3Dmark not kicking my 3090 into full boost, why?

[newls1]

So I just noticed something.... Been wondering why in 3dmark, my gpu core never exceeds 2010/2025mhz and this past run I had GPUz running to monitor everything, and found out my gpu never past .906v ...LIKE ***! What can I do to fix this? Games play fine, and up to 1.1v @ 2160mhz, just not 3dmark... what gives?

**EDIT forgot to say its NOT TEMP RELATED... card has fcwb and active backplate. Core never went above 39c and mem reading on all 3 sensors averaged 44c.

it is. Does this on every bios as well. Tried it on my xoc 500w bios and xoc 520w bios.. this is so weird

Run it at 4K and see what happens.

This. If you're running standard Firestrike then this could be the issue. Run Firestrike Ultra instead.

What variant of 3090 do you have?

ftw3 ultra using xoc 500w bios (switch 1) kingpin 520w bios (Switch 2)

yeah try the ultra. if youre trying to set records, use afterburner and turn off low power mode. i think that still works but i havent touched a 3090....
