Hello,
I would like to preface this by stating the following information about my PC:
3900x @ 4.43
4x8gb 3600mhz Corsair ram
Asus 2080ti Strix OC
Corsair RMI 850
Asus x570 crosshair viii hero
All custom watercooled by EKWB
The problem is that my 2080ti started to under perform and display lots of unreliable voltage/power limit indications on MSI afterburner as well as HWinfo. Game stutter and FPS drops/jump have become part of my life again, I don't want to experience it anymore.
Here are my userbenchmark and 3dmark stats before it started going downhill:

As of late, here are the current benchmarks:

Safe and kinda-safe OC settings:
Things I have done:
Took apart GPU and reapplied thermal paste with good contact (was a problem previously, not this time)
Changed PSU cables and PCIE cables (Im using 2x8pin power connectors for my 2080ti)
I have set all the power/ temperature limit sliders to the max
Switching the physical bios switch on the GPU
Uninstalling GPU tweak and other overclocking software that may conflict
Clean install of windows
Set Max performance settings in Nvidia control panel and made sure they saved (was a problem previously, not this time)
Tried fiddling with Single/Multi OCP
Tested default settings for the GPU (Still underperforming )
Misc information:
My 2080ti currently maxes out at 64c (It used to max around 78c)
power% graphs show it maxing out at 115% before normalizing at ~45% (It used to max out and maintain ~110%)
Voltage graphs show it also maxing out initially at 1.033 then normalizing at 0.817 V (This wasn't the case before i started having problems, the voltage and power would jump to 120% and normalize around ~100% and ~1.01V)
This is also true when testing default clocks
I have had a similar problem like this before and managed to regain (97-99%) performance back, but I unfortunately have lost whatever little patience I have left in me to figure it out.
If someone could guide me through this it would be much appreciated.
PS, sorry if im lacking any info, I wrote this at 4AM...
