Low FPS on 3080 ti. Nobody else seems able to help, so I'm hoping someone here can.

[Kang.Roux]

Since I got my 3080ti I have been having pretty bad performence in terms of FPS.

 

I noticed that I get much lower frames (25%-30% lower) than friends running a 2080. For example, in Destiny 2 I get between 100-130 FPS, where a 400< is expected from my card at 1920x1080.\

 

Funny enough, lowering graphics settings from highest to lowest does not change the frames I get. (Yes I did check that the FPS cap in game is off)

 

My drivers are up to date, and I have tried older drivers as well. 

 

The same is true for all other games I play

 

Here are my specs:

 

MSI GTX 3080 Ti gaming x trio 12G

Ryzen 9 3950X at 4,2 GHz

64GB Klevv Bolt X 3200MHz DDR4

Klevv Cras 7 NVMe SSD

ASUS ROG STRIX B550 Gaming F

 

CPU Temps never exceed 70 degrees C

GPU Temps never exceed 60 degrees C

 

The attached image is in the games lobby.

 

Any help would be so much appreciated. I have been trying to fix this for way too long.

Did you check the power cables ?

Yeah. I have cables from cablemod, so the GPU is getting all of the juice it needs. I have also tried three of the default cables, all plugged in seperately on the GPU.

[Kang.Roux]

I see now that running furmark, my FPS does not exceed 144 despite freesync and g-sync being disabled?

GPU clock seems a bit low. What setting do you have checked in NVCP under "Power management mode" ? Try "Maximum Performance" and see if clock goes higher. But i think the gpu is bottlenecked by something else ... you could check if the card runs on the right pcie gen and in the correct slot.

[Nerai]

Hello, is your docp ram profile activated in the bios, a friend of mine had a big bottleneck because of this.

What Power Supply do you have?

Can you run a 3D Mark benchmark and post your results?

Did you recently switch to that Card? If so whats the card you had before?

What are your Windows Power Settings?

Is hardware accelerated GPU scheduling on or off?

Is windows game mode on or off?

That will make the GPU run at full speed during workloads which could fix it but most likely won't do a lot if anything plus with 30 series there is a problem with that setting.

30 series cards don't clock down when done with the workload under "max performance" which means your card will run full speed afterwards even in idle.

what the heck is that memory clock speed

 

what are you running? 10,000MHz DDR6?

Sorry if someones already suggested this, but check Nvidia control panel, as it often limits framerates

[Ephreal]

Your GPU is running at 35%, so you have a limiter somewhere.

 

Do you use RTSS ? it has a global limiter, check that.

100%. Something is holding that card back. I'd ddu the current drivers and reinstall the newest ones and see if that helps

Thanks for the response. 

 

It is on the maximum Performance setting in NVCP. 

Card is in top slot, and set to Gen 4.

 

Will continue troubleshooting.

I have a corsair RM1000x.

 

Will attach.

 

I did, and was using a msi GTX 1080ti Gaming x 11g before upgrading.

 

Windows power settings are set to Gaming Turbo.

 

Hardware accelerated GPU scheduling is enabled.

 

It is on. 

 

Thanks for the help, I will continue troubleshooting.

Last thing you might want to check is your Hot Spot temperature. Use HWiNFO64 and see what you get there when running the game. If there is something wrong with your heat pads the card will throttle and the normal monitor apps does not look at the Hot Spot sensor since its a rather new addition to graphics cards. Ive seen that even at 55°C core temp the Hot Spot Sensor would measure around 88°C

hot spot measures around 92 degrees C when general temp is at 70 Degrees

 Is this a problem?

This was after a 10 minute benchmark with fans at auto.

Definitely a CPU issue.

 

To give you an idea my 5800x does 11943 on the CPU score with a EVGA XC3 Ultra 3080 ti(reference) doing 19259 in the graphics score.

CPU=11943 Graphics=19259 Total=17638

 

My 3080 ti Gaming X Trio with a i9 10900kf does a higher score since it has more cores and a better GPU.

CPU=14323 Graphics=20029 Total=18899

 

These are with +100 on the core and +800 on the memory but all my 30 series cards can do this and stay cool. Even my MSI Gaming X Trio 3090.

 

Your score should be higher since Time Spy likes more cores.

I see conflicting things. The first image you show, only shows 35% load @1600 ish Mhz. But this images shows that it does max out on 1950Mhz at 99% load. And at 350Watts which looks perfectly normal. Although your memory is hot though.

 

Are you using MSI afterburner ?

Another thing to try is, if your running windows, is to make a new User and start a game. (You can probably do the same for Linux, but my Linux fu is not great)

 

Mine runs at 105,6°C currently and yes thats a problem im looking into atm. But that should suggest that 95 is not a problem.

Never heard of that setting. Make sure the Link State Power Management in that profile is set to off. To find that setting: change plan setting -> change advanced power settings -> PCI Express

Your TimSpy score is pretty low for both the CPU and GPU. Which means it probably is something CPU related, which means it could also be RAM.

Is your Ram in in the right slots?

The GPU Temps are are a bit on the high side.

Those are normal VRAM speeds for 3070Ti and up.

I guess you haven't heard of GDDR6X yet ?

oh, it's the GPU ram

 

I thought it was your actual ram lmao

 

ig I was kind of close to being right though, saying DDR6

I have DDU'd drivers and reinstalled to no avail.

 

All of my ram slots are filled, 4x16GB

 

that is worrying...

The first screenshot I posted was of my performance in destiny 2. In Furmark or Timespy, the Card seems to do its thing, but in any game, the numbers are quite low\

[xg32]

i'm leaning something cpu/ram related, check ur ram settings in cpu-z, ur cpu score on that 3dmark is super low and that can spill over into gpu problems. That'd also be most appearant in fps games.

I’m not sure if you ever figured this out, but I had a similar issue with my 3080Ti. When I first got it, performance was amazing. But the last couple of months I’ve dropped below 90fps in every game (1440p).

 

After a long time of troubleshooting, one of my 16GB x2 ram sticks was loose and not seated properly. So I was playing in single channel 2133mhz. I couldn’t believe it. One I seated the other ram stick I turned on XMP1 (3600mhz I believe) and now it’s blazing fast again and my FPS is back to where it should be. Hopefully your issue was something as simple.
