Question Did I recieve a faulty 3080?

[MrGriffyn]

Just recently I bought a 3080 and across the games I play I randomly crash to desktop. My temps according to ICue are fine, while gaming GPU will reach 58-62 and cpu a little below that. Before I got this 3080 I had a 1080 and never crashed while playing any games. Once I installed my 3080 I did a DDU and then downloaded 3080 drivers from geforce experience. I am starting to wonder if my card is just bad. Here is my rig

Reference: "and across the games I play I randomly crash to desktop "

Look in Reliability History and Event Viewer. Either one or both may be capturing some error code, warning, or even just an informational event when the random crashes happen.

How old is the PSU? Original, new, refurbished, used? History of heavy gaming use?

Disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, how full?

Are you using a pcie riser cable?
Are the power cables the original for the psu and are you using any extension cables?
