i’ve got a 5600x and a 3080 and i was struggling getting 100fps on minecraft stably and fortnite 165fps with epic settings and some other games as well just wanted to know if i have done anything weird/ a setting that’s off. I’ve got a display port cable plugged into the gpu not the mobo so don’t worry about that
Start by doing some benchmarks, 3Dmark Timespy (There’s the demo on steam with the benchmark) is good and you can compare your results with others
how does cinebench work i’ve got that and HWinfo downloaded incase it was a thermal throttling issue but don’t know how to use either really
What resolution are you playing on ?
A 6 core CPU is kinda weak for the 3080, and can result in inconsistent frame times.
I dont actually know if thats your issue, but I would look into your CPU/GPU utilization. Ideally you want close to 100% on GPU and much less than 100% on CPU.
