Overclocking the ASUS Prime GeForce RTX 5080

- Here's a quick rundown of the experience I had with the ASUS Prime GeForce RTX 5080 when it was overclocked. It's pretty competent for this and perhaps due to the 400W power limit or the way the RTX 50 series handles overclocks. Regardless, it's super easy and does add performance to the RTX 5080, which has had a mixed reception online, but oddly enough seems to be selling exceptionally well.
Either way, here's my distilled experience with the card and its performance when overclocked.
Test System
=================
AMD Ryzen 9 9950X (Was supposed to be Ryzen 9 9900X btw)
ROG Ryujin III ARGB 360 Extreme AIO
ROG STRIX B850-F Gaming WIFI (1003)
Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 48GB Kit (@ 6400 C28)
XPG Fusion 1600W ATX 3.0 PSU
Windows 11 Pro 24H2
GeForce Driver 572.16

I ordered this card, still waiting for it to arrive. Thanks for the videos!
Same here! Excited to get it despite people's comments about 5000 series.
Great video, just what ive been looking for! Thank you. I managed to get one on lauch day, but still waiting it to arrive.
That's awesome. Glad I could help. Hopefully your card arrives within the next few days
So glad to see you managed to get some extra tests done!
That was a very informativ and well done video! Keep it up👍
Thank you! 👍
Stellar performance and wonderfull video yet again my friend
Hey dude, do you just put +390mhz without touching to any other setting or? I am planning to get the same card and you are basically the only one reviewing this specific model right now. I was highly sceptical about its OC capability because on some charts its base and boost clock seems to be on the lower end, so i was thinking if thats a limiting factor. What do you generally think of the card?
390 with an increase to the tbp to 111% that's not to say your particular sample will do the same. It may do better or worse so you'll have to thinker yourself to find the limits for your particular card. However I'd be surprised if at least +300 didn't work. The limiting factor or at least the 1st is the 400W power draw ceiling
I have one of these cards. I won the silicone lottery this time because it will overclock just as well as ANY 5080 card I have seen. 3250 core seems rock solid, and the memory, well, I didnt even really find the limit on that. It goes hard.
Anyway.. oc gives just about a 15% uplift over stock. Might be possible to squeeze a tiny bit more but thats not worth it for me anyway. In fact I backed it off to about 10% uplift (I dont remember exact settings) and no extra power limit to not put a bunch of wear on the card for no good reason.
That ofc doesnt mean all prime oc cards will do this because its all just luck with silicone.. but yea.. thats my experience anyway.
Interesting. I ordered the same card (OC Edition) and still waiting to receive it. Is there a way to know if the silicon is good enough or the quality level? I mean, with the Ryzen CPUs, there is a tool that perform some tests on the CPU and it gives you the outcome (like "silicon quality" Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum). I just want to be sure before even try to overclock this GPU. Cheers.
So it performs interesting well once overclocked...
May assume It's gonna be even better with "more mature" drivers...
Thanks for the review, personally i´s wish also benchmarks in Stalker 2 and Alan Wake, greetings from Poland!:)
This "$999" card now is over $1,200 at retailers, assuming you can even find it in stock. Such a joke of a paper launch, retailers are scalping and they're not even stock.
Wait wtf? How is your 4080 strix hitting over 74c? My 4080 super atrix never gets above 65c. 4k maxed out. Is it yoyr case? Airflow?
Anything over 8% from an OC is fantastic. I mean 10 to 15% uplift in actual games? Thats massive.
No two samples of any card will have the exact same characteristics. Silicon variation and ambient temp differences play a role as well among other things. A sample of one out of thousands is unfortunately statistically irrelevant
All 4080 cards run hotter than Supers.
very proud four see one more india four the tube
How does this compare to the 4090
Holy Batman. 3100rpm on the fans. I hope the PC is in a seperate room or you have very good headphones.
I did that myself, they don't go that high by themselves, and there's no need for it.
@@TheOverclockerMagazine From what I can gather 3100rpm is 100% fan speed, 2080rpm is 70%. How high would be the temperatures with 50% fan speed(1400rpm) in Cyberpunk?
Does that card actually ramp up the fans to 3100rpm on auto? That seems to be crazy and also raises the question if the max temps in furmark have been archieved at max speed or not and if so ,what would be the temps for like 1600'ish rpm? Thanks for sharing tho!
No it doesn't, was no need for that, I had done it manually from having gotten used to that. However the reported temps in the graphs are with no tuning of the fans and they are left as is by default
@@TheOverclockerMagazine much appreciated!
looks like its capped at 400W, would be neat with some more allowance on the power to maybe see more gains? or is it voltage thats holding it back when OC?
I think it's the power cap before voltage tbh.
@@TheOverclockerMagazine I think so too
Did you overclocked the memory too? +3000?
I've pre-ordered this, do you think it'll be fine on a 750W psu and 5800x3d undervolted? I currently use a 7900xt and that regularly spikes to 330-400W (I wanted Nvidia Cuda & dlss which is why I am upgrading).
Nvidias 850w target was done with a 9950x, so I feel like I'll be fine, but was curious of your opinion?
Would you also do an undervolt test?
I think it'll be fine, the 5800x3D is locked and as such won't exceed the 105W TDP, even at worst call it 120W. So your 750W should do just find provided it's a quality unit.
I understand about DLSS and Cuda, it's just a richer ecosystem than what AMD offers currently.
@@TheOverclockerMagazine thanks for the reply!
yeah I have a corsair rm750x, so quite a good one I think.
My 5800x3d is -30mv undervolted and usually draws 60-80w I think?
I've had an AMD GPU since RX 570 in 2019, they've come so far in terms of drivers and such but I need the better feature set nowadays, I'll miss the adrenaline software though
@@Definedd You are waaaay alright man, i've just got 750W for my (upcoming) 5080 as well. Its more than enough, plus as you said you can (and should) undervolt anyways.
I ran the same test with Unigine 4k Optimized but it's just getting ~26,000 with same overclock. I am now thinking if this is because of my CPU being 10850k.
Yeah that's definitely CPU limitation. As the score should be a bit higher than that
@ really weird. I am thinking of running the cpu with emp but that will make my cpu toasty
Even in GPU bound scenarios does that mean CPU still can cause bottleneck? Would love to hear you expert comments.
Funny, it just swapped my 10900k, it was slowing down the 5080. I saw mild but respectable gains
@@B-Rok88 Hahaha … I was just spending time on some unigine superposition benchmarks and seems like there are only 2 for rtx 5080 and, one metric was with AMd 9900 and the other with 5800X3D, numbers were 30k and 27k
5080 overclocked is the performance it should have had from the box ~ 4090 level, not great not terrible 😂
What about fan noise?
