9070 XT Underwhelming Performance
Hello everyone, a while back I had recently made a post regarding my 9070 XT performance being super low compared to the average. I apologize if I should've just re-opened the old post, however I had believed I found the solution.
Previously after testing, I had discovered that my RAM was failing when XMP was running and went through the entire process to get it RMA'd. And during this testing, I had received an expected score of ~7000, after the poor score of ~6100 on 3DMark Steel Nomad. Between the time of RMA'ing the RAM, I never re-tested. Now that I have received the new RAM, it is fully stable at 6000 MT/s, however I am getting my previous poor score of 6191.
At this point, I'm lost on what could be the issue at this point, as I've run with a single stick and it still scores poorly. I'm reaching out to find any ideas that may somehow shed some light on what could be going on and can provide any information on the computer that's necessary.

Thanks to anyone who might have any input.
