PC Gamer: Nearly Dangerous
So, as you can probably tell from the title, this thread is about the PNY XLR8 Gaming GeForce RTX 3080 & RTX 3090 EPIC-X RGB Revel, or more specifically my new RTX 3080 card.
Long story short, I was able to get this GPU for £891 when it is still being listed with prices starting from £1250, so pleased with that result, installed it and started testing with GTA-V as I like the detailed results that the in game benchmark generates, so when I found out that I might have been able to get this card I benchmarked my RTX 2070 Super so I could compare old to new, but the results have left me feeling confused.
I tabulated my results, working out the differences as a percentage expecting to see gains across the Min, Max, and AVG FPS, but instead I got something unexpected.
As you can see my max scores and avg scores are up, but what I don't get is why my min scores have dropped so much, in pass 1 they dropped from 22.714fps to 4.382fps.
Does that look normal? I don't really know what to think here. I have used DDU to remove drivers and then reinstall fresh drivers.
So, my plan is, run through driver settings and take out stuff like V-Sync, turn off G-Sync, reset PC and test again, does anyone have any other ideas?
