I was playing around with OCing my RX7800XT SL and 3DMark last night, and I guess I set a record along the way:

I noticed it said "Legendary" when I did it, but assumed that was just a random title they tossed on higher scores. 🤷‍♂️ It is a specific combo of video card with a 12600K, so pretty narrow range. But a pretty common CPU, too.

The run itself:

And I guess I actually hold the top 3 spots with this combination (I just want to eek over that 20K mark, so I've run a few times):

So, like, do I get a medal, or a big belt, or what...?

Sadly, you don't get anything but the knowledge that, for your specific setup, things are working well above the average. :) One of the many reasons I like 3Dmark though, great way to compare your performance with extremely similar hardware.
 
The last one I have left is "Mystery Machine" lol. Not sure how I am going to get that one...
 
Nice Down8!

I have a 7800 XT Steel Legend on backorder with Newegg.

What core and memory clocks did you achieve? and are you also undervolting?
 
The 2nd/3rd images show the settings, mostly. Using Adrenalin, I set 2000MHz min & 3000MHz max for the GPU, with a minor undervolt of 1050mv (from 1150). Card averaged 2725MHz at those settings. No changes to VRAM or card power level (on the above 3 runs).

I tried running again, first thing this morning when it was around 64°F in the room, and got lower scores & reboots, so still ain't cracked the 20K mark. I'm not messing with hardware or fan speeds or anything, b/c I'm looking for a 99% stable set-up.

I was reading this to get an idea of where things might work: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/asrock-radeon-rx-7800-xt-steel-legend/40.html

Here's some data that I collected when running some manual settings against the "one click" AMD tuning.

Your CPU scores seem pretty variable. Are you bouncing off temp limits with your CPU overclock? Or maybe some V-droop?
 
Some of that variability is possibly due to heat-soak (AIO cooling) as the runs go back-to-backish (I should probably wait a little longer between runs). Most I assume is run to run variance. The average on the best 3 runs is lower than the overall average, so I might have caught 20K if those were more in line.

I do not ever throttle, and even in hard CPU benchmarks don't go above ~90°C (though I do crash on heavy AVX loads). In 3DMark I top out at like 72°C, right at the ending CPU test. The GPU tops out at like 62°C, which is very surprising. (These temps jive with what I see in Cyberpunk/Starfield [High/Ultra settings, native 1440, no RT].) I am still learning the new voltage variables of newer CPUs (I keep it simple & use Asrock's A-Tuning program, with only a Vcore offset of -0.050 & VDD_CPU reduced from 1.396 to 1.386; P cores @ 51x, E-cores @ 3.9, ring/cache @ 45x).

Running the data shows not that much variance, actually:
GPU score​
CPU score​
Overall score​
Max​
21167​
15330​
19983​
Min​
19443​
15066​
18658​
Ave​
20217​
15205​
19262​
(Ugh, the forum code wrecks tables....)

The CPU score variance to average is 0.8% up or down, which is easily within expectation, I think. The GPU swings are like 4%, which makes sense, as that's what I was messing with.

Anyway, I need some Cyberpunk, so no more benching today....

I broke 20,000 the other day: 20,282. (GPU: 21,391; CPU: 15,679). Tuned my CPU OC a bit, along with the RX7800XT. So, new record, of course. I actually got the same "Legendary" tag running two of these benchmarks (Night Raid & Fire strike) on my new laptop (Xeon E-2176M & Quadro P1000 4GB - and now sporting 48GB of RAM).

The secret to "world records": use unusual combinations. I should put my Q9550 back together & throw the RX7800XT in there....

lol, to that point, I broke a record doing that when I threw my old GTX1080 into my Q9450 rig... :ROFLMAO: Thats all legendary means, you are the top of class for that specific/similar type of setup. Did the same thing with my 3090 in my 5960X X99 system as well once it got relegated to TV streaming duty.

Interestingly enough, I am legendary as well for my current setup... but someone is stubbornly 1 above me for the record in that class right now... :cry:

My result is not best in class, and your card must be a little bit faster.
So you can try to do it better if you have time and wish :)
