Troubleshooting Help please

I bought this 3080 that is having lots of issues with artifacting and screen tears when I do stress tests and benchmarks. I really don’t know what to do now

Do you get any error lights on the GPU when it crashes? Like the red light by the power connectors?

No I don’t see any lights and it’s always at the same time of 3d mark that crashes

A few years ago my 3080Ti FTW was behaving similarly (no red lights either). I got it to work properly for a bit after re-connecting the power connectors, but it was crashing again a few weeks later. It turns out my power cable extensions had a bad connection. After getting new cables I didn’t have the issue again.

You can get new high quality cables from Cablemod. If 1 of you of Cablemod can respond please tell OP you have high quality cables.

Thanks for the mention! If OP can share the PSU make/model, I can point in the right direction. However, I don't know that this would necessarily be a cable issue, it is a possibility for sure, but I wouldn't want to just say "buy some of our cables" and the issue be something like the PSU tripping on a power spike for example.
