  • Low 2D and 3D Scores on RTX 3060 Ti

    Specs:
    MSI X570 Pro-A Motherboard
    Ryzen 5 3600
    32 GB RAM
    PNY GeForce RTX 3060 Ti

    I built this system about 3 years ago. At the time it had an EVGA GTX 1070 installed. I overclocked the CPU and GPU, you can see the results in the pic. It has been rock solid ever since. Recently I decided to run the Passmark performance test again just because I hadn't done it since it was built. The 3D Graphics Mark was in the 11,xxx area, not the 15,xxx it had been. I disabled the overclock and still got a score in the 11,XXX. I noticed the CPU Mark was down a bit too from or original score. I bought the 1070 used so I though maybe it was failing and since I was thinking of upgrading any way I bought a (used) RTX 3060 Ti and installed that. I was expecting scores in the 19,xxx range but got 15,xxx. I completely uninstalled the nvidia drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller and did a clean install of just the drivers, not the Experience part. Same result. The only changes made since the original build is an added second 1TB NVMe SSD and a 32" Viewsonic 1440p monitor 75hz. I ran the test with the 1070 still installed on the 1080p monitor it was originally done on and still got 11,xxx. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

      So I've tried several different things to isolate the problem with no success. Finally I did a clean install of Windows 10 on an empty SSD and still the same results. But during all the testing I started getting an intermittent DRAM debug light on the motherboard. So I guess it is some kind of hardware issue. I tried different ram configurations, 1 stick, different slots, etc. but it would still occasionally hang on reboot with the dram light on. I'm not sure how to proceed from here but I guess I'll start with disassembling and thoroughly cleaning. Is there software for testing hardware components for faults? I'll post if I figure anything out. Thanks.

        Try MemTest86 (it is a self booting USB solution, so you need a USB drive)
