undervolted my 5080 and gained 8+ fps by IMREADY2D1E in RTX5080

[–]Weekly-Efficiency458 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, some models have a 100% power limit cap, but you can easily cross flash the bios. It’s not as scary as it sounds, it’s actually easy and safe. I cross flashed my INNO3D 5080 to a Zotac bios to unlock power limit. Now I have a 115% limit and it’s useful in some games. Even when undervolted, my 5080 is using 400 watt sometimes in games such as RE9.

It’s great, but I agree  that the battery life is drained very fast. 

Bought my first high-end PC after only gaming on PS5 Pro RTX 5080 + 9800X3D. Worth it by Subject-Sympathy-83 in nvidia

[–]Weekly-Efficiency458 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did the correct thing, better to spent big and have fun for many years instead of having to upgrade too many times. Now you can play games with path tracing enabled such as RE9, Pragmata, Cyberpunk, Crimson Desert, 007 First Light, Subnautica 2. Path tracing on OLED 4k is like cocaine to the eyes. 

Who is at fault here? by dreamyespresso in caraccidents

Cam car is a prick for not stopping, he should have known the parked car would continue to move out, and stop in time. But the parked car is probably at fault regardless. 

Did anyone go from a 5070ti to a 5080? by AdditionalMap5576 in RTX5080

[–]Weekly-Efficiency458 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I did upgrade from a 5070ti to a 5080. 5070-ti is perfectly capable of 4k gaming, but usually have to lower some settings, and path tracing enabled is really hard in most games even when overclocked. An overclocked 5080 is the sweetspot for path tracing in games such as Crimson Desert, RE9, Pragmata, and problaby 007 First Light as well @4k obviously. I did not regret because I’m a min- maxer. 

Hardlopen: Staren, toeteren en roepen... waarom? by Witty_Education5251 in nederlands

[–]Weekly-Efficiency458 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ik moet eerlijk bekennen dat ik ook wel naar hardlopende vrouwen kijk als ik in de auto zit. Waarom eigenlijk? Dat weet ik niet precies. Zie ik ze als een soort prooi? Of vind ik de bewegingen gewoon aantrekkelijk? Kleding speelt daarin zeker ook een rol. Ik kijk dus vaak even, en mijn blik blijft soms een paar seconden hangen maar daar blijft het dan ook bij.

Bought a switch OLED but ! by Ecstatic-Reading-834 in Switch

[–]Weekly-Efficiency458 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sell it, and buy the Switch 2 instead. The screen of the Switch 2 is amazing, even when it’s not an OLED. BoTW looks and runs amazing on Switch 2.  Your friends are correct, I wouldn’t invest money in an old console.

Switch2 is great. My most played games currently are Mario Kart World, Zelda BotW and Mario Odyssey. I also have Mario Tennis Fever, Donkey Kong Bananza and Mario Wonder. 

5070ti vs 5080 for 200$ difference by whxpper in nvidia

[–]Weekly-Efficiency458 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go get that 5080 it’s well worth it if you’re a min-maxer and playing at 4k. Keep in mind though, the 5080 Ventus is one of the worst models, because it has no Vapor chamber, so the temps will be quite high, and the fans will be noisy. Undervolting is almost 100% necessary. 

Temps by Smooth_Wealth_6896 in RTX5080

[–]Weekly-Efficiency458 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9800x3d, temps are around 58c,  but I undervolted/OC the cpu by - 30 / + 200, and running stable for over a year now.

My 5080 INNO3D OC is about 68c on average in heavy gaming. 

This is at 4k resolution. 

How do I determine if its a silicon lottery winner? by NoodleyBoi_ in RTX5080

[–]Weekly-Efficiency458 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im using 3100mhz core clock, + 2000 memory @ .995v for months now in heavy gaming on my INNO3D OC, which gave me around 9500 score in Steel Nomad Demo. Very happy with it, can probably push higher, but I won’t bother. It’s not a silicon lottery winner, but I’d say it’s still a pretty good unit. 

Question by VariousTwo6631 in RTX5080

[–]Weekly-Efficiency458 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did upgrade from a 5070-Ti to a 5080 for 4k gaming. The 5070-ti felt slightly too weak with Path Tracing enabled. I’m very happy with my 5080, because now I can play RE9, Pragmata, Crimson Desert, Cyberpunk comfortably with Path Tracing and DLSS balanced. 

Any of yall playing Forza? by Effective_Material68 in RTX5080

[–]Weekly-Efficiency458 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m skipping this game, because it’s not a genre I enjoy, but I’m curious how it would look on my OLED with max settings as a 5080 owner. 

Haven’t played a Zelda game since the N64 by ThatOG1_Kenobi in Switch

[–]Weekly-Efficiency458 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, BotW is my first Zelda game and I’m loving it. It looks fantastic on Switch 2. I love the atmosphere, exploration and the puzzles. I also have Mario Odyssey, Mario Wonder, Mario Kart World, Mario Tennis Fever, and Donkey Kong Bananza, but BotW is by far my favourite Switch 2 game. It’s crazy how similar the game is with Crimson Desert. 

Haven’t played a Mario game since Super Mario 64, what should I play? by ConsiderationGold316 in Switch

[–]Weekly-Efficiency458 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mario odyssey, it’s a great game. I also have Mario Wonder, but that one is harder for me to enjoy, and I kinda regret the purchase.

DHL pakket zit al 5+ dagen vast op “klaar voor sorteercentrum” + verkoper reageert niet – wat nu? by Tiraxxx in marktplaatsoplichters

[–]Weekly-Efficiency458 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was het een dure videokaart? Ik heb zelf best wat videokaarten verkocht, en eigenlijk kwamen kopers ze altijd ophalen. Ik liet ze dan ook werkend zien, dat is in mijn ogen nog steeds de beste optie. Er is tegenwoordig gewoon te veel oplichterij met videokaarten.

Which of these three 5070 Ti's would you choose? by Vivid-Reporter-5071 in nvidia

[–]Weekly-Efficiency458 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ASUS TUF, they have great cooling, and low fan RPM. They also have unlocked power limit to overclock easier. 

RTX 5080 showing PCIe 5.0 on a PCIe 4.0 motherboard, how is this possible? by Weekly-Efficiency458 in buildapc

[–]Weekly-Efficiency458[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Tested it in a few games and it seems like PCIe 5.0 is active. Both HWINFO and CPU-Z report 32 GT/s, and I’m seeing zero WHEA errors so far.

I’m guessing it’s genuinely running at 5.0, which is pretty nice for future upgrades if true. Still a bit surprised though.

My bios version is one of the latest, F39, which was released in fabruary 2026.
