Overclocking RTX5090 in Resolve Studio - Surprising Results

Hi All

I thought that there might be some interest in some tests I did with my RTX5090 and Davinci Resolve 20, specifically, over-clocking the 5090 in a couple of scenarios, and seeing the real-world impact of the changes.

Fair to say it didn't turn out as I thought, and as a result, I've changed my GPU set-up. Details below if you're interested.

TLDR. under-volt and bump up RAM Speed. It took me about 8 hours to work the data for this video and put it all together so if you want the details, please feel free to have a look at the video and if it's remotely interesting, give it a like or maybe even leave a comment.

Here is a link to the video on my YouTube Channel

Need to get round to buying this as i am getting more into video. How steep is the learning curve?

There is a quite a steep learning curve due to the capabilities of the platform.

There is a ton of great information on YouTube about how to do stuff though

Just take your time and you’ll be fine.

Any kind of video editing is a steep learning curve. Plenty of tutorials out there though, Black Magic Design have a good video series to follow. You don't need to buy the Studio version to get started, the free version is more than capable for most stuff.
