I find FT8 more works better with strong, nearby signals and a
wide bandwidth. I have only once or twice narrowed the bandwidth
from 4K Hz because of a strong signal outside the FT8 subband.
Otherwise, reducing the RF gain has fixed things for me.
BTW - If I'm trying to copy a very strong FT8 signal -- full red
on the waterfall -- reducing RF gain frequently improves decode.

When I get to trying FT8, I don't expect it to be very differe

may want at that time to review advice given in this thread by
you and others.
