[SOLVED] RTX 3080 underperforming in most games. (Low GPU usage)

[Kowita]

Hi.

I've been looking around for a solution since I bought the card 3 days ago, and its driving me crazy!!

I have a problem with my MSI GeForce RTX 3080 GAMING X TRIO

My setup is:

MSI GeForce RTX 3080 GAMING X TRIO.
X570-F Gaming.
16GB G.Skillz 3200mhz XMP, two sticks, A2-B2 slot.
850W PSU.
Ryzen 5 3600 with a Noctua NH-U12S mounted, which has two fans mounted as well.
Fractal Design Focus G case with two intake fans infront, 2 outtake fans on top
Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD M.2 2280 - 1TB for my games

CPU is not overclocked.

In most games like GTA V, Cyberpunk and Rust the games performance is very bad compared to what I thought.

GPU usage is approx. 50% in all games, and CPU is about 50% too.

GTA V with max settings on 1440p I get roughly 60fps, dips to 45fps. Changing settings don't really do a difference. I play without V Sync and Frame Scaling.

Cyberpunk is also about 45fps in the city and about 70fps outside town.

Rust roams about 60-70fps most places.

Runs pretty well with my Valve Index, in Half Life: Alyx. Only got mild lag spikes a few times throughout two hours of VR adventure.

My RX 5700XT ran games better than this RTX 3080. What is up with that?

I've tried removing driver with DDU in safe mode, and installing it again.
I've changed PSU cables so the GPU has 3 separate cables.

I made a test with Userbenchmark
Asus ROG STRIX X570-F GAMING Performance Results - UserBenchmark

Can this be a Driver issue?
I have version 460.89 atm.

Just try to uninstall the drivers with DDU,
Display Driver Uninstaller.
REMEMBER: TO UNINSTALL WITH DDU, ENTER SECURITY MODE.

Check the energy at Start - Energy or Power & Sleep Settings, check with you're at high end performance or something like that.https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html
