4080 super running like crap

What scores do you get in 3D Mark, Cinebench, etc? Do they match what you'd expect?

What was the previous graphics card?

What are the temps, clocks and power usage under load?

Have you tried switching to the studio driver?

Have you checked event viewer?

Have you made adjustments to the refresh, variable refresh / sync, etc?

Has the game you're playing been reconfigured and had opportunity to rebuild shaders, etc, if necessary?
 
If GPU usage is low and CPU is high and you're getting swinging FPS and stuttering then probably. It entirely depends on what you're doing. If it's easy work, like 1080p gaming, the CPU can't 'feed' the GPU with instructions fast enough cos it's apprentice level work for the GPU.

What was your previous card? I don't know if I'd personally even bother with DDU now if going from nvidia to nvidia.

I would be surprised if a 10900K was makng such a noticeable slow down unless you're gaming at 1080p medium settings and not giving the GPU a chance to really stretch its legs.

Hi it was a 3090. What is studio driver?

Gpu temps are low around 65c. Cpu goes to about 75c

I've done all the right adjustments to shaders.

It actually worked better before I did the ddu. But was still slower than the 3090.
 
It maybe the drivers, are you running windows 11? as there has been a lot of issues with the Nvidia drivers recently
 
There should be no need to use DDU going from a 3090 to 4080. I've recently gone from 3090 to 4090 and didn't change drivers and everything still works great.

I'd also check to see if you're using/reinstall the latest chipset drivers from your motherboard manufacturer. Failing that then I fear a new OS install might be your only remedy.

Which brand of 4080 Super do you have?

The Studio drivers tend to be more stable but are mainly aimed at content creators not gamers.

Oof. I've resisted the urge to update to 11 for years, but was going to start off with it on my new rig this weekend. Is it really bad or just the odd hiccup?
 
Bios update. and as with ALL RTX card you need to set an offset. My GPU would hit 88c easy in light games.
with an offset it now games in the high 60's

I originally did it with thr same drivers and it was still under what my 3090 was getting. I think I will try a motherboard update.
 
Once upon a time i had my graphics card out for cleaning and it was stuttering afterwards took me a few days to realise the card was only running 4x lanes cause i had failed to fully insert it in to the 16x slot :cry: might also be worth checking the power cables.
 
There is no doubt that the 10900 can be improved on, but I would be surprised if it is causing the problem.
What resolution and refresh rate are you running at?
