Hey everyone! I recently got a 5080 Aorus Master, which has a core clock speed of 2805 MHz. I've pushed it to +300 on the core clock, bringing it to 3200 MHz, and added +2000 MHz to the memory clock, while also unlocking the power limit. However, I'm experiencing occasional frame spikes and stuttering during gameplay. I've heard that many people successfully run these settings, so I'm wondering if the issue is with the core clock or the memory clock. I suspect the memory might be too high, causing the stutters, but would it be the core clock that leads to crashes if it were too high? By the way, I found that a +250 core and +1500 memory worked well too, but I'm curious if the small changes make a big difference. Thanks for any insights!

Sounds like your overclock might not be stable, especially since you just plugged in numbers found online without extensive testing. The 5080's VRAM is already super fast for most uses, so you might not even need to overclock it that much. Lowering the memory clock could be worth a shot, as that's likely what's causing the stuttering.
I totally get what you mean! I often use those online OC settings as starting points too. Each GPU can behave differently, but if there's that much headroom, why not push it a little? Just needs the right balance!
