3DMark

3DMark seems to fail when resizable BAR is turned on.
Any ideas what would cause this problem? Turning it off seems to stabilize the system, but if it's on, it frequently will fail on Time Spy Graphics Test 2.

got the same problem, i dont know why :)

The system is then not stable with it on. There is a reason why no vendor currently enables it by default. Try googling "resizable BAR unstable". This is unrelated to 3DMark (other than showing that yes, 3DMark tests usually put a heavy load on the system and can uncover stability issues)

Yeah, I'm getting the same thing only in the Time Spy Graphics Test 2. Only that part of test fails with it turned on.

If I turn the resizable BAR off, the test completes but states there is a timing error and can't validate the test.

I'm not overclocking the system at all and other benchmarks and games work without any issues. I only have issues with this one part of the test in 3Dmark.

Have only had the issue recently on AMD 22.3.2 GPU drivers with AMD AM4 AGESA V2 PI 1.2.0.6b on an all AMD system.

I'm just not using 3Dmark for now, as other benchmarks work just fine and I ran multiple stability tests for 48 hours without issue. I can't get the system to black screen with any other piece of software.

The timing error suggests your motherboard and Windows are disagreeing how long a second is. This is problematic for a reliable benchmark result for obvious reasons. If BIOS is up to date and you've tried to reset everything to default and this happens every time, I'd very much suspect a hardware issue.

Note that if you do any CPU overclocking from Windows (instead of BIOS) in Windows 10 or 11, then this error is normal and the fix is to not do that outside BIOS (because Windows in their infinite wisdom ties things to whatever is set at boot time and any modifications done after that cause clock skew)

Yeah, BIOS and GPU driver are up to date. Set at factory defaults and run with Minimal install of the AMD drivers for the GPU. (No overclocking software version of the driver)

System time looks good in Windows vs. the BIOS.

Like I said, not seeing errors or issues with any other tests even within 3Dmark, like I can run the CPU test and other graphics tests without issue.

Not super worried about it, I mean games are running perfectly at over 200 FPS on the 6800xt, I just don't use 3Dmark anymore.
