Performance issue with Asus ROG Crosshair X870E Hero motherboard

[nzg]

I upgraded my PC, and since then, I'm experiencing a 30% performance drop. The only components that remained the same are the GPU and the power supply: an ASUS TUF RTX 5090 OC and a Seasonic PRIME TX-1600W Noctua Edition.

My old system consisted of an Asus TUF Z790-Plus + Intel i7-14700KF + Kingston FURY Beast 64GB DDR5-6000 XMP (4x16GB), while my new setup includes an Asus ROG Crosshair X870E Hero + AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D + 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5-6000 Expo (2x32GB).

In 3DMark, instead of getting 42-43k scores, I now only get 28-29k, and both CPU and GPU performance are proportionally 30% lower than on my 2-year-old PC. The Benchmark is the Time Spy.

I'm running Windows 11, all drivers and firmware are up to date, and I've tried almost every possible setting in the BIOS, but the issue persists.

Any suggestion?

I have the same problem. I've made Reddit threads and have been searching around. I've deduced based on my and other reports like yours that this issue is consistently related to 870e boards with the 9950x3d really underperforming and only pulling 200w. We need an update ASAP.

I'm also having similar issues. even my cinebench result seem way off compared to others, I'm barely getting 2000 stock, and about 2200 with Precision Boost Overdrive enabled.

I reached out to ASUS. They said they'd look into it. I suggestion everyone else do the same if you don't want to wait 6 months for the BIOS update.

I am calling them right now. Just not sure if its as x870 issue or the mobo issue

[JGdaCaesar]

I called ASUS and they did show me how to enable PBO "Precision Boost Overdrive". You just set it to enabled and now my CPU is hitting 250w

I'm also having the same issue even with Precision Boost Overdrive enabled.

Hmm interesting. I am on the newest bios and firmware not sure if that affects it
