GPU power drops and game drops frames

[Mando772004]

so ive been having this issue since my last pc which had a r5 3600 and a rtx 2080 super and 16gb ram all powered by a 650w psu. i got a totally new pc with a rtx 3080 r7 5800x and 32gb ram powered with 850w psu

full specs of new pc:

rtx 3080 msi gaming x trio stock settings latest driver(new)

r7 5800x stock settings(new)

32gb ram 3200mhz corsair vengeance rgb pro(new) xmp is on

b550 tomahawk(new)

2x HDD 1x 1tb WD caviar green(very old) and 1x 2tb seagate barracuda(from previous system)

2x ssd 1x nvme 250gb(from previous system) 970 evo plus samsung and 1x sata m.2 450gb kingston (os drive which is new)

windows 10 pro activated

GX850 PSU from seasonic 80+ gold

g7 odyssey 1440p 240hz monitor 

 

 

things ive tried:

reinstalling drivers using ddu 

reseating gpu and pcie cables of gpu

try another gpu (1080 Ti) still had the stuttering and gpu power drop but happened less due to it running at way lower frames than my 3080

tried another ram 

removed all the hdd and ssd that were from my old computer which are the 970 evo plus and the 2 hard drives and installed a clean copy of windows on my brand new kingston m.2 sata drive

turning off xmp

tweaking windows settings 

checking if any background apps are running

turning off instant replay

using old gpu driver

making sure temps are ok

tweaking nvidia control panel settings

turning off gsync

turning off one of my 2 monitors

 

 

i have tried everything software related i think the issue is beyond software, i have a suspicion its my surge protector or my power outlet because im not convinced that my corsair tx650m from my old system and my gx850 psu from my current system are faulty.

 

 

here is a video of what happens:

 

 

i did try limiting frames to no avail but even if it worked, why limit the frames i have the same right as someone else who owns the same specs and doesnt need to limit frames. i dont know it just makes me annoyed that this happens to me and me only.

 

 

any help would be greatly appreciated, i can come discord if someone wants it would be much easier and i could send screenshots/videos of anything you require to help me

Nice video. If you check the top left corner you can see that clockspeed remain stable.. FPS is also stable. So power dosen't matter

hey i think that u r psu might be the problem 

try changing it because a 650W for a rtx 2080super is cutting it close

@InfernalClawcan you make a longer video? 4 seconds of video are giving no information. As Nick already said your clockspeed and frames remain stable.

i dont know if you actually think its nice or its sarcasm anyways. are you sure? i mean thats from 300+ to less than 300 w in a second is weird and only happens to me amongst my friends

i did 4 seconds because video size becomes too large. will lower the quality

@SiNC_BZH hope this is enough. you can see right around the end of the video the game stutters or drops frames whatever you call it but it was noticeable on my end. the game freezes for like half a second and power drops

Is it weird thoug? My gpu does the same thing.. You can also see a massive difference when loading games.. When loading tarkov for example. My 1080 ti goes from 170W total powerdraw to 344W when in game. Also ingame it wil vary depending on level and diffeculty of the different areas of the map.

 

The thing is 30 series has massive voltage spikes and it could be that.. Have you tried going to nvidia control panel and setting maximum power.

Could just be the game. I would try different games and compare

also i see people on youtube with similar specs (rtx 3080 r7 5800x) and they dont get those power drops and fps drops

I'm gonna be 100% honest. I don't see any problem.

also are you sure power dropping from 320 to 280 is normal?

Looks normal to me since there is no drop in FPS and/or frequency. A drop in power draw can have multiple reasons and don't necessarily mean something is wrong with the card and/or power delivery.

how many frames dropped would be dangerous. i notice it drops 10 frames or less sometimes
