Dear pixel dark,
I understand that you're experiencing suboptimal performance with your high-end gaming setup.
Let's go through some troubleshooting steps to optimize the usage of your hardware and improve your gaming experience.
Update Drivers:
Go to the NVIDIA GeForce Drivers page.
Download and install the latest drivers for your 4080 Super.
Ensure your motherboard BIOS, chipset, and other drivers are up-to-date. Visit the manufacturer's website for the latest versions.
Check Game Settings:
Ensure game-specific settings are optimized for performance.
Turn off V-Sync, which can cap frame rates.
Adjust graphical settings to balance load on both CPU and GPU.
Download and install any recommended game patches or updates.
Monitor System Performance:
Utilize tool like MSI Afterburner to track GPU, CPU, and Memory usage during gameplay.
This helps identify any bottlenecks or unusual behavior.
Disable Full-Screen Optimizations:
Go to the game installation directory.
Right-click on the game executable (.exe file), select Properties.
Under the Compatibility tab, check Disable full-screen optimizations.
Click Apply and OK.
Ensure Proper Cooling:
Check System Temperature:
Ensure your GPU and CPU temperatures are within normal ranges to prevent throttling.
Clean dust from components and ensure good airflow.
Adjust PCIE Settings:
Restart your PC and enter BIOS (usually by pressing Del or F2 during startup).
Ensure the PCIe slot is set to GEN3 or GEN4 if supported.
If the problem persists, it may be beneficial to consult with the game's support team or an expert technician to perform a more in-depth diagnostic.
