ill have to turn off the fps limit to see, i had it capped at 80 fps. Will get back later
Thanks, but I was hoping to get those numbers from the OP to compare āapples to applesā with his upgrade. 
I tend to float around 110-120fps out in the world on my MSI 1080. Not sure if/when Iāll jump to a 3080.
Oh sorry for some reason my mind kinda just saw the R in Reshka an thought that was me.
Nothing is over heating?
WoW isnāt great at utilizing numerous CPU cores like many games. So just looking at total utilization is gong to be misleading. Dig into the few cores the game is taxing.
I also have a 3440x1440p monitor. I use a 2080 Super and 8700K OC to 4.8ghz- my settings are on 7/ultra and i get my max fps (120) in open world and instances and about 60-80 in heavily dense areas. I still feel like your 3080 should be performing better?
My system and results are similar to yours except I have a 1080ti and my 8700k is at 4.7ghz. I would hope the new 3080 would be able to beat us with ease. I can only assume there is something in the setup causing the slower results.
Nothing is overheating, temps are gravy. Iām going to post this in the tech support forum and also reference this thread and see if blizz comes up with anything or anyone else.

I have the same issue, Asus TUF 3080 and running in Nya at setting 7 i get 40FPS, my 2080TI was getting an easy 70-80. Something isnāt making sense, everythings up to date, the GPU temps are amazingly low.
I have been monitoring my CPU cores, I have an 8700K and am noticing 1 core averaging 80% utilization, So that might be causing it.
I can confirm CPU bottleneck. Get Ryzen 5600X and it will give you more boost. WoW loves CPU IPC (Instructions per clock) and clock speed more than cores.
Are you using Elvui? that kills the FPS for me speically in big areas/dungeons. Iāve noticed that with Blizzard default UI I get 100 fps on my 100hz monitor while standing in Dungeons/raid but when I use Elvui I drop to 65fps which losses almost -40 fps.
Same goes for Weakaura.
Thatās just my own experience tho, nothing serious or sure ā¦ try it.
seems low, try disabling the all core OC. Your boost clocks should be 200-300mhz higher on lightly threaded loads if you just let Precision boost2 work. (not pbo)
Also confirm XMP/DOCP is enabled for your ram.
So I just wanted to follow up on my previous post.
I ended up checking my bios and all my clock settings reset. My memory was running at 2133 and itās 3200MHZ memory, I re-enabled all my XMP profiles and then also OCāed my CPU by 500Mhz and am now getting steady 80+ FPS in all zones even in 20 player raid.
So, ended up being underclocked system issues. It runs great now.

I see you got a fix going already but for anyone else that has this question in the future. Another thing to check is make sure you dont have Vertical sync enabled. My 3090 was doing horrific things with it on and bring view distance down to 7. went from being weirdly hard stuck at 68 fps (i have a 1440p 144hz monitor no idea why vert sync was capping me at 60) now running 115-160fps with a 200 resolution scale going.
Not sure why this did not came up earlier , people tend to forget wow is a lot more cpu dependant for example going from a 1080ti to a 3080 would almost have no impact on fps

Maybe this is just my old man side talking, but I find this to be a kind of dirtbag practice. Yeah, there are 30 day return policies, but it seems kind of crappy to buy something with the intention of returning it. Just saying.

it is what it is, Iām not sad for any billionaire companies, lol.
I ended up upgrading from my 3600x to a 3900x as well, it seems to have improved quite a bit.
Iām regularly getting 150+fps in zones with RTX on High and all 10+ ultra settings. The latest rounds of driver updates have helped a ton.
Looking forward to the expansion.
Thatās odd, my 3950xās memory went from 3200Mhz to 2133Mhz after I stuck in my 3070. Not clue why.
Itās not the companies as much as how you want a society to be run. Generally, I tell a sales guy/girl this is a temp and Iāll be upgrading. Theyāre usually ok with it. If someone is going to slap me with a return fee or w/e then I find someone else who is ok with it and buy from them.
Exactly. I target specific stores (e.g: Micro Center and Amazon for their phenomenal return policies.) Iāll pay that little bit extra to have that kind of security.
If they didnāt allow it, obviously I wouldnāt do it.
Did you find a fix? Same problem here, at 1080p everything max with RT shadows off I gte 90-110fps running around ardenwield and such.
