RTX 3080 Founders performance

[Surprise-Mother]

Been benching 3D Mark Timespy,

Max core clock I get is 1965 but mainly in the 1800's

GPU score is 17.2k

Maximum temperature on the GPU is 75C

All stock of course is still normal?

Paired with 9900k, 3600mhz CL16 memory

Just to add Guru review their GPU was 17.8k do you think this is purely ambient temperature and difference in boosts?

Your score is only 3% lower. Surely that's within margin of error.

Your score is only 3% lower. Surely that's within margin of error.

definitely when you take into account background processes, CPU bottlenecks and temperature related Perfcap, 3% is nothing.

Seems fine, mine is lower(16796), runs similar clocks, slower CPU (3900X)

Don't forget some reviews were done on the early drivers and performance was dialled back a couple of weeks later as some cards were boosting too high and crashing "remember the POS cap controversy". My own card lost around 400 points after this change.

Ok thank you,

Managed to put +150 on the core and +1000 on the memory now up to 18932

Sounds right, with the heatwave we are having and also remember reviewers use an open bench (not in a pc case) and when they reviewed these cards it was winter too.
