Using MSI Afterburner, can't get full performance with 7 Days to Die

Hardware:

  • rtx 3080 (latest drivers)
  • ryzen 5700X3D
  • 32gb of ram

 

Sw:

  • Win 10
  • MSI afterburner latest vers
  • HW info to look at temps (just in case, but it's not an issue)

 

What's happening:

I have tweaked my 3080, and hit a steady 2040mhz at 968mV when I play No Man's Sky, or Red Dead 2, but whenever I play 7 Days to Die, the card itself limits to 1800Mhz, even though the memory is still OC'ed. Funny thing, it also consumes a hell lot of power (300W), and gives terrible performance (that game is so poorly optimized, it's a disaster...)

What is it with DX11? Or is it something else? Is there a way to unlock performance? Settings for DX11 that I could set somewhere? I dont get it, quite frankly.

Could be error correcting.  Just because your overclock is stable in game A, B and C doesn't mean it'll be stable in game D.  I remember my old 1070.  Had a overclock on the memory and the core.  (can't remember the numbers) Ran beautifully in everything....until Red Dead 2 came out.  I was nearly crying when I had to turn all my overclocks off 😭  I was so proud of them at the time 🤣

 With all the Trolls, Try Hards, Noobs and Weirdos around here you'd think i'd find SOMEWHERE to fit in!

Error correcting shouldnt lower perf of the core, and it's the core clock that is lower than what it can handle. I can lower mem clock and retest though.

I removed all OC and interestingly, the card actually performed "better" when using 7d2d so you're definitely onto something. I now need to check whether I'm not hurting performance in other games as well in some fashion, and find the right balance for 7d2d.
