Recently i bought a Lenovo Rtx 3080 (10GB) which is made by MSI and is basically a MSI Ventus Rtx 3080 (10GB) i was switching from a GTX 1060 (6gb) hopping to gain some more fps on games that i play, but the fps gains are just not there, been playing games like battlefield 2042, (preset auto ULTRA Quality) and i get like 110 fps whenever there is no shooting or anything like that but as soon as the scene gets populated on firefights, i dip down to 60fps 70fps 80fps, 90fps and keep in mind this is at 1920x1080, Same with another game that i play Squad, 1920x1080 resolution, Preset High and Ultra give me like 110 fps whenever there is no fights or anything like that and as soon as firefights start i get 60fps 70fps 80fps, i been trying to fix this problem for 2 weeks now no matter what i do, Reinstalled Windows 11 nothing changed, Switched to a clean Windows 10 installation same issue, i thought my cpu was the problem however my cpu temps during gaming are at 75C and the Gpu temps max go at 83c 85c, not the best temps but still should not cause this kind of issue (i think)
My userbenchmarks testing gives me these results
UserBenchmarks: Game 130%, Desk 85%, Work 122%
CPU: Intel Core i5-11600K - 81.4%
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3080 - 158.7%
SSD: OCZ Agility 3 240GB - 55.9%
HDD: WD WD10EACS-00ZJB0 1TB - 50.6%
RAM: Unknown 3600 C20 Series 2x8GB - 106.1%
MBD: Asus PRIME B560M-A

Now The cpu says it performs under the expectation cause while troubleshooting it i disabled the turbo boost and i am making it run under base clock
I have tried everything Bios is updated i am Running a Asus B560M-A motherboard i updated also the vBios of the RTX 3080, Drivers have been updated all using Iobit Driver Booster, Fresh Copy of Windows 10 Reinstall, Windows 10 is running 22H2 Update. Nvida power settings are under performance mode, Gsync is disabled, Refresh rate is running under Fixed refreshed rate

Here are the temps that they are running under

I have tried everything no idea what i can do anymore
 
Your cpu should have better temps when its gaming because my gaming my 13900k is on 50-60 temp and your cpu is much more lower, Though about repasting your CPU and getting better airflow on your computer?

Also whats your monitor brand and modal and have you thought testing 3080 on 2k monitor and such 1440P also these days people are using ssd cards to game not hardrives because 240GB ssd is not really enough because checking your link 130% on gaming full green bar is kinda good!

So i am getting a new cpu cooler here soon Dark Rock Pro 4 to help me out with the cpu temps under gaming, also i repasted the cpu 2 days ago with new thermal paste, my Monitor the one that i am using is AOC C27G2Z 240hz 1980 x 1080 also i have not tested the rtx 3080 on a 2k monitor
 
I had similar issues with the RTX 4080. I also play at 1080p and with a 144HZ monitor.
For me the issue was that my RTX 4080 was running with PCIe x16 BUT at 1.1 speeds, when it was clearly capable of going at 4.0 speeds.
I was looking at your GPUZ screenshot and thats the first thing I noticed: Your card is capable of PCIe 4.0 speeds and in x16 mode, but its running at PCIe 2.0 speeds in x16 mode.

Read the following carefully, because it MAY NOT apply to your case: My issue was that I switched to the new AM5 platform. And before AGESA 1.0.0.3a all the new RTX 40 series card would be stuck at PCIe 1.1 speeds. At that point, I havent made a BIOS update ever since I got the new motherboard. I did a BIOS update and the speeds changed. You can see it on a post I made here months ago where people helped me to solve this issue and you can see there before and after in terms of PCIe speeds.

Why am I bringing this up? Maybe I could be wrong, but since your card is not running the expected speeds (PCIe 2.0 instead of 4.0) thats leaving out some of the FPS you could potentially get. Search for people who may have had issues with PCIe speeds on the RTX 30 series platform. Maybe there is an issue specifically for those series of cards that COULD or COULD NOT be BIOS related.
Also you commented having peaks of temp around 83 to 85 Celsius. Thats usually the where some GPUs may start thermal throttling. My 4080 under max load will never go over 65 Celsius. Make sure you got nice airflow, or even play with the fan curve, in order to improve those specs.

As always, take this with a grain of salt and I hope you find what you are looking for.

Your processor is not going to turbo speed! Either you have something set wrong or it's thermal throttling.
Hit the blue? in GPUZ where it says X16 2.0 and make sure that changes.

