I recently purchased and installed an EVGA FTW3 Ultra RTX 3090TI and it seems as though the performance I am getting in game is the same if not worse than my Zotac 3070ti. Within the past year I have upgraded from a 2080 super to a 2080ti, and then the 3070ti and have seen steady increase in performance across each upgrade and was quite disappointed after installing the 3090ti. I play and stream Fortnite in 1080p and run the game on the lowest settings with the exception of the view distance which is on the max setting. I'll list my PC specs below and the troubleshooting steps I've already taken beneath them. On the 3070ti I was getting 400-600 fps in game and around 250-350 while streaming. On the 3090ti it benchmarked significantly higher on Kombustor than the 3070ti but in game I'm getting similar performance at times but fps generally seems to be lower and dropping on a much more consistent basis.
Specs:
CPU: i9-12900k (overclocked to 5.1-5.2 MHz on the P cores and in the high 4s on the E cores via Asus AI)
MB: ASUS ROG STRIX Z690-A
RAM: 4x8 GB Patriot Viper Steel DDR4-4400MHz (Running XMP 2 clocked at 4200MHZ but I have tried running them at varying speeds 3600/3800)
Storage: 1TB Samsung EVO980 Pro
PSU: EVGA 1000W Super Nova Gold (each of the three 8-pin connectors for power on the 3090ti has its own power cable running to the PSU)
Cooler: Corsair H150i Elite Capellix
Windows 11 x64
Monitor: Alienware 2521h 360hz
Troubleshooting Actions:
- I have gone through the BIOS settings and made sure to enable PCIE 4 for the Slot the card is on as well is disable power saving settings for the PCIE slot itself. - I did a clean install of NVIDIA drivers using DDU and it is currently running the Nvidia 512.16 GRD. (I have tried re-installing the driver as well, however I have not tried installing a previous driver version.) - I have ran the card with no CPU/RAM overclocking and with them overclocked as well as with re-size bar enabled and disabled. - I have already optimized windows power settings as well as disabling un-needed start up apps etc. - I have messed around with just about every setting in the NVIDIA control panel - On GPU-Z im reading that the core clock and memory clock are where they should be for the cards specs. I'm just at a loss as to what the problem could be. I've seen videos of the 3090 pushing 2000-3000 fps in Fortnite at its lowest settings (which is insane) but with my specs I was expecting something along those lines yet it seems as though the card is struggling. I wanted to reach out here and see if anyone had any input before i started contacting tech support.
