PC underperforming in games

[PontiacGTX]

I have noticed that my PC is running a bit worse than game benchmarks and I found that Ungine Heaven and Superposition have lower score than usual

What could be the reason for this lower performance?

Windows 10.586 Pro 64 Bit 1151/Power setting High Performance / Crimson ReLive 17.7.2 /MSI AB 4.4.0BETA16 / RivaTuner 7.0.0 BETA27
Intel Core i7 2700k / 4x4GB 1600MHz/ R9 Fury (@X8 PCIE2.0) 1050/500/ SATA3 HDD

Did the issue start with a specific driver update? What scores do you consider normal?

The scores were similar I think the Physics score shoudl be closer to 9700and combined should be higher

Physics is CPU based not GPU. Any individual score going down will cause combined to drop as well. Check temps, throttling, etc.

I didnt know what caused the bad performance, hence I posted in AMD graphics since could have been a driver issue

All good. Check that your cpu cooler is dust free. How long have you been using your CPU? It might be time for some new thermal paste.

Bit late, but 'ey.

Do you have an antivirus suite installed, or an antivirus with realtime protection? A while back, I did a fresh install of Windows 7, and tried a few antivirus programs to see their performance impact on Skyrim. Comodo, AVG, Avira, and Avast just killed performance, even with realtime protection off.

Windows Defender or MalwareBytes are good, if you turn realtime protection off (unlike the others).

None

Is your RAM running in single channel mode?

The graphics score is fine. I get a little over 15k with my Fury Air.

Not really. Ballpark 9000 is what it does.
