I don't want to know why you're feeling a pulse in your hands. Nor would I want photos.
We are all friends here. Sharing is caring.
The beta driver is needed for some games to use FSR 4. I noted HZD reverts to FSR3 with the older drivers.

Amazing looking game. Definitely go to 1440p as soon as as possible though (preferably OLED). The uplift is substantial.

I am stuck on 4K myself due to using it on my 65” S95C, and I don’t really see the point of spending loads on a lower res 1440p OLED monitor. I just use a standard IPS for competitive and my TV for everything else.
That said, I was quite content at 1440p. The uplift from 1440p to 4K is definitely very noticeable, but not as much as 1080p to 1440p. That’s a massive difference.

What benchmarks is everyone using? I'm going to fit the pulse tonight/tomorrow so wanting to make sure it's all well and good. Been a few years since I've been on AMD so I'll need to familiarise myself with adrenaline again.
Already started removing afterburner and Nvidia software.

You are using PCIe 3.0? This definitely could be the issue if your NVMe is using half the GPU PCIe slot lanes. Some NVMe slots halve the GPU PCIe bandwidth. PCIe 3.0 x 8 is the equivalent of PCIe 5.0 x 2!

Just checked mine in GPU-z (after manually setting gen 5 in bios)
PCI-e x16 5.0 @ 16 5.0
PCI-e x16 5.0 @ 16 5.0
Yup, same as me.
Steel Nomad and Port Royal seem a good gauge of Raster and RT respectively.
3d mark..timespy, steel nomad...i got on steam for £7 otherwise, but think cd keys was cheaper
FYI- if tunin- changing clocks etc, running Adrenaline and Afterburner at the same time can cause conflict(one overides the other).
Timespy and Steel Nomad. Steel Nomad is excellent for testing undervolt stability. Maybe a quick run in Superposition to confirm, but Steel Nomad tends to be very reliable.

Great, thanks everyone, I shall get them downloaded just shortly.
I hadn't done any UV or similar with my 3080 in a while. It's all uninstalled is what I was meaning.
Running an M.2 through the chipset nvme slot will run about half the speed of the primary M.2 slot.
I have an MSI X470 Carbon where I have a 980 in the primary M.2 slot and a 980 Pro in the chipset M.2 slot.. the 980 Pro is running at speeds of around 1600/1600 read/write but when I had that the 980 Pro in the primary slot it was 3500/3500 read/write.
Anyway, the PCIe slot your GPU is using should still be running at PCI x3.0 @ x16.. its when you use an adapter for an M.2 in the a second PCIe slot which lowers the GPU speed to x8 from the primary PCIe.
Done a lot of testing on my own board so Im kinda familiar with this
Also, x8 speeds on the GPU really dont make any difference and if you're running games from the second M.2, well those speeds dont make much difference either, its only loading times that are affected afaik.
Hope this helps, if not, upgrade your platform
Edit, forgot to add, if using normal SSD drives with nvme's remember which Sata ports they're using because of > 'SATA5 and SATA6 ports will be unavailable when installing a M.2 device in M2_1 slot'.
I have these problems with my X470, I might upgrade myself one day

386 PC's never had this bus speed limit, or when IDE are used.

Find the no fan profile is a bit too lax, memory and hotspot was getting pretty hot despite the fan being off, so I re-enabled the fan.
Think the fan should go off memory/hotspot as well, since the GPU is the coolest out of the lot.

I believe some B450 Mobos halve their GPU PCIe slot speed when using the second M2 NVMe slot.Running an M.2 through the chipset nvme slot will run about half the speed of the primary M.2 slot.

So it'll be running PCIe 3.0 x 8. This could have an impact on this GPU as you've lost 87% of the PCIe 5.0 x 16 bandwidth.
Seen as they lost performance after installing their NVMe, I'd hazard a guess PCIe 3.0 x 8 isn't sufficient bandwidth and is limiting the card.
Asus state this in their B450 Strix-I manual for their PCIe speeds. Note the only x16 on this board is the GPU, the others are x4.
"AMD B450 Chipset- 4 x SATA 6Gb/s ports* The M.2_2 slot shares bandwidth with PCIE x16. When M.2_2 slot runs in PCIE mode, the PCIE x16 slot will run at x8 mode.
** The M.2_2 slot is not supported for these CPUs."
