Question 3080 Driver issue help

[atomiczam]

Hi all,

I have an EVGA 3080 and it's been solid the last couples of years but starting with the last driver update I keep running into a massive issue. The GPU reports it's running at 100% when it's actually running at about 30%. I know it's running at such low capacity because it doesn't heat up and the FPS plummets. This makes pretty much any game unplayable unless I go 720p low settings. I mainly use afterburner to track it, but I get the same results with the superposition benchmark and hardware info.

Here's where I'm stuck. I fresh install the driver and everything works perfectly fine, but the second the PC goes to sleep, turns off, or restarts the issue comes back. Clean reinstall of drivers again, it goes away, until it sleeps. Rinse repeat since the update a little over a week ago.

Has anyone run into this or know of a fix?


geforce driver version is 555.85

Asus Z690-A
i7-13700k
32 gb DDR5 7200 (down clocked to 6400 for stability)
850w corsair PSU
3x gen 4 WD 1 TD M.2 drives

everything else is working fine.

Run ddu and roll back to the old driver version and don’t allow it to update the driver. Then wait for a newer version to be released that hopefully fixes it.
