I have a very odd problem that I cannot figure out. Bought a new PSU and EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 ultra graphics card. All other components previously worked in my previous build with a GTX 1080 without issue.
Started with an 850 watt PSU. Had frames drop down to like 2FPS and would never come back. Would have to shut down to get a game to play again. RMA'D the psu and got the same model 850 watt. Had the same issue and then the PSU started tripping. Only resetting the power switch on the PSU would allow it to work again. When this happens the RAM led's stayed illuminated.
Ordered a different brand PSU that is 1,000 watts. Installed and played a few hours and the PSU tripped. Decided to undervolt the 3080 and the issue seems to have gone away. Undervolt is set to around 850mv at 1830mhz
My question is why won't this card work when set to stock settings? Is it possible that the GPU draws that much power to trip a 1,000 watt PSU? Prior to installing the card I ran ddu so that no drivers from the 1080 were left. I feel like I am leaving performance on the table and not getting what I paid for by undervolting.
System Specs:
MB - msi x570 unify
CPU - Ryzen 7 3700x
Ram - 32gb Corsair vengeance RGB pro
GPU - EVGA Rtx 3080 FTW3 Ultra
PSU - Seasonic gx 1000
Case - O11 Dynamics
Cooling - Bitspower distribution plate with pump and 360 radiator. 9 fans total. 3 on radiator, 3 on the back side and 3 on the bottom
Drives - 1tb M.2 Ssd, 1 - 2TB 2.5" Hdd 1 - external 3tb backup drive
Windows 11
All GPU drivers are updated and am running 3 separate pcie cables from the PSU. Temps for GPU max out around 65C (when not undervolted) CPU temps hang around 50-55C
Thanks in advance
