I was playing Black ops cold war, my game froze and I waited a while bc I was working on an Easter egg that took me about 1.5hrs to do & it froze when I was about to complete it. I couldn't open any other application so I had to restart my pc. It was making that noise before I had restarted it and continued after and now it won't go away. Any ideas on what happened and how can I fix this? It sounds like its coming from my gpu which Is a 3080 so it kinda worries me and makes me think I need to RMA. 2116724852_Untitled23_1080p.mp4

Let me know if you ever figure this out

I'm just curious though, why is my performance worse than the 1080ti? Also I know a guy that gets 250fps easily at 1080p with a 3080 + i9 10900k, you say its not much of an upgrade yet I'm still stuck at 120fps in war zone. Sometimes it dips to 90. Here's a video https://youtu.be/CbYijfysNA0

I'm waiting for the predator monitor actually that comes in 1440p 240hz, not sure if ill be able to hit 250+fps on a 1440p monitor though.

Should I get them or wait for a new Intel cpu?

If I were to upgrade to an i9 10900k would that still not be sufficient? The card being in the x8 slot was actually an accident lol

I've tried both ddu and reinstalling my game

I've already used ddu, not sure what else to do other than moving it to the x16 slot. Even after the slight increase in performance its still not enough from what I've seen.

Same settings, I did remove the old drivers.

Before I say anything here is my build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9zCgTC I swapped out my 1080ti ftw3 for the 3080 xc3 ultra. There was barely any improvements in any of my games, some have suffered performan issues. I used to get about 160fps on average in mw 2019 with my 1080, now I'm only getting 170fps on average. I even tried minecraft and my pc was struggling until I turned the render distance down and made the game look like Cartoon. The temps for both my gpu & cpu are very low, under 65c. I'm not sure if its because my cpu isn't good enough or if its because I'm pla
