That's a great score. I managed to just get above 9000 with mine once, but it was nowhere near stable.

What settings are you using?

Think it was 410 Core giving around 3285mhz and 2000 on the memory and max power limit to draw 400w. All fans on max, important to start and stay as cool as possible. I unlocked the memory to 3000 on MSI but think it maxes out anyway way before that. Something else to play with sometime.

watching this with interest. I need to upgrade from my 2070 super and was going to get a 9070XT but a lot of the games I am wanting to play will need RT so might need to stick with NVIDIA. All the videos and articles I read about melting power connectors is making me super paranoid though.

It's pretty easy to get the 5080 down to ~280w with *at minimum* stock performance, often better. There's no way it's going to melt connectors at that wattage.

It's not gonna melt them, it's well under the threshold for doing that.

The 5090 however, Nvidia thought they had enough wealth and arrogance to bend the rules of electricity. That card has a real chance to melt connectors if the connection setup isn't as good as it should be.

I'd expect a 5080 to stay well under 600w and if used with quality cables and power supply, a 5080 is fine.

5090 with an undervolted can pull ~ 450watts.

Yeah, and stock can be close to 600 watts, bit too close for my liking. I'm not quite getting your point, albeit what you've said is indeed 100% correct.

To explain my point, anyone who is any good at planning and development of new IT systems knows the smart people give themselves as much headroom as possible. 600 watts on that particular connection is cutting it mighty fine, because there are quite a few points of failure.

But Nvidia thought that's fine, it's only electricity. And now you have the crazy situation where people are smelling their cards and having to use monitoring software to check their **** isn't burning up.

Knowing what I do about electricity, I have never been so happy to skip a generation.

But you're totally right, you can tweak that thing to be very frugal indeed without sacrificing much performance at all. Point is, doing that shouldn't be a necessity. That headroom I was on about should be there.

I will, its not bad, low to mid 50's just playing COD for about an hour, I think at stock boosting to around 2850, just had a weird issue, came home tonight and wouldnt post, noticed the light near the back of the i/o shield next to bios flashback was flashing, ended up having to pull the power lead out and wait a moment and it booted fine, decided to check bios and I was quite a few out so updated that, updated sucessfully and then rebooted and same story, noticed I was also getting a green and white post light which told me was a graphics issue, basically had to pull the card, clear cmos, set bios using onboard and then putting the card back in, thankgod this one wasnt in a loop or id of been stuck for ages
