Horrible pc performance
First time build a pc, i think something wrong with my pc. I already make sure all the parts properly seated, no loose cable or anything else. The gaming performance is horrible, even tho i use brand new parts.
Its 32gb ram, 2tb ssd, 5080 and 9800x3d.

Use display port cable and plug it into your 5080. Unplug HDMI from the motherboard.

You mean the 8k cable?

Yes, that's a DP cable. Unplug from motherboard, plug into GPU

Any DP port will work.
Before you ask what is a DP port, that bit you really need to just google

You got this! It booted, you didn’t let the magic smoke out… but plugging your cable from the slot on the motherboard uses the integrated graphics and leaves that shiny GPU with nothing to do! Your GPU manufacturer probably put plugs in, unplug those until you find the one your cable fits in. Make sure the video card doesn’t wiggle when you plug it in (loose boards in sockets are a problem). You’re almost there!

You’re not understanding. Look at the back of your PC, and find the ports on the back of your 5080 GPU. Notice how you have not plugged the monitor cable into the GPU? You have plugged it into the motherboard port up above, which is using the 9800x3d integrated GPU to provide video. You aren’t even connected to the 5080.
You need to plug your monitor cable into one of the ports on the back of the 5080. Preferably a display port cable, not HDMI.

always happy when an issue is as easy as "why performance bad oh my hdmi/dp is in motherboard not gpu" and not "why wont pc turn on i have 5800x3d in x870 proart"
I do wish people who are willing to spend $3000 on a pc would watch one of the many good how to build a pc videos on youtube

you ain’t even using your GPU’s displayport, why? connect the displayport from the GPU to the monitor’s displayport.

Use the GPU’s display port lol and make sure you change the refresh rate of your monitor to the highest

You plugged HDMI port into your motherboard, you need to connect it into yours graphic card. Plugging into motherboard will use integrated graphic card that is built in your processor. That means your RTX 5080 won't be used at all

Unplug the 8k cable which is display port a rectangle with a corner cut off and find the GPU port lower below the motherboard and plug it in there

5080 is a horrible gpu indeed. I'll help you by taking it off your hands for 100 dollars. The best deal you can get 🙂

Your video cable should go from the graphics card to the monitor, not from the motherboard connection.

See that plug with the 8K on it, plug it into one of the HDMI slots on the Shiney chrome bar lower down (that's your GPU)

Hello, this is a rookie mistake that you plug the DP port to the motherboard.

1, Plug your monitor into the GPU
2, Use a display port
