Upgraded my rig today. I need to tidy up the cables still. 
 

 

 

👀 😎👍

Very nice, might I suggest you order one of these for your PSU if you're still using the Corsair 1000w unit?

That'll go miles in helping tame the spaghetti monster that the adapter creates. It'll also give you the ability to increase your power limit on the card as well as use alternate BIOS with higher power limits to play around with. I use the "silent" BIOS as my tinker BIOS and have just settled on using the BIOS from the MSI Suprim X. It gives the card a native 480w target and lets you increase it to 520w via the slider if you wish. 
 
This is the BIOS here if you're interested:

I tried some of the 600w BIOS like the Gigabyte Gaming OC or the ASUS Strix versions and saw really no increase in performance as the card just can't really get much past 3Ghz core regardless of power limit on the stock cooler. With the MSI Suprim X BIOS the card will run 3015-3045Mhz if you set the core offset to +180. Though for daily gaming I leave the power slider at 100% (480w on this BIOS) and just use a +100 offset which nets me a boost clock of 2850Mhz in games and power draw stays in the 400-450w range depending on the game.

I saw your scores for your system and mine are much lower. I need to figure out what's going on.

Go into windows security and turn VBS status to off aka memory integrity. That is probably part of what is doing it and it will hold back your scores.

That seemed to be the cause. Scores are much higher now. 

I thought everyone knew to turn that off as a baseline . Now that you've got that sorted try leaning on the GPU a little bit and add some clock speed or maybe a new BIOS.

I'm very happy with the way things are right now. However I might consider some slight overclocking at a later time. Now I would like to see how this new 'toy' does in real gaming.

Enjoy you’ll see it’s quite the capable gaming card.
