It also shows you how much power your PC consumes and helps identify problems or areas that are causing bottlenecks when running intensive programs. Stress testing your PC is a great way to find out what hardware is running when you get an unexpected shut down while playing a video game.

Hardware Monitoring Tools to Use While Running Stress Tests.For reliable result from the Stress Test you should allow your system to sit idle for at least 10 minutes so the GPU cools down to idle temperatures. If you have just run normal 3DMark couple of times and the system is still warm, that would 'improve' your result.

Would be sweet to see laptop designs that can actually hit 97%+ but that isn't the norm these days.Įdit: Also note that the temperature of the system when you start the test obviously matters. Not much you can do beyond forcing fans to operate at higher RPM or just ignore the fact that while your laptop might say '2070' in the specs, in reality it is '2070 -x% because we skimped on the cooling'. Laptops you should not be shocked to see fairly low numbers (90-92% is perfectly normal to see) due to how companies design their laptop cooling. If the GPU cooler should be good, your case is not cooled properly. Some GPUs do this out of the box and this is unfortunate, suggesting their coolers are inadequate for the GPU chip or their default fan profile sacrifices performance for quietness. You can of course try look into tweaks to improve this.ĩ4-90% = Less than desirable performance stability, GPU is clearly throttling as it gets under load. Hardware just these days has variable perf based on temperatures. I would not worry too much about a result of 95-96% even if it might not 'pass' the test. Manually forcing GPU fans to operate at higher rate could help. May be worth checking your case cooling is OK and investigating if the throttling is caused by the cooler design of your GPU. As GPU warms up, performance stays exactly the same.ĩ8-97% = good performance, GPU does not substantially throttle as it warms up even if there is some small variance.ĩ5-96% = OK performance, but the GPU is slightly faster when it is cold vs. We would suggest this as guide for desktop GPUs on Stress Test that is heavy for your GPU (for most systems this would be Time Spy, for iGPUs Night Raid probably makes more sense)ĩ9% = absolutely perfect, stable performance.

:DĪnd yes, inadequate case cooling can also cause something like this, tho often this is just design of the GPU and the cooler. If I push all case fans to max as well, 98% can be done. If I manually force the fans to max speed (and enjoy jet engine level noise), it can then do 97%. As an example, the Palit RTX 3090 I have a home that is basically a 3080 cooler bolted onto 3090 PCB (not the smartest design, but on the upside, physically one of the smallest 3090s) is pretty bad in maintaining stable performance and at stock settings scores 93%. Such result would indicate a GPU that throttles by 10% in performance as it heats up.

Anything over 97% is considered 'no real difference' as there is always some background tasks in Windows that affect things ever so slightly and as GPU warms up, there is unavoidably some difference in performance.Įven if most desktop GPUs stock can hit the 97% 'pass' level, there are actually GPUs on the market today that can drop even as much as 10% during stress test (so they score 90%) at stock settings. '98%' means the best and worst result during stress test (which runs same scene 20 times) differed in performance by 2%.
