I just upgraded to a new GPU, a 5070 ti, and ran the 3D Mark benchmark. To my surprise, my score was only 6861, which is marked as 'Good'. I see that the top score is 7755, and I'm wondering why there's such a gap. Can anyone explain how these scores work? Also, I noticed that when I connected the 12-pin connector, I didn't hear a click sound, even after multiple attempts. Is that something I should be worried about?

A lower GPU usage and higher CPU usage can be a common issue, especially if the game isn't optimized. Have you checked your driver installation or other specs? Maybe your CPU isn't bottlenecking, but we should look into it. Don't feel down; you have a great combo for 1440p!
You scored above average with your 6861—it's actually pretty solid! Since some extreme setups use liquid nitrogen for cooling, keep in mind that comparing scores can be tricky. But yeah, nothing to stress about; enjoy your new GPU!
Your score is good and well above the average, considering many results include heavily overclocked systems. If you haven't overclocked or undervolted, you're doing just fine! And about that connector, it doesn't always click; just make sure it's secured properly.
Don't overthink it! Unless you're going for maximum score, which often requires overclocking, you're doing fine. Just focus on your gaming experience and troubleshoot any stutters as they come.
If your gaming experience is smooth, then there's really no need to sweat the scores. Just remember that someone will always have a better setup, and the important part is that you're enjoying your games.
That's a relief! I was worried my installation was off. Thanks for reassurance!
