I'm having a huge issue with my RTX 3080 Ti. It's only running at 210MHz clock speed even when under full load, which is resulting in just 27 FPS while running FurMark at 1080p. I've tried uninstalling the drivers multiple times, even used Display Driver Uninstaller, but nothing seems to work. The power draw to the board is 175W. Can anyone offer any advice?

Is this a new or used GPU? If it’s used, it might have been previously overclocked or adjusted in a way that’s affecting its performance now. Also, sometimes a simple restart or reseating the GPU can work wonders—don’t overlook the basics!
It sounds like you might be facing some common issues with the 3080 Ti. Here are a few things to check:
1. **Broken Power Sensor**: A lot of these cards get stuck at 210MHz if a power sensor fails, which means it can't read the power draw correctly.
2. **Stuck Power State**: Sometimes the GPU gets stuck in an idle state. Running a benchmark might help "wake" it up.
3. **Windows Power Settings**: Make sure your Windows Power Plan is set to “High Performance” and disable any PCIe Link State Power Management.
4. **VBIOS Update**: You may want to consider flashing your VBIOS with the latest firmware from the manufacturer’s website.
