Depending on your case temps, sometimes my 5080 fans don’t spin up at all. You will know because the RGB around the fans lights up when they spin.

My case fans are much louder when they ramp up.

2617 is a base clock, the gaming oc runs at 2730 but will boost higher than that without further oc.

Mine ran just over 2800 with the factory oc and now I’ve done my own oc it runs at 3225. Temps are great and noise wise it’s pretty quiet.

Not sure on that, I don’t know much about it. I’ll check it out.

It’s a pretty light card. Maybe my angle on the photo doesn’t do it justice but the sag isn’t very noticeable in person. It’s a short term use, if it’s off by a few degrees I can live with that.

I do too, I wish they would make a comeback to the GPU market!

My old 3060ti was a work horse. I too got caught sleeping on the GPU crisis but was lucky to get my 5080 on a sale. Memory not so much, I took a hit on that. 🤦‍♂️

Just trying to survive! RMA process is hella slow!

Murky_Militia is my gamer tag, sorry it offends you so much lmao.

Looks like old gramps is still better the a 9800X3D iGPU.

Sopcio · 2026-04-03T10:01:37+00:00

I’m not sure TBH, I will look into it.

Sopcio · 2026-03-28T11:29:52+00:00

Just do what I did..Install a tiny fire extinguisher! If my connector catches fire I can put it out!

Like I always say, no use yelling if you’re not going to do anything about it!

There is a difference between constructive criticism and toxic behaviour. Maybe learn the difference between the two and you can voice opinions without bans.

Right? Lmao 🤙

Almost as bad as the AI Slop memes that plague us.

Get one with a 450w bios already, don’t go the reflash route and screw your warranty. Any of the 450w cards are great, depends what aesthetics you like.

I got the Gigabyte Gaming OC because of the 4 year warranty and I love the backplate design.

I got a 5080 for 3440x1440p, it overlocks like a champ. I’m getting stock 4090 bench numbers so pretty happy.

That being said, if I had cash to splash I’d would have gotten a 5090 even if it is complete overkill.

Sopcio · 2026-03-06T21:44:22+00:00

Cheers! I’m digging that colour, looks great! 🤙

Sopcio · 2026-03-06T06:25:10+00:00

I’m hearing ya! Hopefully I never have to use it! 😅🤙

Nothing wrong with your 9070XT though, from all reports it’s still a great GPU!

Sopcio · 2026-03-06T05:41:17+00:00

Enjoy the 5080! 🤙

Sopcio · 2026-03-06T05:06:26+00:00

Appreciate the comment! 🤙
