3dmark Time Spy Extreme CPU Test. Cpu never get above 89%

[Chromo]

Hi!

As stated in the topic, my CPU never gets above 89% to be precise.

I know my CPU throttles at 100 Celsius, but it never gets hotter than 87c and i can monitor it during test and it is not throttling.

What could be the reason?

CPU 10850k

Also my score is quite below average, could this be the reason?

My score with CPU OC from 3.6 GHz to 5 GHz.

4567 Total average is 4945

6679 CPU average is 8794

Graphics card 1080ti that is also OC

Everything runs stable. Temp never above 87c when stress testing.

I am not sure what is my problem.

If you are asking about a result, not linking to the result makes it impossible to do more than wild guesses.

Something else bottlenecking? CPU score by your listed numbers seems low.

[Chromo]

Thank you for the reply.

Not really after a result, more trying to make sure my CPU is working as it should.

And from 3dmark my result tells me somethings not right when it comes to CPU performance.

Is the CPU-test supposed to only use about 90% of CPU?

My set up: CPU: i9 10850k
MB: Asus ROG Strix z490f
Cooling: Corsair H115i Platinum
PSU: Corsair RM850x
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 3200mhz 64GB
GPU: MSI 1080Ti

It's a new build. except from GPU.

Here is some results.

All at default: https://www.3dmark.com/spy/17308001

OC: CPU all cores 5GHZ and GPU +71 Core +401 Memory: https://www.3dmark.com/spy/17306715

Clock frequency
3,600 MHz (3,600 MHz)

Meaning it never turboed over 3600Mhz.

Some setting somewhere is wrong. Power profile in Windows or some BIOS setting.

OCd result did turbo to 5GHz but the score is still way too low. Definitely not normal.

First thing I'd try is to ensure motherboard BIOS is up to date and reset all BIOS settings to optimized defaults.

[Chromo]

Thank you for your reply.

I posted about it on Asus forums. That is true at default settings.

My result is till low when overclocked.

Just wondering, is the CPU test supposed to only use CPU at about 90% it's the same utilization when OC and Default.

[Chromo]

Thank you for taking time to help me out.

I do have the latest bios. And i have tried all kinds of settings in BIOS, still boots up at default.

Intel XTU is able to OC with no problems.

Still 3dmark has helped me discovering that my CPU is under performing even OC to 5GHZ. About 2000 points.

I thank 3dmark for that. Else i would not know.

Seems like My MB might be the problem. Have made a post about it at Asus.

[UL_Jarnis]

The CPU usage is not exactly 100% due to one core being reserved for GPU driver use (which won't be used very heavily in the CPU test) so I would not worry about the overall usage % so much.

But the score is definitely way low for this CPU model and since it does not appear to be thermal throttling, something else is wrong.

[Chromo]

Thanks again.

Yes something with my MB is not right.

Not that easy to get help from Asus.

[Chromo]

I'm just wondering if this is a normal result. My CPU runs stable at 5GHZ all cores.

The test i did was custom CPU test.

It is running at 5GHZ during the test. i am starting to wonder if the other scores maybe is not comparable for some reason?

A CPU Score of 6735 seems pretty good for that particular CPU. It's likely within the top few percent in that test for that CPU.

What is your most recent result for the complete test? This one? https://www.3dmark.com/spy/17487670

That puts you at 27th on the list for all testers with your CPU/GPU when ranking by CPU score, or 35th when ranking by overall score. I'd say that's pretty good, as in, well above average for that hardware combo.

Edit: BTW, you have a lot of scores live and viewable in the search rankings. If you wouldn't mind, would you hide most of them by clicking the "Hide Result" button on the scores you don't want to show so that more people can see how they stack up in the search results?

[Chromo]

Thank you for taking time to answer.

I was looking at the average score from the CPU test in Time Spy Extreme Custom CPU test.

It says comparable systems. Average is 8300 my Score of 6700 is low compared.

So is that not a comparable score? Isn't it compared to same CPU/GPU? It says so.

[Migz - DH]

I don't know where that 8300 overall score average comes from.
Using the Search feature on the 3dmark website, I find a 3DMark Time Spy Extreme average overall score of 4861 for your combo, and the highest score (with a single GPU) of 5286.

[Chromo]

To get my GPU out of the test i did a custom run, Time Spy Extreme's CPU-test only. That show average 8700. It says it is comparable with same CPU/GPU.

My latest Full run on time spy extreme was 4938, and that is not bad.

Unlucky you, for me the graph seems to show an average usage of above 100% during the CPU test, the peak at 119.49%. (Not joking)
