Memtest completed successfully with no issues detected. TimeSpy was used while connecting to GPUz, showing the GPU performance was constrained mainly by power stability and voltage consistency. The system is powered directly from the wall outlet.

GPU sensor readings are generally acceptable, though some values could improve. For instance, the 12V power supplied to the GPU is around 12.2V in the PCIe slot, which should ideally be 12.0V. The difference is minimal, but it might be worth verifying periodically. The same applies to the GPU voltage, which often drops below 0.8V while yours stays near 1.0V—hard to interpret from the graph. The stability of PCIe cable #3 is also less consistent compared to the others. Overall, there’s no clear indication of a major issue; just a few aspects worth double-checking. It seems your GPU might be behaving oddly without any obvious cause, like a mysterious computer tale. Good luck!

Checked with a brand new power supply unit, but the card ports remain problematic across three different cables. I'm feeling stuck. Planning to shop for a new monitor at Best Buy tomorrow and test another cable.

For those facing similar problems later, the solution came after nearly an hour of troubleshooting with the Microcenter service team. The GPU was faulty, but it performed correctly on their test bench while still having issues on my system. As a final option, they replaced it with another card—a ProArt 4070ti Super—and it functioned perfectly. We contacted them, and they refunded the 3080, offering the 4070ti Super for $685 (a return). At that price, I would have taken it without hesitation. A very positive outcome.
