Performance worse after significant GPU upgrade - 4080 super

One thing that I discovered, moving from the 30 series to the 40 series, was, did you use DDU and then reinstall the drivers?
I was getting problems until someone suggested doing that, and it worked.
DDU makes sure that the old driver is fully removed before you install new. It solves many issues!

Unless you use the speakers in the monitors, I would remove the NVIDIA audio driver. Again, I had to do that with my monitors.

Looking at the original post OP had done a clean install of Windows drivers should have been fine

I see your using multiple monitors, have you tried with just 1 monitor connected?

Yep, we used DDU initially as we couldn't even get the system to boot (ended up the bios needed updating) so put the old card back in, ran DDU and tried again. When we eventually got the system to boot and stuck a game on to see how it was running the sound was the 1st thing I noticed tbh. We had nothing else plugged in so just mouse, keyboard and the monitor.

It was after using the system for a few hours I then decided to go with a fresh install of windows completely however I am still having the same issues. The PSU is on pre-order but hopefully once thats installed it helps, at the very least I can rule that out.

Yeah, only the one monitor connected on the initial startup and problems started straight away and have persisted unfortunately.

Have you tried the card in the other PCIE slot at all?

Do you have the fps capped in games to just below your monitor refresh rate?

I have not tried that but will give it a go when I get home. The refresh rate for my monitor is 240Hz so cannot see the FPS getting close to that :D

its a fresh install of windows

@MrKeeno have you monitored temps in games. i have to set an offset with my gpu as it was in the 80's in game

Whats the best way to monitor temps? This is where my lack of knowledge is going to be apparent... I had been keeping an eye on task manager as thats displaying the GPU temps but i'll have to go back and take notes.

I'm at a loss. I am really not sure this is a hardware problem though. It sounds so much more like software. Especially the occasional glitch.

As soon as I got it all up and running I tried Cyberpunk, The Finals and BF2042. All had that split second delay which I never had with the old card. I downloaded Heaven benchmark and it did exactly the same thing. Very frustrating as I went way over what I would normally be willing to spend on a single item upgrade.

I find a good way is Afterburner. Since you have multiple monitors you can throw a graph up on one monitor while you are playing games on a second. You can live monitor everything, including glitches in the FPS, and whether those correspond to various other activity like the PCIe bus. You can also monitor the CPU and see if the glitches are anything to do with the CPU.

Thanks, I'll give that a go this evening.

All cables seated fully, GPU power and monitor?

How is the GPU mounted, normal or vertical using the riser kit?

GPU is mounted vertically, it wont fit in the case otherwise. All cables seem to be seated correctly but i'll pull everything out later and start again.

i like MSI afterburner, just open it and game for an hour.
it will show you gpu usage, clock's and temp
 
Just a quick message to say I really appreciate all the help guys, hopefully i'll get this sorted one way or the other.

Wait, what? It's vertical?? Ah! That might be your problem. The risers can be borderline. I would try it without the riser. Just leave the side of the case off for now.
