Thanks for posting. I find it interesting that the Timespy score for your 7950x is the same as mine for a 7800x3D...either TS can't fully utilise a CPU or it points to the strength of the 7800x3D. Will gave to try Firestrike to see (have been meaning to do it but haven't got round to it)

Your CPU score is unlikely to be the same? The overall score tends to be more GPU driven than CPU driven

Scott · May 20, 2023

Without overclocking it's not too bad. I think higher results tend to be in the 53k mark. This is likely PBO/EXPO driven though.

The CPU has an impact on how well the GPU can run. You will get different GPU scores with different CPUs. The 7800X3D is one of the best for support.

Other than forcing Quality image in the drivers, that is with stock settings after I reinstalled the drivers without Geforce Experience and both results should be my new pc for a 7950/4090 vs my old 5950/3090.
edit correction I posted the old pc's fire strike
https://www.3dmark.com/fs/30101041 54 598 is my newest

Which has been a problem since I got it, I have one golden rule I broke, never buy first gen, give it 6 months to mature/hardware/bios revisions. So this time I didn't get anything under 6 months old like the old pc. It had a few issues with it which caused regular reboots which I could not rule out to any one bit of hardware,

I could have gone for the X3D variant of amd but it was just too new for revisions to have been made for me to be happy.

You've customised some of the NVidia settings. This is actually hampering your GPU performance. Your system has a higher score in it

@Scott well you don't buy a 4090 and set it to minimum, I want all bells and whistles firing at all times. If I had a 4060 then yeah low or mid, but its a 4090

Not sure what you mean. What I'm saying is, with your Firestrike score, the GPU score is low due to customising the Nvidia settings outwith the spec that 3DMark recognises. If you want the best out of the GPU you should default the Nvidia settings and then turn on Prefer Maximum performance. Then if you re-run Firestrike the scores will go up.

Before an OC with the 4080...... this is going to be closer than I thought

So now I've had some spare time, I thought I'd do a run of 3D Mark Benchmark tests.
This is the updated Ulfheanor, with AMD R7 7700X and ASUS AMD RX 7900 RX.
It's just as I'm using it now, nothing adjusted. Exactly as it has been being used to run games, the usual kind of programmes for a home user to have installed, files saved, and a good years worth of wear and tear and junk. Nothing else running, as far as I know.
I haven't even opened up my RAM to 6000, because I'm a bit nervous of going into the BIOS and 'hitting the wrong button'.

I scored 22 016 in Time Spy

This was the 2nd Time Spy test run, the first one had a slightly higher score of 22,132, but it was unable to collect any hardware data. Why that was I don't know, I just ran it again and it collected it all that time.

Here's mine...(didn't realise I'd ran the Time Spy Extreme benchmark originally, so have just done the normal one...

On some runs, I've had lower than that!

No changes between runs, and temps are more or less the same 🤷‍♂️

Although I found out my GPU PCIe slot was running at x8 instead of x16 as I'd been playing with PCIe bifurcation to get more m.2s to be seen on my Asus Hyper-X card - but the motherboard only supports a single device on that 2nd PCIe slot - but I'd forgotten to turn it back from RAID mode.

AndIB · Apr 21, 2024

Thought I'd do one of these while I'm testing/monitoring the CPU temps. It's been peaking around 95/96c on HWMonitor.. Would like to get that down ideally. Not tried the Custom Mode/PL functions in CC yet. Here's mine:

Edit: Time Spy had it run into 97/98c as did rendering a video in Davinci Resolve yesterday. Are these normal temps for this setup during benching/rendering?

It's upgrade day with an in-coming 5090 and 9800X3D upgrade. Before that I wanted to see what I could get from the current setup 7800X3D & 4080 FE.

I pushed the GPU about as far as it would go. You can't really break it but there's a fine balance between the power limits and stability so I was right on the cusp at this point. The 7800X3D pretty much has a hard limit on it. Each chip is unique but once you find that limit there's not even the chance of going a smidge over it.

The RAM was on the OC that I tweaked when I first put it in. Manually set to 6000Mhz & a CL28 with some other tweaks. Seems the sweet spot.

I then defaulted the BIOS, stuck on a "DOCP I" option in the bios, switched off the iGPU and enabled Memory context restore (everything else remained default). I also set the GPU to default settings. Just to get a baseline for out of the box that a typical user would experience with the same setup.

wondering what kind of tweaks you did to your 7800X3D is order to have it running at 5Ghz on average during FireStrike? Mine is usually slightly below the 4.8 GHz mark. I have enabled PBO and use per core Curve Optimizer from -21 to -24 undervolt, but that's pretty much all tweaks I've done on mine.

I think it's possibly cooler related. I have an open bench with a 360mm cooler on it, which allows it to run at max as long as the temp doesn't go above a certain level. When in it's normal resting place I typically get below 5Ghz, this run was in an open room which helped.

Other than that the main difference I have is a -31mv undervolt. I've also set the CPU limit to 90C and allowed a positive boost of 50mhz.

Scott · Jun 2, 2025

This run here had a more extreme CPU overclock.

That was some pretty significant tweaking to voltages & RAM timings etc. That's when I was taking my chip to the limit, but I don't have any notes on how I got there. Just the memory of painstaking hours of trial and error

Makes sense, then. Mine is also cooled by an AiO, but it's only 240mm and inside an 18L SFF case. The difference between 240 and 360mm would indeed be meaningful due to much bigger radiator.

Not sure the 50Mhz positive boost makes any difference for the 7800X3D, since it's overclock limited. But maybe it boosts for longer? Will try to test this at some point. Thanks for the tips!

SFF will make a pretty big difference too I imagine.

The 50mhz boost definitely makes a difference, also, as this allows the frequency to go past the stock boost levels. It's limited to 50Mhz on the 7800X3D but other chips are 200Mhz.

Currently playing with the 9800X3D now (seeing 5.6Ghz at the moment).
