rtx 3080 RTX 3080 Performance problems

[LethaR]

Hello! So, let me explain. I received (FINALLY) my msi rtx 3080 gaming x trio 2 days ago, im studying at my university so i couldnt do every test i wanted to. But, the thing is that previously i had an ASUS 24" 1080p 180hz display, i know a 3080 was pretty overkilled for that so i switched to a 34" ultrawide 3440x1440p 144hz, because i think that resolution and 4k are the best to get all the power the 3080 can deliver. I run Destiny 2, everything on high (not ultra) i was topping at 144fps due to my vsync configuration, so pretty nice there. In The Witcher 3 im getting also 144fps, dropping into 120s and 130s everything on high (no hairworks), so I THINK that performance is normal at 3440x1440 aswell. The problem comes in COD Warzone, i was getting like 80-90 fps everything on high, so i felt a bit bad. I turned down nearly everything, so the game was running at a mixture of low-medium-high graphics (no Raytracing enabled) and even there my fps stayed at an average of 110-120... according to some videos and reviews fps in warzone with the 3080 at that resolution should stay at its 140s everything on high, so dont know whats happening. My CPU can't be the bottleneck, is a i7 9700k, and at 3440p cant do that much. One point i took in count was that im using my GPU with a phanteks vertical mount, so its not directly connected to de PCIe express port, can that be the problem or is it something else?

Whats the deal then?

Some engines are limited in terms of max fps

Sorry i sent the message before finishing it, now i explained the problem.

I don't know what framerates you were expecting. That seems pretty inline with 3080 performance.

 

edit: Warzone is trash. Don't ever benchmark your performance by how Warzone runs. Terribly and I can not state this enough TERRIBLY opitmized game.

yeah i know… with a 1080ti and 1080p mi cpu (the 9700k) was nearly dying at a 80-90% usage and pretty high temps even with a 360mm aio, and also the fps didnt change to much dropping down every setting, but i was expecting so much more with the 3080, so 80-90fps seemed a little off for me.

Pick a game that's optimized well and you should see ~60% difference at 1440p between a 1080Ti and a 3080. At 4K is where the difference is bigger at around 80%.

yeah the problem is that i never saw my 1080ti performance in 1440p ultrawide, because i switched monitor and gpu at the same time, but i was expecting to get similar fps i got with the 1080ti at 1080p but now with the 3080 at 1440p ultrawide, so seeing only 80s and 90s at warzone high settings scared me a little bit. So the phanteks vertical mount cant be the problem then?

Doubt it. You can check in your bios what speed your PCI-E slot is running at. If it's running at 16x (even PCI-E 3.0) it won't be the problem. You can also open MSI afterburner and see what mhz is the card boosting to.

Also read the first line of my signature. A lot of people bought into the Ampere hype way too much and believed Nvidia's claims of 2x performance. Reality is it's 2x power consumption for 50-60% performance outside of 4K (but at 4K you might get limited by VRAM so that's another issue in and of itself)

Well see there is the issue. If the cpu is already at 80-90% then there is basically no headroom left to use and the fps will be capped by how much the cpu can feed the gpu. This is typical warzone behavior and there is little you can do about it because well it's a badly optimized game that was as always pushed out the door as soon as possible by activision.
