Looking just at Graphics scores I've found I'm 74th in the world out of 2285 on Time Spy Extreme for my system. I should probably look at my CPU, I have only ever used Ryzen Master Auto-OC which gave me a new 4.75Ghz boost over stock 4.6.
This is the best description I've seen for PBO and undervolting.What I did (5600X):
1. Find the thermal capacity of my cooling. If you think you may be limited on on cooling (Ryzen 5 starts reducing clocks above 65degC, so aim for that).
a. Set PBO boost override to the max and power limits to motherboard and run Cinebench all core (10mins). If you are above temps where you are comfortable, dial down the PPT so you run where you are at a temp you are comfortable with.
b. What ever you logged as peak EDC/TDC at your target PPT/Temp enter those values in the BIOS.
c. Make a note of clock speeds
2. Undervolt by core.
a. In the BIOS, choose a core (1) and undervolt by -10.
b. Open Cinebench.
c. Open task manager, find the cinebench process and right click. click details and this will give you your service for cinebench.
d. Rght click the cinebench service and click affinity. This will give you the threads. 0&1=core 1, 2&3=core 2 etc etc.
3. Run Cinebench (10mins) single core and immediately switch to the service affinity and deselect all threads other than those associated with the core. If stable, undervolt by -2 and repeat until you get a crash. When it crashes add 4.
4. Rinse and repeat for all cores.

3090 Ti UK price slashed to £1,149 (limited time only it says) yes, because it's going to come down again next month.

In stock still along with 3080 Ti and 3070 Ti models.
A year ago it would have been unthinkable to see any RTX30xx FE cards hang around ... they were all being snapped up within an hour of the drop, usually within about 5 mins.https://store.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce/store/?page...
In stock still along with 3080 Ti and 3070 Ti models.
It's notable how the 'VFM' ones are all OoS ... 3060Ti, 3070 and 3080. (There was never a 3060FE)

Why? I have a newly purchased 3070 running full "ultra ray tracing" with Quality mode in DLSS for Cyberpunk, without a hint of slow down or jerkiness. I've not measured frame rates, but, I can't see why I should.? Its smooth , so why do i care about the frame rate? 1440p here.
Put simply, because right now I don't think the step-up is worth the cost, and because I intend on moving over to 4K120 which even the 3090 still falls a bit short of providing reliably with all the bells and whistled enabled. HM-2 said:

Anyhoo I tried just PBO on it's own and got 4100 on Timespy Extreme, an increase of 309 over my original 3791, trouble is my GPU score went down 200 (I might have used the wrong OC profile for it) but that's a good improvement to begin with.
Number 1 in the UK overall,
9th on CPU score only.

I am number 1 and 2 already 
check your screenie
But I'll try and make some time and have a real fiddle. I did have go with CTR this evening too.
Of course, I was looking at my non-LHR results. check your screenie But I'll try and make some time and have a real fiddle. I did have go with CTR this evening too.
CTR didn't provide as good results as manual BIOS over clocking for me.
What cooler do you run?
I'm running my "Summer" fan curves and only shut down Icue and NZXT Cam (I usually shut down more processes to help the CPU) so I have that and I'll probably set a max fan curve too and see what happens. Still some GPU tweaking too, I'm +115 on the cores and +875 on the memory at the moment.
