5800x3d lower heaven benchmark score than my old 3700x

[Sven Hassel]

I installed the new processor and my heaven score has gone from 4300 to 3500, I've tried setting power to AMD performance, resetting BIOS, updating chipset drivers, updating the BIOS but still poor heaven scores....any ideas what to try next?

Thanks

Do you have any games you can try and benchmark?

Could just be heaven is not optimised for 3d vcache.

You haven't mentioned what GPU your using.

Could also update GPU drivers as well.

What Temps are you getting with it?

Did putting the new chip in reset anything on the bios?

Its not a benchmark CPU its a gaming CPU. It actually scores worse then my 5800x in benchmarks. Compare it in games and the 3700x wont be fit to wipe its boots.

Not the best benchmark but a Cinebench run will give a better picture on CPU performance. Heaven is pretty old and I remember back then it was more to see how well your GPU did tessellation.

May need a bios update

Looking around 14000 on Multicore on Cinebench R23

Make sure you are not using the Ryzen power plan (they don't apply to Zen 3) and check that you are using the latest chipset drivers and BIOS version.

Heaven 4? I thought Heaven is a GPU benchmark and a fairly old one.
Let me know the benchmark and settings and ill try…
But as said, its a gaming CPU, not a benching one.
Maybe if there’s a new benchmark in the future to test L3 cache, then it’ll be the best at benching!

My cinebench r23 multicore score is 11100 and it should be near 15,000 (25% underperformance)

Single core score is ok though

Fire up some games and see performance in those.

new nvidia drivers came out today. After installing them my r23 multi score was 14823, up from 11,000 before the driver installation, although I don't see why gfx drivers would affect a cpu benchmark. My other benchmark scores are up too.

I had already installed previously the AMD chipset drivers and set power plan to windows balanced rather than the ryzen plan

That's really strange. You could run SFC /SCANNOW in a command prompt with admin privileges to make sure you haven't got any corrupt Windows files.

I did a fresh install of windows last week because I bought a new nvme drive so it's unlikely to be corrupted in the space of a few days
