Good morning guys!
So I bought a brand-new RTX 2080 on Newegg just roughly 2 weeks ago.
The model is ASUS Rog Strix RTX 2080 O8G (Boost Clock 1890 Mhz).
The gpu sits at 50C max during full load in Heaven, Valley, and Superposition stress test. It was all stable for all of the above bench test as I didn't apply any manual custom overclock.
I played GTA5 and BF5 with this card for a week and noticed that GPU usage (shown by riva tuner OSD from MSI AfterBurner) was always at 99% during game. This was observed consistently for the whole week. CPU usage, on the other hand, was never above 50%.
HOWEVER, for the past 4 days, during gaming, GPU usage almost always appears less than 98%. It fluctuates between 70% and 90%, and sometimes just sit at flat 80% the whole time. This was causing my fps to drop significantly.
Is this a sign that my gpu is dying or that I received a somewhat defective unit? Should I return this card or exchange a new one?
My system spec:
