Have had a 3080 FTW3 ULTRA for 2 days now and it isn't working. Finding that the fans don't run unless I force it to in Precision X1 and the card will stop displaying on my monitors after starting a game like forza horizon 5, forcing me to restart my computer. Have tried Rocket League as well and am getting a solid 22 FPS and no fan action until my monitors go unresponsive and I'm forced to restart again. Just opened a ticket with EVGA support but wondering if anyone here has had similar issues with success.
 
I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling graphics driver via windows and DDU and confirmed PSU is connected securely with 3 different cords. Seeming like a software thing but not sure what else to do here. Right before doing the step up I had a 3070 and that worked problem free.

    You said "monitors" so can you leave only one monitor plugged in and does the card continue to act up?

    Ended up trying this and it worked: 
     
    This was to uninstall Precision X1, run DDU then reinstall everything. FPS are still weirdly low but no more crashing which is a nice thing. Thanks for the help!

    Have you tried flipping the bios switch to OC mode, at this your fans will run about 30% at idle

    Look above it was a driver issue, uninstalling the gpu drivers and using DDU resolved their issue.
