Underperforming 3090?

[Matthew Lowe]

Hi there, I today received my MSI 3090 gaming X Trio and I have noticed almost 0 improvement in my pc performance FPS wise. I upgraded from a 2080ti which I know won’t make a crazy crazy crazy difference but for example in warzone my FPS didn’t increase at all and stayed at the same 100-130 FPS range which settings on medium. I also noticed that during warzone my gpu usage in task manager was extremely low around 1-8%
My whole pc is the following:
CPU: i9 10900 2.8Ghz
Gpu: MSI 3090 gaming X Trio
Ram: 32Gb (4x8) 4400MHz
Ssd: 1x1Tb 1x250Gb
Power: 850W
Motherboard: ROG STRIX Z490-F Gaming

Any suggestions would be much appreciated thanks!

Screenshot of task manager while you're playing?

I haven’t got one currently I’m not home but it was very low usage

V-sync on?
Did you lock your max fps in Nvidia Control Panel?
Power Management mode to Max Performance?
You're running a 3090, put your settings on high/ultra

I don’t have v sync on and I tried with high and ultra and it wasn’t any different. I’ve got a friend with a almost identical set up but with a 3080 instead and he’s getting 250 FPS average with the same settings as me in warzone also max fps is off in NVIDIA control panel

I have only downloaded msi afterburner not rivatuner unless they come as one I haven’t downloaded it

Is it just that game or others? A quick Google search reveals plenty of people struggling with the same issue with just Warzone and not other games

I only play warzone csgo gta and cyber punk. In cyber punk I saw no fps increase as wel

All three 8 pins connected? Old psu? Turbo working on cpu to 5.2ghz.
I have problems with Warzone and Afterburner.

All my pins are connected I even changed the slot I had the gpu plugged into

Did you do a DDU and install a fresh nvidia driver with the 3090 or did you just take old out and new in ?... same setup I have gpu ( A 3090 although a strix) and cpu and at 1440p I am seeing 200 to 220 FPS with ultra and rt on .

I used DDU to install the graphics card yes

 

[Matthew Lowe]

It should comfortably beat the 2080Ti. Did you do a fresh install of windows (not that I can think it would be needed), can you graph it while in game to see % use of GPU+CPU.

As other chaps said you really need to run some yardstick tests which focus on the GPU specifically. Timespy GPU score or port Royale and post those for example so people can understand how you stack up.

For a start looks like you need to at least enable XMP in the Bios as your ram speed is stock... just setting XMP will boost your cpu score in timespy and will certainly help in games.

i cant enable xmp as i dont have a 'k' cpu

 

[Matthew Lowe]

that graphics score is bad, slower than my old 2080ti

since the graphics test there is gpu bound there is something wrong with your graphics card - possible temp throttling or power limit, I suspect it's the temps

the temperatures on afterburner when gaming is at like 70-80 average
i set up afterburner to increase the fan speed when it hits certain temperatures so maybe there is a power limit somewhere that i need to change

my gpu z is on x16 mode

 

[Matthew Lowe]

i got liquid cooling not sure the exact one but its brand new i set the fans to default 60% speed and then increases to like 100% if it hit 75

 

[Matthew Lowe]

the 19k was a second try and the 14k was a few days ago

 

[Matthew Lowe]

You're being thermally throttled. Gpu shouldnt get an 80deg+ avg in timespy. Are all fans spinning?

Odd that you had 19k 1st time, that's on par for stock 3090. You're second run at 15k is throttling due to temp.

Edit: Just read you said you're water cooling, you've put a block on it? Did you block it after the 19k run?

all the fans are spinning
