Hi there
I bought a 3080 in Dec 2020 and throughout it's life it's always been underperforming. I used to be able to run a bunch of twitch streams open on my 1080 and play games. I primarily play valorant on low res, all low settings and I never really put a thought to it. However, when it came to newer games, I struggle.
Hogwards Legacy I crashed to the point where i didn't bother playing anymore. I was only really able to play on low
Dirt 2 would crash right when the tutorial race started
More recently Diablo 4 crashes instantly unless I put the game on low/medium. On my brothers computer who's on a 3070 i was able to run the game on ultra with no problem.
My specs are:
AMD 3800x
MSI 3080 Trio X
Corsair 32gb 3600mhz
MSI B450 Tomahawk Max
Cooler Master V2 750w Gold
1440p
Occasionally on my task manager, I notice the GPU Graph spikes to max for half a second and i'm not too sure why.
Did I get a dud when i first bought my 3080?
