Your CPU is underperforming, so it seems that is bottlenecking the GPU.

the CPU is running significantly hotter than it did in the 4090 test

if you look at the results breakdown the gpu score is basically the same between the 4090 and 5090 so 1 there is a cpu bottleneck. And 2 something is wrong with your cpu setup. The original 4090 score in 2023 you peaked at 69c versus your current 5090 run at 81c. Not sure of you are running aio or air cooling, could be thermal paste or dust filters on your case intakes which im less inclined to believe due to the 5090 running cooler than the 4090 but that could be due to larger heatsinks on 5090’s.

Remember time spy is 1440p render and CPU will bottleneck the GPU If you want better performance do a slight undervolt and raise P-core clock speeds I have a laptop CPU paired with a desktop 4090 and get 34k. Edit, fixed resolution to 1440p

cpu thermal trothling? avarage temp much higher, i guess but the cpu score is the key

Could be wrong but;

Others have mentiond the cpu score which is valid but average clock speed shows 4.7ghz for both, temps are higher (fix that i guess) but the gpus are almost identical.

Do you have a fps cap set? If the 4090 and 5090 both are hitting that cap, they would score similar. FPS caps and V sync should be disabled for 3dmark.

edit:

Still doesn't explain why the cpu fps score is so different though. Your gpu in test 2 is also hitting the same fps and under 240 so i assume it isn't a fps cap issue too... It's almost like you got a 4090 in a 5090 case lol.

edit 2:

Do the run with hwinfo64 running and track the gpu power draw. Also how is the card connected. The fact that both 4090 and 5090 looks similar in fps makes me think the 5090 is limited to 4090 power, i don't think this is a cpu issue at all, you do have some sorta issue in the pic.. 12k cpu score for example but i would still expect a change in gpu score.

that is really low, not enough power form PS?

is your frames capped?

Very interesting CPU temps in the chart to but I see the average clock on the 5090 looks also less stable compare to your 4090 results.

CPU score is the biggest metric to look at here. Both benchmarks span about 2.5 years between each other. Temps are much higher on the 5090 benchmark than on the 4090 benchmark. I’m wondering if there is some vulnerability patches or something along those lines that has decreased the performance, but a drop of 24% seems like quite a lot even for that. One metric we don’t see here is memory speed. I’ve forgotten if 12th Gen is affected by faster RAM but wondering if your XMP profile or something has disabled since 2023? Thus, causing a decrease in performance.

I can confirm this. I had a similar observation jumping from 4090 to 5090 with 450W limit. I thought that due to power limit there is no big difference but with new processor i got 8000 points more in graphics score of timespy

judging by the massive temp difference in your CPU, you're experiencing a bottleneck with your i7 - are your rendering this below at 1080p / 2k? Try rerunning the test at 4k to see if theres any difference.

CPU bottleneck I agreeeee

Try overclocking the gpu the slightest and giving it more power in msi afterburner, and setting max perfomance in windows power plan could also help, google how to unlock that via command line if you need

Reinstall the driver. Reset Afterburner setting. Ignore other comments.

Check the power draw through hwinfo or the nvidia app. If it is capped at 450 watts check your HVHPWR and make sure it’s fully connected at both ends. I had it only run 450 watts when the cable popped out on the PSU side from editing the PC. (Yes that was concerning)

Correct mounting pressure ?

Unrelated but what resolution do you play in? If it’s not 4k you’re going to massively cpu bottlenecked in most games.

Have you checked on your card which physical Dual-BIOS mode the card is currently set to?

Maybe it's set to the conservative Silent Mode instead of the Performance / OC Gaming mode. That would explain the lack of performance gains then.

Should be a small switch on one of the sides (usually it's next to the power connector on most.

Seems like your case airflow isn’t good enough for the 5090. Having read that you upgraded the cooler and still didn’t reach the scores from before that’s my bet anyways

Your cpu score dropped off a cliff for some reason, Id probably say that's the suspect. Have you tried running steel nomad and checked if your 5090 is where it should be? It doesnt take into consideration the cpu so should be fine as a test as I dont think it would push the cpu temps up.

Different versions of 3dmark can have different scores. The only way to increase your performance is with a better CPU or with overclocking.

It seems like a combination of factors, I think the CPU is the bottleneck in this test, also your GPU is not performing well, it could be a problem with drivers not installed correctly, you will have to do some testing.

i got 28500 yesterday with an 5080 and i9 10900 k something is very off with your system
it looks like cooling or an broken ram

Why do people still use timespy? It's a decade old at this point and not designed for modern hardware

Do you expecting that 12th gen i7 with a 5090 to be perform just as 9950x3d with a 5090 or what?

Not to be a communist but... That's what you get for upgrading every generation to a 90 series card.

The 5090 isn't designed for gaming, but it is for heavy-duty work. The 5080 is more than enough.

What resolution is this?

Can i ask what you do that required an upgrade from a 4090 to a 5090

Time for a 9800x3d

power limits it seems

Seems like significant bottleneck from cpu

Timespy regular isn't a strong enough test for a 5090. You have to use timespy extreme or steel nomad/speedway.

how the fuck do you even consider going from a 4090 to a 5090 for one of the measliest improvement between flagships ever when you have a CPU like this?.
