Guys, my 5080 Founders Edition arrived, but seems a crap, like don't have any overclocking room,

Electronic device Technology Display device Software Screenshot

At default, just extending power limit, it is running around 2700MHz with 1V in 3Dmark Steel Nomad.

If i undervolt to 0.95V with voltage frquency curve editor and i choose 2723MHz, it will run only at 2450MHz.

If I choose 3100MHz on voltage frquency curve editor, will still run just under 2700MHz. If I go up to 3200 MHz on curve editor (which maybe would mean 2750MHz), the GPU will crash. It is difficult to make 8000 points in Steel Nomad. According to Techpowerup results these GPUs should easily run above 3000MHz, even 3200+MHz not rare. Am I doing something wrong or so bad silicon i got?

You should reinstall drivers with DDU. I've had same bug on my 5080 Gaming from Gigabyte. Also make sure that you don't have such fast frequency jumps before your max freq, it makes gpu boost lower cause it's not using single voltage during load.

Also what I've found on my gpu when I did undervolt it realy likes to sit on one voltage point lower than what I set ( when I did undervolt for 850mV it did choose 845mV which had lower boost clocks). I just set my desired freq for next voltage point - 860mV.

I have a RTX 5080 Gainward Phantom GS with 400w bios. I tried other bios of GIGA or AORUS, but the driver is broken. Only i can flash bios of ASUS.
NVIDIA NVFlash 5.867 Download this is the last version. NVFLASH64 is run, but only with bios ASUS in my case. How i can flash a bios with 450W ?

There are some differences in cards that I'm seeing l like the ASUS cards have 3 Displayport 2 HDMI ports, some only have 3 Display / 1 HDMI; I'm curious if flashing a different vendor bios affects these ports from working properly.

Yes, definitely. Typically the 2nd HDMI port will be disabled on an Asus card if flashed with a bios with only one HDMI port. Not sure about the opposite, flashing Asus bios to another brand.

It's normal. Driver are bugged right now. Unistall msi, don't save/keep any change and reinstall it

You can just adjust the slider of PL, core and memory. Don't unlock voltage control and don't play with the curve.

Try to increase the core at default voltage (there's nothing more you can do right now) and increase it as long as the game doesn't crash.

Se memory straight to +2000

You should be able to get at least core at 3GHz with +300MHz at 1V that is quite good.

Congrats on your new card. I am sure it is fine. You can set +250 or 300 in GPU clocks to see what the card is capable of at stock voltages before you worry about making curves, and to test overclocking. The power limit won't do anything at stock because the card is not power limited at stock. Just make sure Voltage control is disabled in Afterburner settings to avoid any clock bugs like your 2450 Mhz as mentioned above. You don't need voltage control because stock voltage is the maximum at the moment and lower voltages can be set with curves. Also like mentioned above it is the voltage point below the maximum point on the curve.

New driver rolled out. Can someone test if the voltage scale up now and works as intended? (I can't right now)

All cards have a different default voltage which cannot be increased to get extra performances.

Mine has 0,98V and I can push it to 3250mhz, which is great, but with 1V it's already a miracle I could have pushed it over 3200mhz. There are hypothetically other 100mV that I can give to push it further

How are you checking voltages.. i have disabled it in afterburner

You can adjust the VF curve by setting the card to 3000 with 1,05 checking if it settle to that voltage

Did a short test and on new drivers and I've no longer have insta blackscreen crashes on UE5 titles! No longer needed custom V/F curve (for max OC that is).

The VF curve shouldn't work. Did it? At what voltage are you running the card? Whatever I set drops to 0,98V

Oh, thank you, guys! I almost removed the card and would have sell it at a big loss, thinking it was defective or just a really bad sample.

So, I tried adjusting the GPU clock speed in small increments—first +200MHz, then +300MHz. Both worked fine, and I hit 8,500 points in Steel Nomad. With +300MHz, it seems to be power-limited since it’s drawing up to 380W.

Things aren’t looking so bad anymore, but I’d like to undervolt the GPU to gain even more efficiency. However, it’s unclear to me—some say I need to reinstall the driver and MSI Afterburner, while others suggest there’s no way to undervolt. Does anyone know for sure?

Update, 8500 point is still quite low, yes?

It always worked when you had disabled voltage control in MSI AB. Mine tends to run 1.060-1.080mV. You can't rise it higher without unlocked voltage control tho. Never seen mine getting close to 360W (bios has limit up to 450W - Gigabyte Gaming), maybe your gpu runs into power draw limit hence it drops voltage?

To undervolt you need to set the maximum of the curve to the maximum voltage you want. So for example below pictures

845mV more aggressive undervolt
960mV aggressive overclock at slight undervolt

You need to flatten the line after the voltage up to and including your stock voltage otherwise it will just boost higher.

I finally had the chance to try the new drivers with both msi ab, unistall it, restart, and asus gpu tweak.
With both the VF curve setting a higher default voltage doesn't work. The curve works only for the undervolt as per your default voltage.
So if your card has a default voltage of 1,05V then you can drop it to whatever and it works (maybe i'ts useful for the 5090) but you cannot set anything higher to get more performance. My card has a default voltage of 0,98V I can play with frequencies only if I stay only below that. And it works well, but if I set 3300mhz and 1,05V it stays at 0,98V no matter what I set. (clocks 2707 MHz with 0,98V at default)

Also the slider doesn't work, if you use it to get few additional mv, the gpu clocks back to 2500 instead of 3200.

So, we have to wait. Still
