You have Ryzen Master installed with some stock optimization tweaks, but the changes haven’t been significant. Power plan refers to the way your system manages power usage and performance settings.
In fact, the power plan is configured for AMD Ryzen High Performance.
You need to recognize that the Threadripper serves more than just gaming purposes. Your performance is excellent. This part is a versatile and widely used component. You'll consistently achieve high frame rates in most games with the RTX3090. You'll also see strong gains in productivity. Just unwind, enjoy, and let me know—I've been supporting this for four years now.
I've been experimenting a bit more with this setup lately. After testing extensively, I found that running timespy extreme produced results I anticipated. Firestrike also gave low scores, but the extreme version matched expectations. Port Royal seemed to deliver what it should. Other benchmarks like furmark also showed expected outcomes. My idea is that standard tools like timespy or firestrike might not be fully optimized for the TRX40 platform. I also tried swapping graphics cards between systems, updating drivers, and retesting on a 3900x platform (which usually runs at 6900xt). Both the TRX40 3960x and x570 3900x gave consistent results in every 3Dmark test after reconfiguration. After resetting everything, I got the same subpar scores in timespy as the original poster. That experience taught me not to rely on a single benchmark. It’s clear that anyone suggesting a full reinstall or a generic scan might not address your specific issue and could hinder your progress. For driver-related problems, it seems the official websites are the best sources—manual installation is necessary. If you suspect a graphics driver issue, DDU and a fresh start would be the way to go.
