3080 low Heaven benchmark reference.
Hey there, I noticed your 3080 might not be performing as expected after switching from a 10400 to a 10700. There seems to be a minor GPU underperformance issue, and with two 2K monitors, it could affect the overall experience. Let me know if you have any thoughts or ideas on what might be causing this. Thanks!
PS: I noticed something unusual recently. When I switch to the second monitor, the FPS increases noticeably, but when I switch back to my main screen it drops to 75—this is the maximum refresh rate I have and I’ve enabled free sync. I ran the benchmark while using the second monitor, and the score came in a bit higher, though I still feel it’s not great.
You're seeing impressive performance with your 5070, but the numbers seem a bit inconsistent. I noticed you're getting over 400fps, though that might not be ideal. Using preset benchmarks isn't helpful since custom settings lack a standard reference. It's clear this setup is quite fast, but it's frustrating when updates or refresh rates don't match expectations. Have you checked your chipset drivers and RAM speed? Are there any overclocks or undervolts applied? Trying to run only one monitor might help isolate the issue—sometimes Nvidia or Windows struggles with multi-monitor setups due to varying refresh rates. It's better to stick with identical displays for accurate testing. Also, keep in mind that outdated benchmarks can mislead you; using current specs gives a clearer picture.
I didn't have the stable bar turned on, just enabled it and the score dropped; I'm using the custom preset which forces it to a strange resolution. The speed is 2400 (knowing I should be 3200), my VRM temperature is rising too much, and I haven't done DDU because I'm worried about it. It's also undervolt. On one monitor it looks the same... I don't know what went wrong and might try a clean Windows install.
Ensure the system is in safe mode and choose graphics settings from NVIDIA. Restart after cleaning. Avoid using your UV until issues are resolved; consider setting a power limit (e.g., 90% or 80%). Share the full PC specifications. Install the correct drivers for your CPU.
I replaced all previous drivers using DDU, added the latest version, ran Superposition and my score is 10568. The CPU usage is around 10700, GPU 3080 FE, with a B460MDS3H chipset (latest BIOS), 750W PS, and 32GB RAM in 4 sticks from various brands running at 2400. This might be the problem. I also removed the UV drive and used a 256 GB NVMe SSD for Windows 1TB SSD and a 1TB HDD.
