3900x + RTX 3080 Question

[Lokius]

Hello... when i benchmark this game i seem to get 103 on ultimate settings at 1440p.
For what i can tell online most 3080 users seem to get closer to 120 with a 3080 even with a ryzen 3000 cpu.

I did notice i don't always get full utilization but i am not really sure what to do... i tried DDU ing the drivers... and even formatting my entire pc (which did see a boost from 99 to 103)
Anyone else having performance issues with this game on a 3080 that managed to fix it?

Can't speak on a 3080 but I have a 3070 and run in 1440p on an 10th gen i7. Getting average 70-90 FPS on max ultra in 1440p, so your FPS sounds about right..

Ryzen 3000 performance is heavily dependent on your memory's performance, that means, frequency and timings.

You should try to run it at least 3600 MHz with tweaked subtimings. Also if you're on 16 GB of RAM, that's not enough.

I am on 32gb of 3600 cl16 that is tweaked down to cl14.

Oddly i managed to fix the issue by removing the card... putting in back my 1080 Ti and booting with that.
Then taking that out and putting in back the 3080 and now i get 125 fps on ultimate settings 1440p ..... Port Royal also went from 10800 to 12100.

No idea what the actual issue was but it seems fixed.

sounds to me like theres a possibility that your PCIe slot was reverting down to 2.0, and when you switched cards and switched em back somehow that reset it..

That could account for the performance difference you're seeing.

This is just a theory of course, but it deifniely tracks.

That actually does seem like a valid answer.
Not sure if X570 motherboards have a pci2 function nor why going from a 1080 Ti to a 3080 the first time around would do that :)

I spend literally days trying to troubleshoot this... even going to formatting the entire pc ... i was actually just about to send the card back because i thought it was broken... until i tried this.

Either way 125 was actually more fps than i thought i would get... so i am pretty stoked... can actually just enjoy the game now :)
