What I did notice though I can still maintain a score between 15500-15600 when my average temps was in the mid 30's with staying below the 1.2 NVDD range. the lower my volt range for NVDD with lower temps the more I stayed between 1500-15600 mark.

This is really helpful and very interesting. Thanks for all of these details! I have seen your runs on the 3D mark search page — really impressive — I didn’t realize that was you. I’ve just started messing with Port Royal on the LN2 BIOS and my highest PR score in a closed case and relatively warm ambient room is 14844 with a core clock of 2160 at 55C (yeah that’s pretty warm but it will likely be my gaming and daily driver temperature).

I do plan to start cooling it down and opening the case just to see how far I can push it on LN2 BIOS only using PX1. After that I’ll start raising the dip switch voltages to see if I can gain any benefits there, but I’ll probably be temperature limited unless I open a window and let some of that -11C outside air into the room. Thanks again and good luck with that card! It looks like you’ve got yourself a beast.

I can't post any links yet, but I have a 9900k. I had it clocked at 5.1 all the way to 5.3. I can boot up to 5.4 but the voltage that it's requiring may not be worth the test run. When testing for the first time under ln2 setting i scored a 15167, with my cpu at 5.1 with tweaking to the tool and settings I was at a 15300, again also with cpu at 5.1 This was all in my bedroom with no window or any help with my card in my case and no open side panels with a room temp around 67f-69f I believe my overall average temp run from the card was showing 46C\48C on both of those runs. I can test out stock settings in a minute or two.

Nice score. What was your GPU and MEM OC? I have a 9900KS and am looking for some comparisons. Thanks!

You can find a lot of my recent testing at higher scores on the 3d mark search page just type in the info and look for the username ToastyPeppers. My highest score currently is 15802 but in order for me to even get that I had to get my temps low starting the test. for the different kinds of comparison on what core and mem clocks I used. I kept my mem between 1400-1500. I notice with my memory, the cooler it is the more I can run it at 18000 but I have to increase mem volt for a stable run. At one point I had it at 20000 mem but I was getting heavy flickering and my pc shutdown on me. Core clock has been all over with different testing. on xoc bios I kept it around 200 up to 265 so far. With a normal run on ln2 bios with my score reaching 15300, I believe my mem was set to 1250-1275 but I do not remember my core clock settings personally maybe my other comparisons could give a little insight on what I used, as I said I went all over different settings trying to figure out what went with what. I plan on cooling it with liquid nitrogen soon not sure when though.

Thank you for the good information i have a request for you ,
for the sake of science can you make a comparison between :
 
1: Stock CPU and ram 
2: Max overclocked CPU and ram on the same GPU settings and temps ?

Yeah, I stayed away from benchmarking the 20's series cards. my last bench testing was with the 1080 ti kingpin card. I’m pretty much doing same kind of tests I did back then, expect new this time will be liquid nitrogen coming up as soon as I talk to the local dealer here. I did find my best run at 15300 I was telling you about on the search page. As I mention this run was done in my bedroom with room temps ranging from 67F-69F with my cpu under a custom watercooled loop.
Average gpu temp of 51 for this run, with no ticks no helping aid just my card in my case with my side panels still on with my cpu at 5.1 vs having it at 5.3

on a sidenote, this person also has a i9900k and had close to my marks but with a very low temp and at 5.3cpu and their scores are way better then mine on paper it seems. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 video card benchmark result - Intel Core i9-9900K Processor,ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.

Yes, and Yes I can do that. I plan on doing a lot of testing starting in the next 2-3 days from now I will keep you posted on that. I am after all doing this for the sake of science when comparing different range of numbers.

managed to score a 15,345 on the 520W.

curious how many points if any my CPU/RAM is holding me back.  

Is that 86 maxed out @ 5.1?

If you guys are getting low Port Royal scores, even though the clocks are high, you need to tweak NVVDD/MSVDD in order to get better scores. Finding the perfect combination isn't easy but can boost score a lot.

Yep, download nvidia inspector and make two batch files...
 
Mem OFF:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\nvidiainspector\nvidiaInspector.exe" -setpstatelimit:0,8
 
Mem ON:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\nvidiainspector\nvidiaInspector.exe" -setpstatelimit:0,0
 
Click mem off to stop the issue. Click mem on when ready to use any graphics accelerated apps. 

On stock LN2 BIOS, I'm also seeing 120-130 w idle. I think a recent driver update also caused this, I saw in the patch notes from NVIDIA that this is known. Is this also a fix for any high power draw at idle with the 3090 series?

It could certainly be used to fix high power draw as well.

That is what I had a feeling it what was going on when I was doing my testing anyways. Trying to find the perfect combination for your card with those tweak settings. We could compare numbers all day but each card chip is different and someone running the same settings as the other person could get a completely different score.
