Hi

My Current Build is:
Ryzen 7 5700x
RTX 3080 Zotac Trinity with undervolt
165hz monitor
32gb RAM DDR4

Over the last week, I've been playing Marvel Spiderman with no issues but today while playing I noticed My FPS dropped and got an average of 70-85 (i usually play between 100 -120 ultra setting with Ray Tracking) I decided to check with Afterburner what was going on. I noticed My GPU was running an investable usage between 50%-70% and a Maximum Temp of 60°C, I think the issue comes with the GPU Temp as on the previous days it was running at 99% usage with a Maximum of 80°C, but now no matter what I play it doesn't get over 60°C,
I already check the NVIdia and Windows power control for consumption but everything is set for the Best performance
I also check the MSI afterburner powerlimit and returned the setting to default with no undervolt and the issue persist, it seems it only happens while gaming or doing something that is not a benchmark, because when I ran the Furmark it ran at a maximum of 98% with 70°C, Highest tempt of 75°C

Do you have any ideas on what is causing the thermal limit and how to fix it?

Open GPUz and see limit reason. It might not be thermals.

Benchmark Scores They're pretty good, nothing crazy.
also run HWinfo and also look at the memory temperatures.

These cards will throttle with ram temps (and the ram runs super hot)
