So I've been trying to be careful here cuz I definitely don't want to do anything problematic to a GIGABYTE product after all, but I've been struggling for days to optimize my system for games and I am getting bitches here or there with the tdp dropping low 100s correlating with stutters and 10-20 fps drops in my games (however I'm fully aware it very well could be the games themselves) the main source is that it does happen in more demanding games cyberpunk, BG3, RDR etc etc
I play at 1440p and yeah have absolutely used the DDU utility (fixed a lot that one) removed propriety software and bloat and minimize my sensor usage, all the basic stuff to lessen memory load and whatever could cause it.
Best I can tell my 4080 is just NOT using it's power effectively rarely goes above 220tdp and I feel like I'm losing my mind cuz when I use timespy it fully draws the card to 320 watts and runs brilliantly, hence why i think it might be software (aka the games) but there's nothing I can easily find detailing a solution to my worries.
I run a Gigabyte b650 aorus elite with a Ryzen 9 7900x 2x16gb gskillz neo ddr5 6000mhz (expo on, tested and no correlation) and a gigabyte aero 4080oc at 1440p
I'd love to just feel like I'm being a stickler and just need to accept some games will just be annoying but figured if there is anywhere to ask it's here yeah?
