To achieve this you need to score in 1% from all results for your hardware and particular benchmark. For example go to https://www.3dmark.com/search find you CPU/GPU and there is:

Time Spy Extreme
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 and AMD Ryzen 9 7900X
Found 188 benchmark results

So, if you want Legendary for Time Spy Extreme you need to be 1-18 place in this table, because 1% from 188 results is 18.

Just cool and OC your system, try different benchmarks - that's it. I score Legendary in Time Spy Extreme and Fire Strike and was close in Night Raid :)

I was in the top 99% with fire strike. I haven't even gotten the good achievement yet. I just put legendary because I figure it would unlock the rest. Since they haven't popped yet I figured I had to run a special test.

IM A NOOB but ... I do believe GPU have the most impact on score as well as the dram. oc a cpu for benchmark is not very noticeable during 3dmark bench. well.. im not talking about 4.9Ghz to 5.3Ghz (12700K). OC your dram will help cpu and gpu work faster and better stability.

and sometime just doing OC is NOT actually better than undervolting your cpu or gpu during benchmarking.

oc might look good on some of the score but the stability behind its sometime trash.
you want your system to run a constant speed for a better score, for example of a 1920Mhz undervolted gpu, you want your card to run exactly 1920Mhz during the
full benchmark not like it sometime went up to 1955Mhz and sometime went down to 1915Mhz then went back up to 1920Mhz, same applies to cpu

I haven't overclocked anything. Not sure if I will either. I'm more of a noob than you probably, don't want to take any chances. This is my first build. And with my set up, i honestly don't think I need to over clock anything.

im jealous of your new setup man. i have the same card but i dont have 13900k. still using 12700k :(

i was afraid oc might damage something when i first start doing it but actually quit safe, as long as you gain by a little and fully test it each time you adjust something, meaning it takes a lot of times. i only oc for benchmark score, during gaming, i always undervolt my cpu/gpu to make sure they are cool enough and have the same performance or close to default setting. That been said undervolting is lot safer than oc, cuz even oc give you extra boost but extra heat in return as well.

for your setup, i dont think you need to oc something unless you are trying to achieve some kinda score during bench

you could just easily get a decent ddr5 + 4000 series in the future xDD

Only reason I have it is because it's my first build and I couldn't get a 3080 last year, I got lucky the way it worked out. You will only be jealous for a little bit, I will probably be using this same old pc for the next ten years lol. But hey, congrats on the card, you're 90% there in my eyes.

3080Ti more than enough for most of the game @ 1440p/2160P. if your on FHD, ten yrs, sure why not lol.

piece of advise, if you really is on 1080p. stays there. you CANT go back to 1080 if you upgarde to 1440/2160p. you'll never get enough. mind blowing quality but with cost

This is my firestrike score https://www.3dmark.com/fs/29194162
Just to clarify, you have to be in the top percentile of the people who use the same hardware as you. Not between all hardwares.

It is not how it's work. For your Fire Strike Extreme Score you need to be 4th place to hit Legendary. See your hardware here[www.3dmark.com]. It's because there is only 47 results in 3DMark database for your hardware :)
