Have a new build that was performing great for the first few days. Not sure what changed, but I'm getting like 60-70 FPS in games like Overwatch, Far Cry New Dawn, Forza Horizon 4. Previously I was hitting (or at least approaching) my monitor's max - 170hz.
 
Temps are a little high (but I gather that's expected with this card) - it runs at about 75 and usually maxes at 80. Load during game is 99% and GPU-Z says the PerfCap Reason is Pwr.
 
I've never messed with OCing anything before this build and haven't on this one either, mostly because I would have thought a 3080 could handle the games I listed above easily (especially something like Overwatch). 
 
Did a full uninstall and reinstall of Nvidia drivers. First boot of Overwatch got me to about 100 FPS. An improvement, but far from the 170 I was seeing earlier. 
 
What else should I be looking at? 
 
Thanks - I'm not super into this, so please excuse any dumb questions or stupid mistakes. =)

    On 1 3080 I have installed I needed to use ddu for driver removal and then reinstall the drivers to solve the power limit issue.

    Thanks. Did you install the latest drivers or did you roll back a release? 
     
    I did the ddu removal and saw a moderate improvement, but not the performance I'm expecting. 
     
    Maybe my expectations are simply not in line with what the card can do?

    Forza Horizon 4 - pretty much locked at 85 FPS. Have the fans on 100% just to see if that was the issue. GPU is at 52c
     
    GPU-Z is saying reason for PerfCap is VRel, VOp
