That is about right with your CPU. I tested my Gigabyte GTX 1080 Extreme recently with a i7 8086k with a 5ghz overclock. It did a bit better but Heaven likes CPU overclocks. I also tested it with Time Spy, Fires trike, Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Assassins' Creed Odyssey. I use Shadow of the Tomb Raider because there are lots of samples out there to compare with. I used the highest setting at 1080p and 1440p. Assassins' Creed Odyssey is still one of the hardest game to run without RT. I do the in-game bench at very high and ultra at 1080p and 1440p. Times Spy likes cores and has a separate graphics score so you should do well in that bench.

I got a MSI 3090 last week. It was an auto notify from 2020. Most of my auto notifies were for 3090s since the 3080 ti did not exist back then.

Sometimes Precision X1 misreports so check the power limit with MSI Afterburner. Nvidia GPUs don't run at 20c even on water so that is a misreport as well. It does the opposite with me. If I run it with MSI Afterburner it sometimes under reports. Here is what it looks like when it goes nuts on me. My 2080 ti can do 2115mhz but it uses about a 100 watts more and it is not at 47c when doing it.

I have over 250 mods installed and none of them will effect frames except ENB. Sometime you have to switch from windowed mode or to full screen.

This sort of thing happens a lot. It is either caused my a Windows or a driver update. First check to see if the game engines frame limiter is enabled by opening the SkyrimPrefs.ini found in Documents\My Games. Look for the line iPresentInterval=. If it is enabled it will have a 1. If it is disabled it will have a 0. I use iPresentInterval=0 since this feature is bugged. Then either use vsync or the Nvidia control panel frame limiter(Max Frame Rate) to control frame rate.

Asus made several none "A" GPU(TU102-300-K1-A1 instead of TU102-300A-K1-A1) versions of the 2080 ti and these did underperform. They were limited to about 280 watts, compared to an "A" card like the FTW3 Ultra that used 100 watts more. Check to make sure you don't have one of these cards.

In the early 90s I used 2 types of cards. A 24 bit frame buffer that displayed one image at a time in 16.7 million colors on a NTSC monitor and a video processing card that I used for video editing and adding computer graphics to videos. They were all called by their company name like Targa card and Video Toaster(toaster). I started using the term graphics card with the Voodoo card. Maybe because saying Voodoo sounded silly.

What you need to find out is if the hot GPU exhaust air is being expelled from the case before it is ingested by the GPU again. Heat soaking it. This is easy to test. Run a GPU bench and put your hand were the exhaust fan is. If the air is cool the hot GPU air may be trapped below the GPU. Also the glass on the side of your case will get hot below the GPU if the air is being trapped. Here are my best and worse 30 series builds. I have a ASUS ROG Strix 3080 OC. It is in a Cooler Master H500 ARGB case with a i9 9900k that uses a Noctua nh-d15. Running Heaven in a window using the extreme setting it runs at 68c with the hot spot 10c higher. I think the nh-d15 helps pull the hot air out of the bottom of the case so the 3080 always has cool air. My EVGA XC3 Ultra 3080 ti with a 5800x using a 360mm AIO in a Cooler Master H500p Mesh case was a fail with temps in the 80s under load. GPU exhaust air was being trapper below the GPU heat soaking it. To get the hot air out of the case I had to add an exhaust fan below the GPU. Now it has the same temps as the 3080.

Space scenes did not run well even with my i9 10900k/2080 ti setup. I will try again when the computer gets a 3080 ti/3090. It definitely the hardest to play in VR since everything else runs perfectly with that setup.

For building games it is IPC so my 5800x is used. On GPU games like SOTTR it does the same frames as my i9 9900k. My old Space Engineers saves are a good example. This scene is not smooth on my stock i9 9900k or i7 8086k but it is totally smooth on the 5800x. Modded games are the same. My heavily modded Fallout 4 runs perfectly on a 5800x or a i9 10900k but it is a stuttering mess on my i9 9900k. This is what my 5800x is for. In vanilla games at 1440p and 4k it is not an upgrade to my i9 9900k or i7 8086k.

Precision X1 also had a fix for the Windows black screen bug. For more info check out the EVGA 30 series forum. I did since my XC3 Ultra 3080 ti was experiencing black screens but it turned out to be an HDMI 2.1/OLED issue that was fixed by a certified HDMI 2.1 cable. Debug mode is the Nvidia default so it will remove any EVGA factory overclock and settings. If the card runs fine in debug mode then the issue is with EVGA factory settings. The XC ultra has a boost clock of 1755mhz and the Nvidia default is 1710mhz so the card will run at a lower clock and use less power. I have had several other issues with black screens. My i9 10900k/2080 ti computer was getting black screens while gaming that steadily got worse. The computer ran but the card did not. It turned out to be the 24 pin motherboard cable. I found the problem by accidently touching the cable and the screen went blank. A new cable fixed it.

These may be driver crashes. Try Precision X1 It may have a bios update for your card. Try Debug mode. It is in the Nvidia Control Panel under the Help tab.

