Solution: give me the 3080. No more 3080, no more problems :000

Bad solution.

Good luck with that

what if... if I make my own GPUs?
Lets mod a 2000 series into a "3000" one! 🙂

Solution: give me the 3080. No more 3080, no more problems :000

Hello good people,
 
my 3080 always stays at a locked 1710MHz (which is the advertised boost clock of my paricular model) and consumes 100W at idle. Normally it should clock down to around 500MHz and consume more like 30W when idling. I've had this issue before and somehow fixed it. But i can't remember how. My energy settings are "balanced" in Windows and "normal" in the Nvidia driver. DDUing does not fix it. I have no OC app like Afterburner installed, no GeForce Experience, etc. I have no idea why my GPU is doing this.
 
I hope someone can help me fix this again...
 
If needed, exact model of the GPU and full system specs are in my signature.

In the Nvidia Control Panel there's a Power Management Mode option under Manage 3D Settings. Is that what you're saying is set to Normal? I've only ever seen Optimal Power, Prefer Max Performance, and Adaptive.
 
Using Adaptive or Optimal Power should allow it to downclock.

No, its deinetely a ARGB JRAINBOW 5v header. It's a MSI B550M PRO-VDH WiFi.

Basically. Depends on the games a lot of the time. But its just an overclocked 2080 Super Vs. a stock 2080 Ti.
There is a sizeable performance boost with Zen 3.
Hope this helps

I took out the two screws and the thing in the image below came off. This has a removable plastic layer on it. Wondering what ths is for.
I tried putting the GPU in, and I did, but it was wobbly, so I took it out again. Is the thing pictured supposed to help it stand up straight?
 
Please dont shit on me for asking stupid questions
 
Thanks
 

That would be an upgrade, that I wouldn't go for personally as it's a bit small, but the TX550M will handle it fine as well.
 
TBH 550W is more than enough for pretty much every modern system. Excluding HEDT and Dual GPU of course.

lmao, reddit people go reeeeeeeee
 
seriously though, the forums is a better place to ask about PCs

Hehe.... 
 
and this is again why i never recommend anyone ask for PC advice on reddit. dedicated forums are generally better.

this question could be asked to every single thing I have every posted on this website and every single time the answer would be I HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE
 
Thanks for saying that the a2000 would be fine, that helps a lot.

Heya! I am currently budgeting a new gaming pc although where I am now, I feel as though it's a little too pricy. If possible, recommendations on how to cut about £50 off of this build without sacrifising too much would be greatly appreciated. No peripherals or Monitors are needed. Thanks
