"I have a RTX 3080 that wants to run 930ish to 1050ish MHz core while mining despite being set to a constant 1300MHz @ 0.7V in afterburner. This is decreasing my hashrate from about 101MH/s to 93 MH/s. I'm thinking this probably has something to do with P states, I tried turning off the CUDA Force P2 State in nvidiaprofileinspector, but no luck. Memory seems to be running at my desired fullspeed of +1000MHz (21gbps)"

A lot of people bought a 3080 and so far nobody has said anything, it reminds me when the vega came out, nobody said anything about its hashrate on monero, now we know why nobody is saying anything, it does 100 mhs, yes we saw this value sometimes but it was from strange sources and not from a random 3080 user. A troll at reddit said his 3090 does only 80 mhs, I wonder why he was saying such lie.
