GPU performance in Furmark appears to be lacking.
You're seeing different results because of your setup and the GPU's capabilities. The Furmark performance you're experiencing is normal for your RTX 3080 Ti, especially at 1080p. The higher frame rates on YouTube likely come from better optimization or hardware. Your GPU is handling it well, so temperature isn't a concern right now. Check your drivers, cooling, and software updates if the issue persists.
I suggest you relax since the device isn't performing a meaningful task that requires diagnostic checks.
It’s really not great, but it has one purpose built in—force your GPU to overheat. The 3080 is famous for thermal problems, particularly around the VRAM area (don’t mix it up with V-RAM). You’ll notice why firmware can be problematic. If you want accurate results, use testing tools like 3DMark or Superposition instead.
The problem lies in the fact that you're expecting a power-virus benchmark to cause your GPU to run hotter than others, making it outperform others in FPS. Furmark aims to push the GPU to its limits, ensuring stability under high power and evaluating its cooling efficiency.