The cases I use with NH-D15s are CM H500p ARGB(220mm wide) and their cooler height is 167mm. I would not like to go smaller. Also only one fan fits compared to 2 fans on my 2016 and older cases. The new cases are just as wide as the old cases but there is more room for cable management so less room for coolers.

The difference is basically if you want a higher score in Time Spy or Port Royal get the Extreme. I have an EVGA XC3 Ultra and with two 8 pin it has no overclocking headroom at all. It can do 20 more frames at 1440p than my overclocked FTW3 Ultra 2080 tis so I am happy with it. It also costs $1200. I am getting another 3080 ti and I don't care if it's another XC3 Ultra or a FTW3 Ultra. It is what ever comes first.

I am in the US and only buy at MSRP. I was on auto-notify for the FTW3 Ultra 3070 ti and the ASUS TUF. The EVGAs are a lot cheaper here but I would have gone for either one.

I have an EVGA XC3 Ultra 3080 ti. It is nice but it is not one of EVGA's aggressively overclocked versions. It is a bit of an under performer but it is still 20 frames more than the 2080 ti it replaced. I also have a ASUS Rog Strix OC 3080. It is aggressively overclocked but is so over engineered that it runs cool even using 450 watts. It is only $50 cheaper than the XC3 so the 3080 ti is a better buy. These and the Tuf are the best for this series but you pay for it. I got a MSI 3090 Gaming X Trio yesterday and the best way to describe it is that it is conservative. It's GPU and vram are relatively cool under load so I consider it a winner. it is faster than the EVGA 3080 ti but not by much. This one was bough for 8k editing. I have not gone for other brands since I was not happy with reviews and specs. So for me it is ASUS or MSI with EVGA as a third option. I still have one more to buy and this time it will be a 3080 ti either by ASUS, EVGA or MSI, witch ever comes first.

We shall see. I don't really like 1440p. I bought a 32" 1440p 144hz monitor to use for gaming but I made the mistake of sitting it beside my 32" 4k monitor and it did look bad. I also had a 3440 X 1440 monitor that was great for gaming but not for productivity. I am a fan of 1600p(2560 X 1600) since it fixes all the things I don't like about 1440p but it never really caught on.

Hurricane Andrew. Back then I mainly did 3D animations to video(1992). I lived in Miami but was in the UK when the storm hit. The neighborhood my apartment was in was intact but had no phone and no power. I could not get a flight back for another 2 weeks so I was worried about the state of my computers. Back then video was very expensive to do and the two computers I used were valued at $14,500 and 21,00. I had computer insurance(was not covered by home insurance) to cover any lose but that did not cover the lose of data. I had the computers covers, unplugged and up high in case of flooding so I was optimistic. When I got back the computers looked fine along with the frame accurate VCRs I used for recording but nothing worked. I forgot to unplug the UPSs and they were toast. The VCRs were plugged into them and they were toast as well. The computers were not plugged in but they did not work either. It turned out that the hard drives were damaged by static electricity but the rest of the computers were fine. The insurance company replaced all the damaged equipment but it marked the end of the 3D to video work I did. Fortunately design work picked up and that is what I eventually ended up doing full time.

I don't think 1440p will ever be the standard. 720p and 1080p are television standards and 1440p is not. Between 720p and 1080p I used 1280 X 1024, 1440 X 900 and 1680 X 1050. Non caught on and I don't expect 1440p to either. I expect it will go straight to 4k. That is where the consoles have gone even though most of the time it is upscaled content. It is still designed to play on a 4k TV.

I don't like 27" at 4k and I am waiting for an affordable 32" 120/144hz monitors. I have an editing rig that my Son uses when he is in town and it does use 2 4k 60hz monitors. Going 1440p is not an option for that setup but 60hz is a bit of a waist using a 3090. A good alternative is a 3840 X 1600 ultrawide since unlike 1440p, 1600 vertical pixels makes text sharp. I liked it for editing but my Son doesn't so it is used on a recording setup. For productivity I use a 49" IPS TV that is 4k 120hz 10 bit with a 30 series card that only cost $500. I like it but for most, including my Son it is too big. For gaming I use OLED TVs but they do burn in if used for productivity.

No. On average it is 10 frames at 1440p I have one on my i9 9900k rig and it did have a 2080 ti. For example Shadow Of the Tomb Raider at 1440p at the highest settings averages 133fps with a 2080 ti. With a 3080 it does 144fps. I did the upgrade because the TV the i9 is connected to needs HDMI 2.1 for 4k 120hz.

I would go with 1000 watts since we don't know if high end GPUs next gen or later will require even more power. Also switch the computer off at the PSU to reset it. It may start. My EVGA FTW3 Ultras did not like 850 watt PSUs and sometimes did not start unless I did that. That is how I ended up with all 1000 watt plus PSUs.

The model is an ASUS ROG Strix CO 3080. https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/63945593? The average on the 3080 is unusually high. The i9 9900k stock with a EVGA FTW3 Ultra 2080 ti scored well above average so I think the 3080 is beyond the stock i9 9900k. I have not pushed the card yet since the i9 is not one of my gaming rigs but at some point I will put it on a bench and see what it will do. Here it is with a proper overclock. https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/64110353?
