Hey all,
My EVGA 3080 FTW performance has tanked the past few days (after working normally for a year) and the issue appears to be due to low board power draw in the primary build. I have a primary build and a spare build that I've been testing to determine what's causing it.
-Primary build: Intel i7-12700, EVGA 3080 FTW3, ASUS H670 mobo, Super flower Leadex III 850W PSU
-Spare build: Ryzen 2600, EVGA 1660Ti XC, ASROCK B450 mobo, Rosewill photon 650W PSU
I've been benchmarking the 1660Ti in Heaven 4.0 and monitoring via GPU-Z in both builds since it's easier to move around than the 3080.
Here are the results so far.
-I don't believe it's a GPU issue since the 1660Ti underperforms in the primary build, albeit still better than the 3080, but exhibits the same power draw issues compared to the spare build where it easily exceeds boost clock and draws over the rated TDP of 120W. Temperatures are normal. CPU is not bottlenecking.
-It's not a PSU issue since I tested a spare Seasonic Gold+ 650W on the primary build and achieved the same results
-I updated to the latest GPU drivers, Windows 10 is up to date, I've changed the power settings to high performance, and forced PCIe to 3.0 in the BIOS
Therefore, I think this points towards a motherboard or software issue and I'd like to avoid reinstalling windows unless I can pin it on a software issue. I was thinking of taking the spare build SSD (Win10 installed), putting it in my primary build, then booting from there and running another Heaven 4.0 benchmark. Any other ideas to help diagnose? Would really appreciate any thoughts, thanks!