I would restore all original video card settings.

EDIT Drivers have been updated all using Iobit Driver Booster

Never use junk software to update drivers!!!!!!!

You also need to list your power supply the exact one your using.

Hi thanks for all the replies you guys are giving me to the problem that i am having, i greatly appreciate you all, i ran some new tests and these are the benchmark results with the cpu running at turbo speeds
also i did what you guys said on Gpuz the rendering test and speeds did change

The psu that i am running is rated for 700w 80+ Gold the exact name i do not remember

Thats a good sign then! Mine wouldnt change at all lol.
Then maybe like someone else suggested above, your temps could be holding you back. I cant see well the temps in the last pic. Is it running at 61 or 81 C?

I believe it says 61c, that's just the osd from the Asus Gpu Tweak 3, yeah the temps could be the reason but even when i am running the cpu on temps of 60c and the Gpu on temps of 75c i still get the problem with the fps just dipping from 100+ to 70fps 80fps, and its like this with every game i try to run

When you have a lot of background stuff running the UBM numbers get a little wonky.

Reboot.
Wait a few mins.
Run ubm with the browser closed.
Post a LINK to the results page.
 
userbenchmark isn't really useful for diagnosing problems because it doesn't give detailed results or logs. Try running 3dmark and looking at the graphs upon run completion to see what the GPU/CPU are doing under load.
 
Hey, do the following and see if we get any results.

Go to the BIOS and enable XMP. Its not normally detrimental to performance to have it off but it's something that should be done on every enthusiast's PC.
Go to Control Panel>Power Options>Open the bottom drop-down menu and select High Performance.
Most importantly, go back to Nvidia Control Panel>Manage 3D Settings>Power Management Mode and switch it to 'Prefer Maximum Performance'.

What these three things will do is make your RAM, CPU and GPU perform at their maximum and disable some rudimentary power saving features.
Any CPU temps under 100c are fine and will not throttle.
Any GPU temps under 85c are fine and will not noticeably throttle.

These are basic settings that should be changed when users are experiencing performance issues in games.
If these changes resolve the issues, consider also setting 'Low Latency Mode' to Ultra, enabling 'GSync', and setting the 'Max Frame Rate' to 238 in the Nvidia Control Panel.

Happy gaming.

IMO, one of the most important things that UBM provides is background CPU usage. There are a few other deets that are helpful in seeing what things are set at, how they are running and so forth. So, where in itself it doesn't provide the graphs and whatnot, it is a known quanity for providing some of those other bits of information that one could ask LOADS of questions and still be muddy about.

In this case, 33% background use would cripple the performance of any system based on what you should expect.

Hi so i did what you guys said using 3DMark test here is a link to the results (https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/98715237)

Is my fps supposed to be this low !?
Also my settings have been changed to what you guys suggested

Your 3dmark numbers don't look too far off (slightly low, but nothing is consider anomalous) where they should be. For some context here's my FPS when running a custom voltage curve and 400W power on the 12GB 3080 (has a slight bump on cores over 10GB model):
Graphics Test 1
129.72 fps
Graphics Test 2
111.09 fps

Looks like your CPU isn't giving you maximum boost which could be temps related, but it is boosting still so that's a good sign.

The 3080 doesn't seem that far off from where it should be, especially for stock settings on an OEM card. It would be worth checking with GPU-Z/Afterburner to see what the power limit is set to for the card (you should be able to tell by putting load on it and looking at power draw). I'm assuming it will be 320W which is nvidia default, but many cards were set higher than that which skews average results if you're trying to compare.

It would be worth monitoring performance while you're playing these games, because you should be able to tell what's going on when it drops. There might be dips or spikes in clockspeeds or utilization of the CPU/GPU.

Yeah i have been testing my setup all day yesterday playing games, seeing what is doing under load, and the one thing that always happens whenever my fps drops is that the scene starts getting populated and i think after all the testing with 3DMark and such, my cpu is overheating considerably and can not keep up feeding data to the Rtx 3080, thus causing the massive fps drops, the rtx 3080 under load hits like 320w 340w but whenever the scene starts getting populated it drops to like 260w there is cases that it drops to 160w and whenever it does this the fps drops too also i did a 3DMark test for the Cpu and average temperature was hitting 91 °C, so i think the overheating of the cpu is what is causing this, got a Dark Rock Pro 4 coming soon and i will update you guys than if anything changes

UBM is just a tool it provides some info it is not the only tool.
For some folks the mention of the tool brings out a rant.
