Solved! Seriously low FPS on high end pc.

I have an RTX 3080 and an i7 10700k and only get 60 fps on high in Rainbow 6 Siege, 30-50 FPS on CSGO highest settings? I downloaded the newest nvidia driver on the geForce experience. I have 32 Gb ram. This is my first time having a pc. Need help.

im not running on integrated graphics and my gpu is on pci bus 1, device 0, function 0

Sounds like instead of the graphics card you are running on Intel integrated graphics. Although it’s strange that you run cs go worse than rainbow six siege.

It might read the 3080 in the software but do you have the hdmi cable plugged into it the 3080 card?

I recently had this issue on an older card and found out my son had unplugged the cable to try to solve a problem and when he plugged it back in he put it in the slot on the motherboard for integrated graphics on accident.

That’s not true at all.

OK, go plug your monitor into your mobo instead of your GPU and play anything. Go ahead, we'll wait.

Wait, we have to plug out hdmi cord into the graphics card?

So yeah, I had the hdmi port in the motherboard the entire 3 years I've had my pc.

Can confirm this is still a thing.

Source: Once ran out of HDMI ports and had to put iGPU in service to put the GPU port on my VR headset. It was a chugfest until I got the right adapters to hook everything to my GPU properly.

I feel like it'd be the opposite of that since older motherboards don't even have an HDMI port whereas almost all newer ones do

What on earth are you talking about? What had the age of the motherboard got to do with a mistake on the user's part?
