Actually the heaviest workload is not meant to test the ASIC of the card, it only test how far PL allows you to go :D. Meaning as you increase the PL, your scores improve accordingly.

This. Until PL is increased all the chips will behave the same relatively. /thread

And this is more the angle/point I'm making anyway, given RTX3080's are held back by far the most by the PL, we try and maximise what we can get our of our silicone lottery 'win' within that ~375w PL, the lighter the workload the higher his clocks will be which can potentially give a false impression of an amazing ASIC quality.

The ASIC quality might be amazing, I'm not the judge of that, but in a normalised workload between our individual cards, restricted by an identical PL, It doesn't seem like it will hold clocks much higher. Golden sample? maybe, I suppose that's not my call to make, you seem pretty convinced. Unless he's willing to do hard mods like a shunt mod, we might not ever truly find out because the card can't draw an unlimited amount of power to see.

Oh well when you test the fastest runner with an endurance test, don't be surprised when he comes out average :D.
For games that are not PL bound, his 3080 in particular would be around 5% faster than the the average 3080 because of higher clocks.
Well VRAM also have ASIC, and it matter somewhat, so it's hard to tell if he got a very good 3080 all around.

i played battlefield V, Hitman 2, R6 Siege, NFS Heat and crysis remastered now.

in all games the clock speed hovers between 2125 and 2160 Mhz. except in Siege with everything maxed out..it runs at over 300FPS and the card drops down to 2085-2100 Mhz
Hi! I received a TUF Non OC a few weeks ago and started to play with afterburner. I noticed that if I increase memory clock it crash all the times in port royal or games. I wonder if you can share all the settings you applied to reach that impressive results. I mean, are you increasing just Core clock or also modifying power limit and fans speed? Can you share all the settings so I can try? You know, the silicon lottery.. I would like to try! Thanks
Best!

Normally a overclock on the memory that is not stable shouldn’t give you a crash on gddr6x due to memory checks in the 3080 however one theory could be that the memory is taking voltage away from the core instead. First set your core clocks to 0 and try again with the overclocked memory

Ok, I will try setting clock to 0 and set +500 or 1000 in memory clock. However I realize that Wolf has the OC version and I have the Non OC and am running stable with +150 in core clock and 200 in memory. I ran COD Cold War for more Thant 5 hours (good game!) with all un ultra or max.. and it runs very well, with peaks of 2140 and max temp of 71c. I guess is fine.. I will upload the CPUz because it always shows the power limited. It should be the resistors that some guys are changing. Not for me such mod!
Thanks!

They don’t change the resistors they just shunt mod it. They solder a shunt resistor on top. You can do that but is it really worth it ? the clocks on what your getting should be fine your not going to get more frames from your current clock unless you water cool it

I have a pny 320w non oc model either and I have the clock at +180, 700 memory, also take note of the clock at full load because when power limited you will notice it will downclock

My Rog Strix 3080 OC seems to be running great! What other tests should I run to check out the system stability?

@deleted member 193596 18142 points in Time Spy is not a lot for over 2100 mhz! My card can run at over 18300 points at lower clock. Maybe you have degraded the chip? I don´t know. I think a better chip means to me more points for less speed, that means the chip is stronger.


ups I read the overall score, not the graphics score, sorry.

GPU clock (target) is misleading. I wouldn't be surprised if your effective clock is actually up to -100MHz lower than what is reported:


I've started to redo my overclocks now and can get effective clock to be -15MHz below target. Expecting that my benches will score better when redoing them.

so i have a 3080 TUF OC since around a week now and i am overclocking it every day (one 15 Mhz Bump every day after several hours of 1440p gaming)


i currently sit at +180 Mhz on the core which results in Cold boosts up to 2200 MHz with the stock fan curve.


my average Gaming Clock speed is 2145 MHz and it bumps up to 2160 Mhz.

In very demanding titles that are going to the max 352W non stop the card runs at around 2145 to 2160 Mhz.

View attachment 171612

btw the boost clock is 165 Mhz above the EVGA FTW3 Ultra View attachment 171613

here is the clock speed at full power consumption and utilization 2145 to 2160 Mhz average.View attachment 171615

Is that a golden sample???

ASUS TUF OC RTX 3080:

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Grafikkarten Benchmark Resultat - AMD Ryzen 9 3900X,Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. MEG X570 UNIFY (MS-7C35) (3dmark.com)

It´s not watercooled (see 61°C), I have it in my Lian Li O11 Dynamic.
I added 200 MHz to the default clock. 210 MHz will crash.
My GPU clock is higher, 2160 MHz and 2 GHz average. My over all score not, because I only have a R9 3900x so it can not push as much FPS than your i9.

I wait for your thoughts :)))

I'm just gonna say, imagine overclocking an Ampere card instead of undervolting AND overclocking at the same time.
