Hopefully someone can help me.
ASUS PROART 670E
AMD 79503DX
CORSAIR DOMINATOR PLATINUM 6600
New PC build and ran Port Royal
Got a score around 25,550. Average for similar setup is 28,300 (not overclocked)
Updated all AMD drivers per this article:
AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D Review - Best of Both Worlds - Software & Driver Requirements | TechPowerUp
Recommended 7 drivers but the AMD PCI Device Driver wasn't listed. Article mentioned it sometimes doesn't dowload.
Ran 2nd test and got a score around 25,850
Still below the average so tried to go about finding that PCI Driver. Couldn't find it in device manager to try to update manually.
Therefore i thought I would try and download the AMD Adrenaline Edition and reinstall drivers again.
** I did not uninstall the drivers figuring the software would "know" what to do
** I also did try to reboot into the bios by using Shift click on start button. that didn't seem to work and hung up the computer
Ran a third test and got a score around 25,150 and computer seems really slow to shut down and boot now. Most times Bios screen doesn't come up on a restart.
Uninstalled all the drivers this time and AMD Adrenaline and did a clean install.
Ran a fourth test and got 25,250 but still not even as high with no drivers let alone the first time I updated the drivers.
Lastly when trying to follow this guide I did not know how to do this part from AMD's slide deck:
AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D Review - Best of Both Worlds - Software & Driver Requirements | TechPowerUp
8th slide - "Verify SBIOS setting "CPPC Dynamic Preferred Cores" = Auto ...
Any help would be very much appreciated.
