1080 Ti benchmark seems low

[ninjacore]

Been out of the game for a while (sold my GPU a couple years ago). Picked up a Gigabyte Aorus 1080 Ti recently, however, and wanted to double-check my numbers since they seem lower than what I'm seeing in old reviews.

Signature system is still up-to-date ([email protected], 2x4GB@2400, 512nvme).

GPU-z is reporting that the core is maxing out just under1900Mhz when the GPU is at 100% load in Time Spy. Memory stays locked at 1377Mhz. Temp maxes at 68C.

I've attached the GPu-z log file.

Here are the details of the benchmark: https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/28006464?

GPU BIOS version: 86.02.39.00.9D

Nvidia driver version: 398.82

I bought the card used, so I don't know if it's been flashed with a BIOS which might change its performance and make it better for mining or something.

What else should I look at? Or is this just my i5 bottlenecking me?

Thanks! Good to be back

Your 8GB is the only bottleneck. I was playing Unreal Tournament and it was using 7.5GB of RAM. Now imagine how your OS will thrash games will thrash and your cache has to keep on being emptied for new one. Opening programs after a game will be sluggish because all your RAM was used up. What OS are you using btw.

I was just viewing some pics with browser and couple tabs. Next thing I know my RAM is full like it said 7xxx . Where does the OS cache go and RAM for OS, it will go up in flames. You even bottleneck your 1080 Ti to a small certain extent. Maps will take longer to load and good bye cache everything will be slow and hitches in gameplay and hickups and stuttering and lag and what not.

Your GFX score is pretty close to this one I think things look OK https://www.overclockers.com/forums...your-scores!?p=8004006&viewfull=1#post8004006

Kinda waiting to see on the RAM @Organik. I know 8GB is low, and it'd only be $40-50 to upgrade to 16GB, I was just curious mostly.

@Johan45 Thanks! I hadn't yet looked at comparing just the graphics portion of the test with other 1080 Tis. Looks like I'm only about 600 points lower in that area than Woomack's result, so maybe I'm good.

Yes it will not effect your performance. It just might cause hitches and thrashing that's all. Which is annoying of course.

The 3DMark benchmark you are running does not use a lot of memory. You can easily check and see when it is running how much it is using. If it isn't close to the 8GB you have, then it has NOTHING to do with your performance (which was said to be about right already).

Yeah the results look pretty close, actually only 500 off (4.8%), to mine yet my overall score is 1258 points higher when I ran it early this year thanks to faster CPU.

Here is a few results if you want to compare. These where done back in April, not sure if there has been any "enhancements" since then. I know i've tweaked my OC a little more since though.
