So any of you having subpar performance in warzone with a 3080fe? My cpu utilisation is off the roof at almost 60-70%. And one more thing I noticed is my stock 3080 fe hovers between 1830-1890. Is this the case for everyone else too? I’m on the latest driver. I checked YouTube for a similar config as line(5600x and 3080) and they seem to hold higher clocks such at 1950-1965 at 70degrees+!!! Here is the link for the video:

My gpu never crosses 65 degrees(custom fan curve) but I’ve never seen it hit such clocks? Is this what they call “silicon lottery”? Better boost at stock? And also in my timespy run, in the results page, I noticed that my clock frequency reads 1935 whilst others read around 1980-1950. Again does this simply mean my chip is poorly/averagely binned? I understand that it makes no difference in games and couldn’t care less, but I’m just asking to educate myself on these terms. I hit a +100 on core and +200 on memory and it hovered around 2010-1980mhz. Here are my timespy scores[steam free demo(demo runs for 3mins before graphics test 1 starts, not able to skip demo)] for reference:
All stock(with fan curve) with only XMP enabled:

All stock(with fan curve) with power limited raised to the maximum in msi afterburner and XMP enabled:
https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/58715138
Without fan curve the gpu score is around 17,170 and I really prefer running the curve as my ambient is very high at 32c. With curve I don’t cross 65 which is optimal.
My gpu perfcap reason reads pwr under load. I’m trying to understand what’s limiting my cards potential as temps are absolutely not the problem. I’m not complaining about my scores as 200-300points is like 1fps ingame.
Also I’m looking into undervolting as well. Already saw many tutorials, but I’m confused as to why people get much better timespy scores after undervolting, but 1-5% loss in fps in games? Why is it scaling like this? Any input is appreciated and thanks in advance!
