I’ve juste got my self a brand new RTX 3080 TI FE. Mining at stock clocks is hell! GPU Temp reaches 78°C (172,4°F ???), Fans go for 2200rpm. Memory Junction temp goes 90-104. But the worst of all, hashrate is permantly going up and down!
Is this a wrong card? Comparing to my RTX 3060 TI it feels like absolutly wrong :-/
No, you should lower the OC/clocks. Mining is a constant load, whereas gaming spikes up and down. So stock clocks MIGHT work while gaming, through probably not, but won’t work for mining. It’s not a defect in the GPU.
