3D Mark much lower after Windows 11 reinstall (Razer 14 / 3080)


I have a Razer Blade 14 with RTX 3080 purchased in Nov 2021.

I recently reinstalled Windows 11 (via the built in razer reinstaller).

I installed Synapse and set performance / plugged in to custom Boost / High.

I installed Geforce experience and installed the latest NVIDIA drivers through it and get roughly 7500 on TimeSpy.

When I ran this benchmark before reinstalling Windows I got 9500 (over a year ago though), which seems in line with other benchmarks of the same system I've seen online.

I'm using the 240W power adapter that came with the PC.

No other apps are running.

I rebooted it and ran it again and got similar results again.

I updated to the latest TimeSpy.

CPU AND Graphics score have both gone down (previously GPU: 9700, CPU: 8600 - now GPU: 7786, CPU: 7155)

I'm also getting bad perf on PCVR games that worked fine before so it seems something is wrong. Actually worse than even the new 3D mark score would give, it's like something is fundamentally wrong (eg a fan is out, but I can hear them).

Any idea what could be the problem?

Does anyone know where I can pay to have an out of warranty Razer laptop fixed in the UK?

I had a similar issue after a clean reinstall and realized some settings got reset, like power plans and GPU modes. Double-check that your system is set to high performance and the discrete GPU is being used. I ran into a weird one where Windows Explorer also stopped showing previews, and I found help here: https://www.blueberry-ai.com/blog/3ds-max-thumbnail-preview-not-visible-in-windows-explorer-fs5lp.
