Same with my PNY 5080 that I got from here. Zero coil whine, high overclock and running very cool (58 degrees at 100% load after a few hours with 300mhz on core clock and 500 on memory clock)zero crashes or other issues on PCIE 5.
People are hating on this card, sometimes for fair reasons, often not, but for me it was a great upgrade from a 3080. literally doubled my fps in Kingdom come 2.

I have +300 and it's not even breaking a sweat, so currently sitting at 3060Mhz (as it had a factory OC as well)
I did go up to 350MHz with no issues but didn't want to push it too far tbh. maybe after a few weeks if this overclock is stable long term.
Similar here, running +400 and stable af. Played maybe 15 hours of cyberpunk without a single issue so far.

It's a great card, people hating on it are looking at the 4000 series performance and yes, it isn't much of an uplift at all over a 4080 Super compared to years gone by.
But for anyone coming from 3000 series and below, it's a good upgrade.

That's what I am talking about. Currently testing +450. +2000 on the mem has been solid for me as well.
Famous last words....
I have potentially run into two issues. So after I passed the +450 run why not try +500...insta crash no problem I will just unlock voltage control and voila. Lo and behold my clocks drop to like 2287mhz or something like that and is stuck there regardless of how many reboots. Google it turns out there is a bug if you unlock voltage control in afterburner it's a thing. Several reports after people unlocking voltage control have reported the same issue some worse than others. It useable just at muchly reduced clocks.
So basically a driver issue with afterburner and knowing how slowly afterburner gets updated could I wait for the next Nvidia driver update? Hell no I will just use the command line prompt to reset the base clocks and reinstall the driver. The only driver that is out and will allow a 5xxx series card to run.....so I did that. It asked to restart and I haven't been able to get a video output since and that was over an hour ago lulz...
Stuck back in the 1080 and will try again tomorrow. I am sure there is some kind of moral story somewhere but I will be damned if I know what it is

16GB for the 5060 and 5060 Ti is fine for that class of cards. Considering they are putting 16GB on those low-end cards, it goes to show what they really think of the "5080', aka a rebadged 5070-class card. The 5080 should have had 20 to 24GB going by what the low end is going to use.
LIfe is no fun without a challenge...but hopefully you figure this out.That's what I am talking about. Currently testing +450. +2000 on the mem has been solid for me as well.

Mine is doing +350 absolutely no issues, I went to +400 and started getting crashes in Space Marine 2, backed it off to 350 and still getting problems but just in that one game, so I think it's a game issue rather than an OC issue so going to test 400 again in other stuff.
It's pulling around 300-320w at 350 so it looks like it still has a bit of headroom

Genuinely expected them to be 12gb cards.
Makes the vram on the 5080 look even sillier.

Makes a variant sku with more look more plausible in a few months time.

Damn. Read about not unlocking voltage control in AB, hope you get it sorted as that’s no fun.
Still waiting for a 5090FE to restock but if by the time the 9950X3D releases if I’ve still not got one I may just stick with my 4090FE and buy my son a 5080FE instead.
That gives Nvidia another month or two to improve stock if they want my money this gen but I won’t be hold my breath.
I don't really play latest games and I am not fussed if I have to turn down settings from ultra to high/.medium at 4k, but there is this niggling thought about if the 6090 is just as scarce, does that mean I'll be 'stuck' with my 4090 for potentially another 2-3yrs, assuming it even lasts that long. This is already the longest I've had a GPU but then I loop back to what games I've played/play and I am zen. Currently playing games I never experienced on DOSbox

The 4090 was out of stock on launch too, but in the intervening time it was easy to get hold of one and at MSRP. You're suffering from FOMO right now but just be patient. If I had a 4090 or even a 4080/S I would absolutely not be buying a 5 series card, I only went for a 5080 because I did get it at MSRP and I was on a 3080.I don't really play latest games and I am not fussed if I have to turn down settings from ultra to high/.medium at 4k, but there is this niggling thought about if the 6090 is just as scarce, does that mean I'll be 'stuck' with my 4090 for potentially another 2-3yrs, assuming it even lasts that long.

Once a card makes it past the 1 year point it's pretty rare for them to fail, like ever, hence why several AIBs do 5 year warranty as the warranty rate is still pretty low.
Oh yeah it's mild FOMO at best
Just an intrusive thought I guess. All I really need to do is look at the benchmarks and then I'm like yeah not even a consideration lol.
