They're not meeting performance standards, but the cause isn't clear.
Hello, sorry for the confusion. I’m not very familiar with PCs, so I’m hoping you can assist me. I’m trying out a custom build I made about six months ago, and while everything looks normal, it doesn’t perform as expected. It runs smoothly during gaming or editing, but when it flags below expectations, something seems off. I came here looking for tips from others, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

benchmark results aren't reliable; you're safe as long as it's working.
It might be a false positive since you didn’t finish the bench. However, ensure both GPU and CPU are using the performance power plans, then rerun the test. Other tests like Firestrike or Heaven could provide more insight, though they wouldn’t likely place you in the 25th or 29th percentile—this suggests another issue. Remember, no benchmark is perfectly accurate, but results within the margin of error are still useful for adjustments. https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/34074795
More data points indicate your device isn't operating at its usual speed, which aligns with the note: "it's lagging behind expectations." I didn't mean his configuration would be 75% slower than comparable models, but rather that 75% of other tested 2080Ti units performed better, or about 71% of the r9 3900x models were faster. This suggests potential improvements are needed on his hardware.
