Time spy - graphic test 2 - fps question

[das3erawsdas]

Hi,my pc.
9900K
2x16GB DDR4 GSKILL 3000 XMP
Corsair 850 RmX
Asus Prime Z390-A
Aorus Rtx 2080 Ti ( stock )

Hi. Have an question. So using drivers all the time 417.71.

First time when i run Time Spy i get score:

UI Version2.7.6283 s64

https://www.3dmark.com/spy/5843013

Graphics Score 14 280

Graphics Test 1 91.88 fps
Graphics Test 2 82.82 fps <------


But after that ( nothing changed in system ) i am getting lower scores like that, only Graphic test 2 is affected:

UI Version2.7.6296 s64

https://www.3dmark.com/spy/5898620

Graphics Score 13 211

Graphics Test 1 91.01 fps
Graphics Test 2 72.31 fps <---------


Nothing in background,system clean etc,nothing changed. The same drivers.
Tried with GSYNC OFF<>ON ,nothing.
Graphic test 1 not changed,also Fire Strike scores not changed.
Only Time Spy Graphic Test 2.

I know that only 3dmark was updated from UI Version2.7.6283 s64 to
UI Version2.7.6296 s64 . Is any way to revert back to older version ?


Maybe thats why? Also i observed that GPU LOAD is 84-88% only in this test. Any ideas?!

Something on your system is limiting framerate? Some issue with the specific driver? Hard to say.

[das3erawsdas]

yeah but this is the same driver. Also i observed that after 10 second being in test, cpu frequency is dropping and gpu load is dropping to 85%.

I try other driver .

[UL_Jarnis]

I double checked the two results; Exact same settings and workload used in both runs, so there is nothing on the workload side that could explain why the fps differs. This is something related to your configuration / drivers.

[UL_Jarnis]

And if you want to run the older version, that is possible using standalone installer

benchmarks.ul.com/downloads/3DMark-v2-7-6283.zip

This can be installed side-by-side with Steam version - just ensure only one is running at the time.

[das3erawsdas]

also i tried other drivers 2 versions and the same

So i must try version 6283
thank you time spy will be unlocked when i download?:]


Also i remember that i change in UEFI to OFF Multicoreenhacement to make on full turbo 9900K. And now my frequency is throttling only in gpu test 2, in cpu test not ( weird ).
Also cpu other scores are fine.



Ok but first i will try that 3dmark version.

[das3erawsdas]

3dmark graphic test 2 was throttling my cpu speed. I made a HIGH PERFORMANCE from BALANCED plan in windows settins and fps are normal and no drops. Any ideas? So keep high performance?


Or just Long Duration Package Power Limit change in uefi?

[UL_Jarnis]

If power profile change modifies the result, then your result is due to Windows being silly. Keeping high performance ensures best performance, but it does increase power use as well.

The power limit change is mostly relevant on overclocking, ie. you can hit higher turbo as you are basically stating "my cooling can handle it, don't throttle so hard"

[das3erawsdas]

Noctua NH-D15 temps are very low 35-40C :)

But basically i dont oc. I just turned on INTEL turbo work like intented. + high performance to not dropping clock in test.

Also weird that on FIRE STRIKE stress test my clock was ramping to 5ghz even if i dont overclock. I just using Intel Turbo boost.

So a keep high performance or just change something in uefi like that Package Power Limit.:)?

[UL_Jarnis]

Fire Strike is far more CPU-limited (DX11 and all that) than Time Spy which benefits from DX12 lower CPU overhead. Not surprising.

So on 416.94 looping after 5 hours it crashed. Any ideas? Dont know if this is card or driver?

Well you would need to try with the newer driver to see if it still happens. Personally I would ignore any crashes from older-than-latest driver.

[das3erawsdas]

on newest no crashing on loop 10 hours
