Question My gpu run at only 60% of his performance

Hi everyone,
I recently ran a 3DMark benchmark and noticed that my GPU is performing significantly below average compared to other systems with the same configuration. What’s strange is that a few months ago, I ran the same benchmark and actually scored slightly above average.
I haven’t made any hardware changes since then, so I’m not sure what could be causing this drop in performance.
Has anyone experienced something similar or have any ideas on what might be going on? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

No hardware changes noted: what about software - any new apps, games, utilities.

What about updates: OS, software, device drivers, etc...

Installed RAM & RAM configuration?

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

Perhaps one or more of the drives is filling up....

Open the Disk Management window and expand so all can be fully seen and read.

Take a screenshot and post the screenshot here via imgur (www.imgur.com > green "New post" icon).

Overall, I would not react to just one benchmark run. Something else may have been going on at the same time. ..

Run the benchmark a few times - how much does the performance % vary?
 
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

First thing that caught my attention is;
rtx 3080 ti
msi a750gf gold

Due to high transient load spikes, people who owned an RTX 3000 series were advised to over provision on their PSU's wattage when buying a unit for said GPU series. In this regard, you're advised to look at a reliably built 1KW unit.

You're on BIOS version 4003;

you have BIOS versions pending update.

On the topic of motherboards, have the wrong motherboard for that power hungry processor. I'd have looked into an MSI Tomahawk B550 chipset board if you were planning on a Ryzen 9 5900x.

Run DDU to remove all GPU drivers(Intel, AMD and Nvidia) in Safe Mode, then manually install the latest GPU driver sourced from Nvidia's support site, in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator.
