Hello everyone,
I've been shopping for a new GPU lately, as I though it was time to change my GeForce 780, even though it was benching 8800 on the benchmark test. Yes, it was a 780 benching as much as a 780ti, somehow.
I first checked for refurbished 1070ti and bought one from a store. Arriving home, the 1070ti was benching 10200 on the passmark 3d test, which is far under average for this GPU. I can usually expect 12200. So I thought to myself that the problem is probably because it's a refurbished GPU. I called the store and they switched my GPU for another one they had. Arriving home: exact same problem. The other 1070ti was benching 10200.
So I asked for a refund and searched for something brand new and unused instead. I went out and bought a 2070S. You can expect 14900 on the passmark test with this. Turns out that it benches 12300.
At this point I am starting to think that something in my computer is preventing full capacity of my GPU, but I don't know what's causing it.
I was maybe suspecting the drivers to be faulty. I installed all the useless stuff the CDs that came with it had to offer, without success. I also tried to overclock it a bit, but only got +300 points. At this point I'm suspicious that my power supply is not good enough but I'm clueless. A friend of mine thinks my motherboard may be the problem.
Specs:
OS: Windows 10 64 bits (I bought it so it's a clean OS)
motherboard: ASRock X99M Extreme4
CPU: Intel Core i7-5820k @ 3.30GHz
Memory: 2x 16GB DDR4 SDRAM PC4-21300
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER
Power Supply: EVGA 600 B1 BRONZE 600W
