Low DX 12 Performance RTX 3070

[Jice]

I upgraded from my RX 5700 and my new RTX 3070 FE is getting lower DX12 Performance which doesn't make sense. It also got lower 2D Graphics score.

Specs
Ryzen 7 3700X (No OC)
RAM 16GB 3000 XMP
Latest Nvidia Driver
Ryzen Balanced Power Plan

Please don't post the same thing multiple times.

Yes, that doesn't look at all right.

Here's my own Gigabyte Eagle (non-OC and air-cooled) RTX3070 3DMark results on an R5 3600
(see attached file RTX3070)




I'd say my own result comes from
1. Clean install of drivers: very important to remove ALL AMD/ATI driver files via DDU, and do a clean install of the NVidia drivers.
2. Using MSIAfterburner to push up the limits of the 3070: you don't have to go crazy, just a +5% increase in power helps, and I add +98 to the core clock and +529 to the memory clock. It's perfectly stable at that level, and temperatures rarely exceed 65C, unless its being 'tortured'.
3. System RAM is amazingly important to video cards: you say yours is XMP 3000. Mine is XMP 3600 18-22-22-45 at 1.35v, but tightened to 3733 16-19-19-16-36 at 1.35v.
4. I push my CPU to its limits within it's normal power envelope and its normal air-cooling. So I've set it to 4125 MHz all cores, rather than 3600 - that required a small voltage boost on the cpu, that I think is tolerable (I might push this back down).

I've also attached the full passmark 10 score.




You will be able to see where yours differs. I shouldn't worry about a 10% difference, as that is probably due to some of the tuning I've done.

Hope this helps.

I'm impressed with your RX5700 2D score! I don't think the 3070 will be much different there.
