Hi guys. I hope someone could help me with my issue here. This may exist a niggling long merely I need to particular out everything.

At the time of this writing, there's a very noticeable fps drop on my games. I mostly play Monster Hunter World and Horizon Goose egg Dawn and my FPS usually runs for 110-150 at ultra settings (1440p). I also noticed that the power draw went down to 270-280w in Afterburner (previously at 320w)

Hither's what I've been looking at as the possible reasons to what happened in my GPU

This by 3 weeks, I've been using my rig to mine ETH for 12 hours everyday (I mine while working from home. Besides I piece of work on my laptop so my gaming rig is not doing annihilation except mining). Core clock was reduced to -400mhz, power limit to 72%, memory clock +1000mhz
My rig is custom watercooled in an ambient temp of 25-26 degrees celsius. I think its worth mentioning that I played a few hours last week when I'thousand not in the mood to mine and everything is same as earlier.

2nd possible reason is possibly the nvidia driver update? I updated my driver final Tuesday to the latest one (version 466.eleven) only I did not play any games until now. That's when I noticed the significant drop in my fps and power describe. I checked my Nvidia settings and it is set to Prefer Max Performance

What do you guys retrieve? Is it the driver update or I'yard now experiencing the drawbacks of gpu mining?

Below is my specs btw

i7 10700k
Zotac RTX 3080
16gb T-Strength Delta 3200mhz
Lexxar 1TB nvme ssd
Corsair RM1000x PSU
Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL

Thank you in advance!

To shut this thread, I would like to inform that I was able to resolve this issue already. Seemed like my gpu'southward vrm was overheating. I removed my waterblock and there'southward some oily residuum on the vrms from the thermal pads. I changed information technology and everything'due south fine at present. I can now play for hours without the power describe going down below 99%. Appreciate all the inputs you lot provided. I hope this helps to others that will encounter this issue in the time to come.

Hi guys. I hope someone could help me with my issue here. This may be a little long but I need to detail out everything.

At the fourth dimension of this writing, in that location's a very noticeable fps drop on my games. I generally play Monster Hunter World and Horizon Naught Dawn and my FPS normally runs for 110-150 at ultra settings (1440p). I also noticed that the power draw went down to 270-280w in Afterburner (previously at 320w)

Here's what I've been looking at every bit the possible reasons to what happened in my GPU

This past 3 weeks, I've been using my rig to mine ETH for 12 hours everyday (I mine while working from home. Also I piece of work on my laptop so my gaming rig is not doing anything except mining). Cadre clock was reduced to -400mhz, ability limit to 72%, memory clock +1000mhz
My rig is custom watercooled in an ambient temp of 25-26 degrees celsius. I call up its worth mentioning that I played a few hours concluding calendar week when I'k not in the mood to mine and everything is aforementioned equally before.

Second possible reason is maybe the nvidia driver update? I updated my commuter final Tuesday to the latest 1 (version 466.11) but I did non play any games until at present. That's when I noticed the significant drib in my fps and power draw. I checked my Nvidia settings and it is prepare to Prefer Max Operation

What do you guys think? Is it the commuter update or I'm now experiencing the drawbacks of gpu mining?

Below is my specs btw

i7 10700k
Zotac RTX 3080
16gb T-Force Delta 3200mhz
Lexxar 1TB nvme ssd
Corsair RM1000x PSU

Thanks in advance!

I'thousand willing to bet it'south the update. Due to nvidia trying instill strick no mining claws kinda "Not REALLY" To prevent people from mining on the cards. It's propably detecting the mining softwate on the pc and throttling the gpu. It may non be that it could simply be a faulty update that sunk the preformance of the cards that will propbably be resolved in the next update. But on of the things nvidia is trying to do is lock the max usage of GAMING cards installed on minning systems to forbid people from ownership them all to mine on

Take you been keeping an centre on VRAM temps? What are they now when gaming?

Thanks for the insight! That's probable. I'll try to uninstall my mining software and check if my fps goes back to normal. Appreciated!

Have you been keeping an centre on VRAM temps? What are they now when gaming?

Unfortunately there'southward no way for me to cheque. Fifty-fifty HWinfo has no temp monitoring for the VRAM. But co-ordinate to other forums I read with the aforementioned card as mine, they tested and measured vram temps and it reached 95degrees. I'm assuminh that mine would be better than that since I have a watercooling setup and i take my gpu in a vertical mountain. The 3 fans at the bottom of my instance direct accident air to the backplate which could assist to lower the vram temp itself.

