Recently upgraded from an rx 590 to an rtx 3080 and my performance is lacking in lots of games. My other specs are Ryzen 7 2700, 32 GB ddr4 3600, 850W. Obviously the cpu is going to bottleneck the gpu here but my performance with the same settings seems to have gone down since getting the new gpu. I uninstalled my old gpu drivers with DDU and installed new nvidia ones.

My main issue is that both CS2 and minecraft seem to actually run worse with the exact same settings compared to the rx 590. I tried benchmarking the 3080 with 3d mark and although slightly worse than other 3080s it still did about the same (much more than the 590). Don’t get me wrong I wasn’t expecting to get the full performance out of the card but I expected more than this.

Am I perhaps missing something important that I should’ve changed when switching cards?
