[@C0manso]

As 99th place in your video I have suggestions: HT off boosts score in PR specifically, I repasted my card because the stock paste on the suprim liquid X sucked at least on mine, make sure ECC is off, use a stripped windows 10. Feel free to flash over 600w bioses aswell, the cable is specced for 600w but in reality it can do a lot more than this, especially since it's such a short duration it won't have time to heat up (assuming it's seated correctly). You can also force rebar on for PR via Nvidia inspector for more score. Hope this helps :)

You can run the memory too fast but not crashing. GDDR6X has a limited form of error correction and you can get it to a point that there are so many errors happening that the memory is effectively performing slower than at a lower clock rate.

[@mikezappulla4092]

Good points. Definitely want to OC the whole system with OC RAM. Probably a good idea to have a bare-bones Win 11 install too. Also, NV control panel set texture filtering to High Performance and use NV inspector to set Rebar.

[@marknewellmusic]

Never set the priority to extremes... 'real-time' is a very bad idea as it prioritises things higher than the OS causing major problems, 'high' is also unwise. Use 'above normal' setting instead as it places your process above everything else, without causing the OS to trip over.

I know it would involve taking apart your home system, but you have a Strix 4090 with a waterblock on it which would perform better than any AIO card. In the build video, you also said you had an active backplate (which you chose not to use) that would likely help when pushing the card to this extent, even if just by providing more consistent temps across the PCB.

Hi Jay, at 17:53, we can see that on their profile that they used Windows 10 instead of Windows 11. There could be some differences there between the benchmark and the OS that's keeping away from achieving your score :).

[@nightshadelenar]

the difference between 10 and 11 is mainly graphical. what's the same between stock 10/11 builds is the large amounts of useless processes running, so either way it should be worth ~800pts just stripping the OS back, and the difference between 10 and 11 is probably within margin of error. you'd get more from driver version tuning anyway, despite getting maybe 30-40pts at most.