Unfortunately at that place's no style for me to check. Fifty-fifty HWinfo has no temp monitoring for the VRAM. Just according to other forums I read with the same carte du jour every bit mine, they tested and measured vram temps and information technology reached 95degrees. I'g assuminh that mine would be better than that since I have a watercooling setup and i take my gpu in a vertical mount. The 3 fans at the bottom of my case direct blow air to the backplate which could help to lower the vram temp itself.

That and you underclockes the ram yous said didn't you? So the vram should be fine In theory due to you lot did as you should as yous overclock cadre MHz, aye I yet concur could potentially yet exist the issue.... Not likely though I would withal presume something else at fault at this point don't requite upward but however... You are mining on a personal gaming rig which by and large requires you to disable your firewalls... Accept check to run across if someone isn't hacking your system waiting for the correct moment to steal your coins

I'd try resolving why you lot cannot see the VRAM temperature. My 3080 I had to cripple it mining to go on it at a safe 90c or beneath, 95c is the max GDDR6X is rated for and I would not want to keep information technology their long. As for airflow over the back of the card I tried rigging fans a few dissimilar ways and it made no real departure. I take read of people adding boosted heat sinks to the back of the card to assistance. My thought hither is if excessive heat from mining has prematurely aged the thermal pads on the VRAM causing them to overheat fifty-fifty while gaming. If you lot oasis't kept an eye on vram temperature I recall there a possibility of this regardless of the gpu being water cooled. Simply a theory.

Thats a off-white point

if it was the update andthey were throttling the GPU, wouldn't you be able to run into that on HWiNFo etc?

You should uninstall the new drivers and reinstall the previous and run across what happens, not uninstall the mining program

No because the throttling is washed at commuter level (driver reports to monitoring soft), firmware if they've decided to sneak in an update with the drivers.

Noted. Will bank check if everything goes dorsum once I downgrade the driver

That's odd. I did not disable my AV and my firewall is up and running. I'chiliad even so getting 95-96mh/southward without problem. Or maybe I missed something?

Run a few anti virus programs. Hopfully they tin can catch something for you lot. This is generally the most common problem with people minning. Subconscious malware.

So here'south an update:

I used DDU to downgrade my nvidia commuter to v465. Nil changed. Ability describe is still effectually 270-280w and FPS is even so in 75-85fps. What's odd though is when I ran 3DMark Time Spy stress test, my gpu's power draw went up to 320w which is the TDP for an RTX 3080 and my FPS hovered effectually 120-130fps. The test ran for ane hr and no driblet in ability draw and fps whatsoever. Merely when I play a game, power draw and fps goes down. I call up I'm missing something here only I tin can't figure it out.

So here's an update:

I used DDU to downgrade my nvidia driver to v465. Nothing changed. Power draw is still around 270-280w and FPS is still in 75-85fps. What'due south odd though is when I ran 3DMark Time Spy stress test, my gpu's power draw went upwards to 320w which is the TDP for an RTX 3080 and my FPS hovered around 120-130fps. The test ran for 1 hour and no driblet in power draw and fps whatsoever. But when I play a game, power draw and fps goes down. I think I'thou missing something here but I tin't figure it out.

Ok that is foreign and points to the problem beingness something else. Fourth dimension Spy gpu test doesn't stress the other components that much similar a game would.

Tin you effort running userbenchmark and sharing the public link to the results. Non sure if it will show us what is possibly underperforming but is worth a try.

I'll be happy to exercise then. I'll mail the link as soon equally possible.

CPU is OC'd @4.9ghz
GPU runs on stock when gaming. I just let the gpu boost do its job

Okay so something is off onthe oc , look at user bench marker information technology'southward toping at iv.8 non four.nine trying backing your oc down to 4.6 for a moment see if this makes any deviation in functioning. I'thousand wondering if it'southward non the GPU taking the abuse but the CPU

Did your proffer and nothing changed. CPU utilization remains at around 35-fifty% regardless of the OC. I also flashed the GPU vBIOS and enabled Resizable BAR. I can't effigy out why 3DMark can push my card to 100% power limit, but playing an actual game caps me at 80% simply. I'thousand starting to think at present that there might be something wrong with my card's power delivery caused by mining?
