I may be seeing the same thing.
I am having a similar issue. With Mojave metal score with my RX 590 is around 57000. With Monterey, 37000.
I am using an Apple Thunderbolt Display as my primary monitor. In order to get my computer to boot, I use this thing called a "ghost plug" which tricks the computer into thinking another monitor is plugged in because the Thunderbolt Display isn't detected right away when the bios boots up. I usually keep it plugged in all the time.
With Mojave, I get the same metal scores with and without the ghost plug. With Monterey, if the ghost plug is unplugged, I get 37,000 for the metal score. When I plug it in, I am back to the 57,000 score I get with Mojave. With Mojave it makes no difference whether it is plugged in or not. Not sure if the issue is with Geekbench, or something about Monterey performing better with two monitors.
