For some reasons your RAM is running with looser primary timings than your XMP profile allows. Your kit says it can do 17-19-19 and you are set to 18-20-20 You should try to download 1usmus Ryzen Timing Calculator to check optimal timings for your Zen+/2933 SK Hynix RAM kit, try safe preset first. And your kit is also having a 3200 XMP profile, you definitely have room for performance optimisation here.
Sebastien, thank you very much for helpful recommendations! I will try your hints in the nearest future, but not now, today is the second day of installing, configuring, checking, rechecking different parameters. I did the freshest reinstall of Win 10 Pro: DBan first for total wipe of Hard-Drive lasted about 12 hours, clear installation of OS with all the stuff required for a normal work. I didn't intall RaceRoom even at this current moment, was only running different stress tests and this Benchmark either to find out how System works, etc. Very exhausted and happy in the same time!
@Sebastien Brunier I did some tweaking and tests with the newest BIOS, but I still have a ~5% deficit compared to your results, which slightly bothers me. I can't get past the 9000 mark. I realize I have a weaker GPU and also lower memory frequencies, but can these two factors alone explain the difference? I have almost zero experience with AMD, so I'm not confident enough yet to manually finetune everything.
@Balrog I'd be mad as well It is 100% memory config related. In July I switched from 1080 to 1080ti and gained nothing (in this test ofc). Also my memory settings are rather different than what I used to do on my 2700X where I was running 3666c14 (fast preset in Ryzen Timing Calculator). On Zen+ (2000 series) Infinity Fabric clock was synched 1:1 on RAM speed, now on Zen2 (3000 series) you can set Infinity Fabric clock independently, and at 1766 for Fclock and 3200c14 Fast Preset in Ryzen Timing Calculator I achieve my best scores. Note it works best with Ryzen Balanced Power Plan. Leave other CPUs feature default. And when you get ABBA Bios update, jump on it, did it today, even better scores !
Here are the latest results on Ryzen Balanced Power Plan, Stock CPU settings in BIOS (ABBA) just modified AutoOC at +75Mhz and tweaked memory settings. Infinity Fabric (Fclk) set to 1766 Mhz
Here's a comparison between my -now decommissioned- 7700K on an Asus Maximus IX Code and 9700K on an Asus Maximus XI Hero board: CPU: Intel i7 7700K CPU OC: 5.2 GHz all cores Memory: 16GB DDR4-3200 Memory timings: CL14-14-14-34 GPU: Nvidia RTX 2080ti CPU: Intel i7 9700K CPU OC: 5.1 GHz all cores Memory: 16GB DDR4-3200 Memory timings: CL14-14-14-34 GPU: Nvidia RTX 2080ti
do my results seem abnormally low? I ran this a few times and i keep getting around the same results. Any ideas what could be wrong?
thanks for the heads up. XMP definitely was off. Unfortunately that didnt help. still the same low scores
Are you running your CPU at stock values ? 'Cos your NB frequency is really slow at 3300Mhz, at stock settings mine runs 4320Mhz. Out of curiosity I ran the benchmark at stock (optimized defaults) settings and got a way higher score than yours, and this was while Windows was checking for updates in the background. Something definitely seems off with your CPU's performance...
As far as i know they are at stock values. I havent messed with my cpu at all. How would i check this?
CPU: i5-9600k CPU OC: NA Memory: 16GB DDR4-3200 MHz Dual Memory timings: CL16-20-20-38 GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 3gb
Just noticed this thread - Here are my results. CPU: Ryzen 7 1700 CPU OC: 3.4 Ghz Memory: 16 Gb DDR4-3200 Mhz Memory Timings: CL 16-18-18-36-1T GPU: AMD RX480
Tried my hand at memory OC'ing for the first time in my life, tightening up the timings to 13-13-13-30-1T, and managed to squeeze a bit more performance out of my system CPU: Intel i7 9700K CPU OC: 5.1 GHz all cores Memory: 16GB DDR4-3200 Memory timings: CL13-13-13-30 GPU: Nvidia RTX 2080ti
I purchased some faster memory so came back to this to do a few runs with various settings. Ram made no difference at all, not that surprised, noticable difference in windows, snappier, slightly faster loading, general gaming i wouldnt know the difference. Biggest speed gain, i turned off spectre and meltdown protection, not a major issue for me, not that paranoid over it and my comp isnt a workstation or critical for anything other than browsing and gaming, nothing to lose here.
Well I won’t turn that off myself. My PC is also only used for gaming but I will cry if I fry my cpu.
Download and run inspectre from here https://www.grc.com/inspectre.htm, it`ll tell you if you are protected and allow you to disable them. You know the perceived risk, cynical me thinks..................
Looks like I can't disable -nor enable, for that matter- meltdown protection on my system, guess it's because of the in-silicon mitigations for that vulnerability on the 9th Gen Intel CPU's. I did test with Spectre protection turned off, but gained no performance. On the contrary, I consistently got lower scores so I turned it back on. I also ran the benchmark on a quick 'n' dirty 5.2 core/4.9 cache (for some reason my board won't accept a cache ratio that's higher than core ratio -3) OC at 1.37 adaptive vcore and got a score of 9853. But min fps only went up to 45.9, max fps to about 667. As I'm pretty sure I won't get it 100% stable at that voltage, I'm just gonna stick to my current overclock as added gains at 5.2 are minimal. Nice score on that 8700K by the way
