I'm not sure - as you haven't said what model of motherboard you have or which slots the memory are in - but it is possible that despite having Intel's XMP mode active for the installed modules, they might not be operating in dual channel mode, if say you have 4 or 8 slots for memory on your board and you have populated them as 1,2, instead of 1,3 or 1,5, etc - whatever the manual describes to allow for dual channel mode.
Impossible to know now. Honestly if I didnt randomly decided to check days gone benchmarks I would've never known. I remember checking before cyberpunk benchmarks and metro but they all were in the same area of performance as mine so who knows.
Ram seems fine. XMP 3 also enabled.
Not sure if I missed it or not but what kind of psu do you have and what is it rated for. With a more powerful cpu/ gpu combo, you may be hitting power limits for what your psu can handle.

Also, those CAS numbers are high compared to typical DDR4 - as is a normal trend that latency increases with each new memory type. Higher memory latency combined with the seemingly less effective L1-L3 cache setup for P-cores on gen 12 compared to AMD and 10th gen and before might be critical to these benchmarks.
I would also check you have Windows swap file set to more than the size of RTX 2080's VRAM just as a precaution, and check it is on an SSD, and check you have overprovisioning setup and a decent size in the SSD's monitoring/firmware update program.
I would also check you haven't inadvertently turned on windows' HyperV service on your system by accident..
Interesting - your GPU clock doesn't seem to have changed from the previous result, but the memory clock is down to a more reasonable level. Explaining that is a bit beyond my GPU knowledge, but the numbers look good.Did some undervolting.
I'm ok with it. Also moved a fan in my case and Im buying an extra one at the bottom for more cool air for the gpu to intake. I suppose this should be fine for now. Thank you all again for the help. I owe you one.
Normally it would shut down and try to boot itself again if not enough wattage was being delivered to some parts, but maybe with the new boost adjustments to load where it manages to downclock gpu core on the fly it can prevent a complete shutdown.Not sure if I missed it or not but what kind of psu do you have and what is it rated for.

He's on DDR5, but that looks horrendous indeed. That high CAS is normally for 6,2-6,4 GHz not 4,8.

I do note that the GPU clock isn't temporarily dipping when the scene changes at the vertical lines like it was before, which suggests the lower voltage (and resulting lower temps) is allowing it to keep consistently high clocks under heavy load.
Did you get around to cleaning the GPU / case fans? Because we're probably looking at one of two things:
1. You were voltage-limited by your PSU or mobo, and undervolting brought you under the power ceiling. If perf used to be higher, it could be down to any one of the related components deteriorating over time, but there's not much you can do about that and it's much less likely than option #2.
2. You were heat-limited due to restricted cooling (i.e. dust clog), and undervolting worked around it by reducing the card's base heat output. This is more likely since fans get dusty faster than PSUs degrade, so there could be more performance (and lifespan for your hardware) on the table if you give everything a good clean - possibly even OC potential since undervolting has moved you away from the clock / heat ceiling.
I recommend grabbing one of these off amazon for the sake of easier dusting - cheap, makes it dead easy, and you don't have to worry about messing up delicate circuitry with a cloth:
Spray Duster Can 400ml, White 1 Pack
Seriously, don't sleep on case maintenance - I remember once having to take out my GPU in the middle of a LAN party and blow the dust out of it in the backyard because Counter Strike wouldn't stop crashing. Worked like a dream after all the sneezing.

It's almost insignificant on DDR5
From what I can fathom the latency of memory is typically more important than the uplift in frequency of the memory when your biggest CPU bottleneck is being cache bound,He's on DDR5, but that looks horrendous indeed.

How well does the card hold max core clock during full load? The boost algorithm auto downclocks the card at higher temps. Check afterburner during the run or have gpu-z open and look at it after bench. Gpu-z example
