So I have had my 3080 for almost 2 weeks now and I have mostly played Watch dogs Legion on it.
My PC prior to installing the 3080 had a 1080 and things where rock solid.
Having switched to the 3080 tho I am definitely having issues.
My PSU is a Corsair RM 850x (850w) which I bough last March in preparation for the upgrade.
It's cabled in correctly as well using two separate rails to the PSU.
Almost every game session I crash or freeze and sometimes blue screen.
Last two weeks I have been playing Watch Dogs Legion and that has been the game I have experienced the most issues with. CTD and even blue screens.
I do have my ram overclocked using a profile from the dram calc. I've used this profile for a good year with absolutely no problems.
I played about half of Watch Dogs Legion and got fed up of the blue screens so blaming the game uninstalled it.
I installed Metro Exodus to play the DLC and about 4hrs in the screen froze. The pc was still on, no crash to desktop just a freeze.
This is better than the blue screens I was getting with Watch Dogs Legion.
It COULD be my ram as it's the only thing overclocked in the system.
I do have PBO turned on though using motherboard limits, scalar 2x and boost 500Mhz.
As a first step to fix my problems I have manually set the SOC voltage to 1.1v and VDDG to 1.1v as this is something that is mentioned in the Ryzen Master documentation.
I remember a few years back on my x370 I had to set the VDDG to get 3600MHz to work. But switching to an x570 board I've gamed on my ram profile without needing to fiddle with much other than just set the dram voltage for a good year now.
Cooling of my system should be good. I have a P400a which has great airflow plus right now it's freezing up in my room in the loft so the ambient temps are helping with temps.
So... either the 3080 has changed something in my system causing the ram to be unstable or I have a dodgy 3080. Or even the drivers are at fault.
