thanks for reading.

What resolution?

I'm running a new PG42UQ OLED monitor, 4K resolution and 138 Hz.

I have a PNY 4090 power set to 100% at 1440p 2745mhz. I am getting 95-100fps average with a 9800 score. 10850k at 5.0ghz. I think you are right where you should be at 4k and 42inch screen.

The size of the display doesn't matter, only the resolution. 🧐

I'm not sure, I think the benchmark doesn't scale with the resolution but rather with the amount of frames you're getting in this test. And in my case it's around 92-93 FPS.

Alright, found the cause of the slightly lower score! I had the memory ECC function enabled in the NVIDIA control panel and from what I read, it kinda limits the memory bandwidth which resulted in lower FPS and final score.

Disabled it, rebooted, ran Speed Way again and boom, got roughly 100-110 FPS which gave me a final score of 10070 points.

Really?
