3D Mark Scores

[R3v4n]

I'm confused with some 3D mark Scores...

https://www.3dmark.com/search#advan...ck=&maxGpuMemClock=&minCpuClock=&maxCpuClock=

That's the leader board for my spec, my highest score is at #9.

My GPU clocks are higher than every result above me by some margin, I'm stable with every slider maxed on Wattman and yet even with lower clocks they are getting better scores I haven't hit 13k with mine once yet despite having the highest clocks?

Does anyone have any insight on this haha?

Hmm interesting maybe I need to try something to push the power beyond the 15% cap then.

It does fluctuate but it doesn't dip below 2750-2800.

I guess other than scores 500pts in 3d mark won't actually translate to performance, maybe I'll just leave it haha.

My 6700xt hits over 13k on 3d mark, I just set the power limit to 15%, set max clocks to 2900 and that's it. It crashed when I had clocks at 2950, haven't tried anything in between yet.

Strange lol, mine is stable with max clock at 2950 and it won't hit 13k, very odd.

Maybe different brands have different power limits in the BIOS and so the 15% slider allows for more power if the card BIOS has higher voltage?

It really is so very annoying lol.

It is strange though, looking at the 3600X 3DMark board, there are very few cards with scores over 13k, compared to other CPUs.


Compared with the 3600 3DMark board, the 3600X is garbage. Which makes 0 sense and makes me question this whole "X" binning of chips, looks and smells like a scam. I'll keep that point in mind next time I'm buying a CPU lol.
