check power, temps and core usage during load, make sure the fans are on and it's not overheating (some cards are default off), if you haven't ddu'd try that.

All of a sudden my RTX 3080 is not being utilized properly. It is detected in device manager, but I have to disable then re-enable it in device manager whenever I turn on my computer for it to work properly. I have my onboard graphics disabled via BIOS, and even when turned on it sees little utilization. In game I get 40 fps, and after disabling and re-enabling the card I get my capped FPS of 144. I have re-seated the GPU, and wiped and reinstalled drivers to no avail. I have also tested my old 980 and that works fine.

Here is a dxdiag as well: https://i.imgur.com/vSDdW3r.png

I was able to fix it, for some reason MSI Afterburner was severely limiting the power draw to the GPU. It was only getting about 100 W, instead of 300. Resetting the settings in MSI Afterburner fixed it.
