Low graphics benchmark w/new GeForce GTX 1660 in Precision T5600

[ramseyrt]

Hello,

I just purchased and installed a new EVGA GeForce GTX 1660 SC Ultra Gaming video card, P/N: 06G-P4-1067-KR, in my Dell Precision T5600 workstation. According to Passmark's GPU Benchmark website, this video card should produce a benchmark score around 11,000. However, I'm only getting ~7,000. I have the card installed in a PCIe 3.0 16x slot and have connected the 8-pin power cable. I've re-installed the OS, Windows 10 Pro, twice and used the current Nvidia driver. What am I missing? Is there any way to troubleshoot the performance issue?

Thanks in advance,

Rob

P.S. -

I just built this system based on this article:

What CPU & RAM are you running?
Is this with ECC RAM?
What's the resolution of your monitor?

I am having the same issue... d3d passmark is 7140 which is slower than a 1060
interestingly..dx9 and 10 seem to be locked at 60fps, while 11 and 12 are not which could be affecting scores (also I am penalized 60% for not having a 4k display on the dx12 test)
on the 2s test image rendering is 3, a 1060 is 423, so something is not quite right somewhere

Probably bad device driver settings limiting frame rate to monitor refresh rate.

vsync was off... I was a release behind on passmark, updated that and it seems to have resolved....got just under 11000

Im having super low 2d and 3d graphic scores with my 1660ti AMP card also. 8 pin power connector in it.

My 2d score is around 151
My 3d score is barely 5,000

I have the latest driver.
