Do post scores when you max out. That’s what this thread is about.Yeah, I already have a "set and forget profile" that provides a nice boost, now I am just trying to see if I can configure the curve in such a way to start breaking top 100 on some / any of the 3dmark tests with this cardAnd if it happens to be gaming stable too, sweet... lol.
I'll probably just wait till Winter to try and break top 100's or top 50's when my gaming room is cooler than 70F... lol.That’s a bit low. With the same drivers I am around 15800+.All that curve tweaking and this was the best I could do...
Still, not a bad score though, above average and at least stable gaming (ran 2 hours with it last night).

Can ya post some links with runs on your 9950X3D? Cause mine shows above average for 9950X3D + 5090 setups... lol.
I don't close processes as my windows is quite optimized for what it does. Only things I close are monitoring softwares except MSI AB.
You have to remind yourself that “about average” for these benchmarks also mean you’re likely running a rig thats in the top .1% of all gaming pcs in the world. It’s like the guy that finishes 15 hours back in the Tour de France - you’re still in Elite company and blazing fast vs mere mortals
Dude, perfect, I did a compare. So I think I'll have to try again at some point and kill monitoring utilities and whatnot for the run to see. Speed and temp wise, they are very close, within a margin of error, but I am losing points somewhere.
Compare 15813 to your score as .28 driver is best version to run benches.
Tried this. Didn’t do anything for me.
How do you deal with any moisture from melting?
It’s the first time I tried this. Also I wipe.
Be careful manIt’s the first time I tried this. Also I wipe.
Is that a bag of freaking ice?
The AORUS BIOs is generally considered the best. I can confirm from when I owned one.Is that a bag of freaking ice?
Also, anything special about that bios? I think only the locked down XOC allows anything more, but do any of them have ever slightly tighter timings on the DDR7 or simply run slightly better? I have dual bios, so I'd try it if it makes sense too.
Also, nice score.... lol. I'd be worried about moisture, but my back plate coveres the entire card, so the back above the gpu is not showing, so tempting.... ha
People really out here tempting fate and rolling the dice on if condensation will kill their $3K card or not.Is that a bag of freaking ice?
I'm curious, do you think a cold drink can isn't solid when it starts sweating from condensation?
It’s not freezing or 4 degrees and as I said, I wipe it off. Less than 2 minute runs isn’t going to do much. The backplate is barely cold and personally I think the block of ice didn’t do anything as temps were largely the same on the readout.
ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5090 OC with LN2 cooling breaks 3DMark Port Royal world record (Tweaktown)
47,375! "Surpassing the average RTX 5090 score by 31%." Love what these guys are doing for science, but I'm good running mine at 78% power, 60c and whisper quiet on air. Still mostly hitting my 130+ FPS targets with DLAA, much-improved Frame Generation, and Smooth Motion hacks.
Here's hoping for 240Hz OLED TVs in 2026!
No, I'm not joking, I run this full steam ahead. However, most games (so far) it uses way less power, only seems like Path Tracing games with DLAA really push it to 600W+.
Nice, do you close all other items down in Windows 11 when you bench or have you configured things slightly different? I did a compare, and have no clue how you (or some others) are scoring higher than me, when even my sustained clocks are on average higher in the same run... lol. I really want to see where I might be leaving performance on the table.
I’ve heard the newer driver loses some performance so that might be the difference, although I have seen the same thing on other runs where I have higher clocks but get lower scores. One thing I haven’t tried yet is dialling back the memory clock. I might not be stable at that speed and ECC could be kicking in.
My daily is higher than that with a lower CPU and GPU clock.
Yeah, it's gotta be all the "background" stuff that's just "running", and I do not care enough to use a clean OS for testing purposes as games run smooth as butter. I suppose it could also be the newest drivers, but I'm not using old ass drivers for benchmarks as I need the newer features for games. I was hoping it would be easy to figure out what was going on...My daily is higher than that with a lower CPU and GPU clock.
My daily was on latest drivers. .88s.
Alright, CP2077 is a good start, removes system bottlenecks and pure GPU push. Fully maxed settings everywhere, HDR on, 4K resolution, DLAA and only 2X FG.
67.41 on my daily setup. My CPU is not overclocked and GPU is only stock.
I assume that "Stock" GPU, as in absolutely no V/F modifications either? If I run the benchmark with the same settings, default GPU (out of the box), not even loading MSI AB, I get around 64.50 FPS.
