[SOLVED] Evga RTX 3080 XC3 Can't Play Destiny 2 but Runs Other Games

[BlessedNoob]

I ran multiple benchmarks, time spy, heaven with overclock and no overclock and it ran perfectly fine. Now trying to play Destiny 2 and it just crashes, cannot get passed character select. Anyone have any ideas? Its not thermal throttling, temps are >
<70C and vram is <60C changed the pads already.

Previously had a 2080ti, used DDU then updated to latest drivers, and still same issue. Swapping back to 2080ti Destiny runs fine

Not sure if power is an issue? EVGA 750 G2 card pulled around 310-320 watts during the benchmarks just fine. Cpu is 5800x also overclocked. 32gb Gskill 3200mhz

Doom runs, and in game, Witcher 3 in game, cyberpunk in game, attempting benchmark crashes. Rise of the Tomb Raider runs and can benchmark. Destiny 2 still crashes, going to test card in other computer. Then depending on wether Destiny 2 runs I will reinstall windows

You can try giving this a try https://www.drivereasy.com/knowledge/solved-destiny-2-beyond-light-crashing-on-pc/ I would highly recommend NOT using the driver easy to auto update drivers

Make sure bios is updated to the version with Agesa 1.2.0.3. Update motherboard chipset drivers.
If you save your cpu OC to a bios profile, you can return it after.

I'm thinking it's a power issue inherent in the Ampere cards. If the power limits and user OC are pushed, the transient loads hit higher and faster than the caps can reload, temporarily starving the card of power, which then crashes. If you have any user OC on the gpu, undo it.

A 750w is a little on the short side for a 3080/5800x OC, it's not the sustained loads, that's well within spec, it's the spike loads basically messing with OCP. That can happen more often with the lower grade cards not using a custom PCB and power circuitry, the FTW for instance tends not to crash because of its tightly regulated transient responses.

Motherboard is updated. Is Agesa 1.2.0.3 bios for the gpu? I tried to install PX1 and it won't even open. Newest drivers are installed with ddu. Someone did recommend to undervolt and lock the core so it won't bounce off the power limit. I did stress test with prime95 and furmark and no crashes.

I have a 1300w psu I just got that I plan on installing. Stress test was with no oc applied. It's strange that every other game I tested ran fine, and even benchmarks and the stress test. I will give it a try when I get home.

All that is already done. The issue is related to the 3080. When I swap the 2080ti back in it runs the game perfect like it used to. Drivers are updated used ddu and then reinstalled. 3080 runs all other games fine, 3dmark benchmarks are no issue, furmark is fine.

Agesa is cpu, pc bios. It has the most stable memory tables and updated instructions etc.

Moving to the 1300w psu (if it's a decent psu) should solve this issue, it's got much larger capacity caps that aren't drained by the transient loads, so has power to spare, tide the psu over when the gpu hits.

Furmark is a constant load, it's brutal on a gpu, but doesn't have the instant up/down demands that games do. Prime95 is the same, but cpu based, constant stable workload.

It's like holding a candy apple, you can tilt it any direction with no worries, but shake it back and forth fast and the whiplash is going to make that apple fly off the stick. Your 2080ti doesn't have the transient load spikes, it's a lot more stable output, so works fine on that psu, but Ampere cards do suffer from the spikes, badly, and plague all major gpu OEMs, Seasonic, SuperFlower Great Wall, FSP, CWT etc all the same. It's especially evident in the 3080/ti/3090 cards.
