the game shut my whole PC down

[toughnerdtoys]

I am running a 3080 windows 10 pro with 64 ram and im not in the red and the game shut my whole computer down while playing any suggestions and yes ive turned off my virus protection etc, ray tracing and more.

Yeah but it gets the job done for my needs hell I could probably even undervolt and still get by I game at 4k 60fps usually max settings and RTX if it isn't bugged out.

True, true

Your video card is producing micro spike in power beyond what your PSU can handle. Stop being cheap with your PSU and buy a quality higher wattage PSU ~1200-1500 watt unit.

This is the problem you are experiencing..

The Nvidia 40 series does a better job at reducing the problem compared to the 20 and 30 series cards.



If you use msi after burner you can lock the voltage of the 4090 and the power spikes are much lower. My old corsair AX1500i has no issues with my 4090.



This video

is better thanmost other videos. the voltage locking and power limiting can also be done in the Nvidia 9, 10, 20 ,30, and earlier series cards. The video below shows afterburner and nvidia's GFE options.

AMD’s Vega 56/64 graphics card has a very high transient power consumption. The oscilloscope screenshot below shows the transient current when using the two Vega 56 CrossFire for FurMark test, up to 102A / 10ms, which means the power supply must withstand 1200W peak wattage. Even a single Vega 56 graphics card may have nearly 600W of transient power consumption.

in the section about the 2080 TI

I deliberately chose the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti to start with a slightly higher average power consumption. Why, we’ll see right away. Who remembers by the way – I had already written in the basic article “Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Ti – Internal details to the power supply, deviating components and where the spikes remained” about the changes at Nvidia’s Turing.

Measurements under maximum gaming load

Here, too, the 400 Watt limit is reached, but only in the microsecond range. With increased average power consumption you can see that there are spikes up to 400 watts, but the control is much more filigree. The approx. 375 watts over a millisecond are the maximum here and you can also see that Turing regulates more frequently than Pascal, but with a much finer gradation.

The flowing currents always remain below 33 amps, so that no power supply unit would have to give up prematurely here either. One could even speculate that Turing behaves much less problematic than Pascal as long as the secondary side of the power supply is equipped with appropriate low impedance capacitors. Low ESR alone is not enough.

Measurements during the stress test
The stress test causes a very interesting picture at Turing. The length of the real load intervals is halved! Even if you reach 330 watts for a single millisecond, the average for a 4.5 ms window is 300 watts. Then the card adjusts completely for about 0.25 ms.

Also with the currents it becomes clearly more relaxed and one reaches in the maximum only once 28 ampere. This is now once again well below what the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti just delivered and at the same altitude as a RX Vega achieved for a short time.

Interim conclusion
The new Nvidia specifications for the voltage regulators and the current Boost expansion stage demonstrate very impressively how to make it quite easy for the power supplies. And yet this card is hardly more restrained than a Radeon RX Vega64. So if you had to find a culprit, then it would be either all three test persons together, or none at all. The difference lies certainly in the many details, but I didn’t find any sensation-compatible outliers, neither in red nor in green.

Yeah basically pointless cause current gen cpu's boost clocks are basically as high as you are gonna get anyways, any higher cost too much power and heat not really worth it.

but you have to factor in that the new cpus can boost around 300 watts.

[Peerless Girl]

but yeah, it's not that you have a "bad" PSU, or an inappropriate one. It's probably not handling your 3080's transient spikes. Try turning the 3080 down to about 70-90% of it's power (downclocking it). And see if it goes away. You can also try a test JohnnyGURU uses to test for transient spikes. Run prime95 at the same time you run FurMark, and click space rapidly to turn the "fuzzy donut" on and off very quickly. If you do this for a few minutes and your PC shuts down or reboots, it's definitely the transient spikes, and thus, a PSU issue (it's also arguably a GPU issue, but good luck convincing NVIDIA of that). I got my 3080ti spiked up to 900W total system draw doing that test (and that's only what my UPS's wattage measurement can detect).

When you play the game And suddently your monitor turns off and the Pc reboots.

Then your PSU (Power Supply Unit) is having a malfunction/failing that will get worse and worse.

This has happen to me when i played Warframe and this only happen when i was playing Warframe.

I did contact my custom Pc builder provider and for them it sounded like a faulty PSU. So they sended me a new one and i installed the new one and the issue was gona.

RMAing your PSU that can't handle you upgraded GPU in not a reason for RMA. OP Hasn't even listed his current PSU.

Well they haven't said anything at all hopefully their issue has been resolved

What are you talking about? Im just talking from my experience and removing the PSU i had with a new one, solved my issue.
OP has not given much info in general on what is happening in detail.

Im running this game perfectly fine with no issues and my specs are

RTX 3080
Win 10 Pro
32 GB DDR4 RAM
750W
I9-10900K

You don't understand about power transients (aka power spikes caused by the gpu)
Watch the GN video I posted to clue yourself in and read this:
https://www.igorslab.de/en/the-battle-of-graphics-card-against-power-supply-power-consumption-and-peak-loads-demystified/

For now, but you are just like the guy from atomic heart who had the same problem as OP.

This is your future in you drop a 11 series intel chip

The video I posted does [that is the GN video i posted above]. The video even references the problem existing in the Nvidia 10 series.

The only differnce between you and the the AH guy is he has a 2080TI paired with an 11700k where you have a 3080 with a ten series cpu.

[Fatherman]

It does the same thing on mine. I am running a 3060 with an 850w power supply as well. I have doubts it’s a power supply issue since I’m only running it on lower settings using 3.6 gigs of vram. This should not be an issue and seems like an issue with the game. I run other games at MUCH higher settings without issues.

[toughnerdtoys]

Thank you everyone all of your suggestions worked. The 3080 demanded more power from the psu I looked up a few issues and the 3080 is not compatible with my graphics card...so I ran out and grabbed a stronger psu and now issues sine. Again thank you everyone.

My PC exploded when i booted up the ganme.
