Question Gpu upgrade - Power issue

[Mikeyzig]

Hi,

I recently upgraded my GPU for my sons pc.

Recently I had changed this pc to an ultra wide monitor setup 3440*1440 *120hz and the 1080ti I had in there was struggling a bit on some games. It had been doing ok, but then I noticed the frames dropping heavily on occasions (might be linked to current issue)

So I got a used 2080ti for a good price, don't fancy waiting for new 3 series for now.

Install of card was fine, I did a fresh install of Windows etc as the performance was not as expected, despite removing old drivers, ddu etc.

The performance is poor, less performance than I was getting with my 1080ti.

I am wondering if my PSU is faulty. Is a Corsair 750x, about 18 months old. I have 32gb of DDR 4 3000 ram and a ryzen 2600 cpu.

When I run 3d Mark with the OSD from afterburner on, putting the power at 112 % and look at the power number, it will start the benchmark at the 112% for maybe 1 second or 2 and then drop down to a max of 70% for the remainder of the test.

Does this point to a PSU issue. The card appears to be operating fine, does not go above 65 degrees under load and all seems well on that front.

Appreciate any help please.

Thanks


Update: Fixed, card is faulty.

hi, u arent bottlenecked by power limit.
it just means GPU has a headroom to overclock to (if needed)
so, u should look for now at values of your GPU clock and GPU load
if GPU load is around 100% while GPU clock is like 2000+MHz, then all should be fine (as far as GPU self overclock goes)
u can ncrease GPU voltage a little bit and bump up some GPU base clock, that should get u closer to power limit

other than that, run userbenchmark, then post web page link to your result, to see if your hardware works as it should
