[SOLVED] RTX 3080 alarmingly low performance

[BoondockSaint080]

So I recently paired my rtx 3080 with my r5 3600 (no this is not a bottenecking situation) and fired up rainbow six siege (using vulkan, as it has the edge in performance after numerous optimizations). In 1440p maxed out, it maintains 165fps at around 75-95% gpu usage. This is alarming to me as other benchmarks see it at 260fps avg using similar setups (albeit faster cpu's) but the gpu usage is evident of it capping off at around 200fps. With this information, I quickly turned to TAA to put my worries to rest. At TAA 4X @60% render scaling (just over 4k), the game manages a measly 100-120fps at full gpu usage, when it is supposed to easily reach 145-155fps. This is a near 30% decrease in peformance over benchmarks and i'm completely confused. I use the same settings as the benchmarker did and this is entirely gpu dependent, as i can see it maintain significantly higher fps averages through 1440p native with no antialiasing. Any help is appreciated

Adding to what others wrote already, not to many people knows that Rainbow Six Siege is actually one of those games that perform basically the same on almost all mid to high end CPUs (either be AMD or Intel) and even at 1080p

So yeah system may need a good clean and start fresh.

Also there are a few options you can touch inside 3D settings (nvidia control panel) to get the best performance, and thios magic numbers you see in most youtube benchmarks.

And actually if you just grabbed the new RTX 3080 and swapped GPUs, maybe R6S is one of those games that needs to be reinstalled to detect the new GPU properly.

@Phaaze88, what's so funny...? Here, I'll even help out the OP.
Here's the Ryzen 5 3600 WITH RTX 3080 Userbenchmarks (for starters) - https://www.userbenchmark.com/PCBuilder/Custom/S0-M810675.1291515vsS0-M?tab=GPU#Benchmarks

This took 2 minutes to get. You can further drill down the components to get closer to what you have.
