It can be several things

It will often do this for the first run of the session but after that the following runs are ok.

It can indicate an unstable CPU overclock.

It can be because windows has been tweaked to get a higher score, this is something only the LN2 benchers are likely to do.

Okay cheer's, I thought it might be because of the clock issues I'm having with Windows, Ever since upgrading from 8.1 pro to 10 pro for free the clock has been broken forcing me to reset it every morning when I turn the PC on, more often than not I find it's several hours out by the end of the day as well, I tried doing a fresh install using the dvd Windows 8.1 pro came on but it tell's me I can't do that because I did the free upgrade and to go and download the updated version, I did that but then it wouldn't install that either, by then I was sick and tired of all the faffing around so I gave up, That must have been at the end of last year so I'll try that and Firesrike again later. Thank's for the info.

Updated run with CPU and GPU pushed a bit further, to get more on the GPU I think it will need some more voltage but I'm fairly happy until it's under water.

Score 21237
Graphics score 30491
Physics score 13474
Combined score 8805

4790k @ 4.8
GTX 1080ti Strix OC @ 2012/1451.

384.76 drivers.

Also noticed that puts me at the top for a 4790k with 1 GPU!

Combined score is down in comparison. After some research, it's a Ryzen thing unfortunately.

With the combined you are looking at CPU clockspeed, RAM clockspeed, IPC so yes none of the Ryzens do that well in the test. Having said that they do run the physics test very well where they can use the extra cores.

Some info here: http://www.overclock.net/t/1627430/the-tale-of-ryzen-and-firestrike-problems-ahead/0_50

Parked cores do better. Looks as though Firestrike would need to be patched for Ryzen. Not that they'll do it as it's old now.

Have a go on Timespy as it is more useful for testing modern setups. it also uses DX12.:)

Edit the problem the guy is getting in the link above also happens on my intel CPUs, sometimes my 6950X will score 7.5k on the combined and sometimes when it is working correctly 10k+. The frequency is about the same too 1 out of every 5 runs. I normally just rerun the bench to get over it.
