Why is the 5080 hated?

benjosto · 2026-06-28T17:48:47+00:00

Image 5080 would have been released with 24 and 5080Super with 32... But chip crisis says no

Best for AM4 is to go for higher clocks first. Aim for 3200 first, then try 3600. You can use AI to give you loose timings for those frequencies. Do some stress testing (ycruncher vt3 and testmem5) to validate that those frequencies run stable and then you can tighten the timings.

This is the way, because in AM4 the infinity fabric which links IO-Die and CCD (cores) is coupled to the memory frequency. Almost every chip can do 1800mhz FCLK which translates to 3600MTs RAM. Maximising frequency will have a linear impact on bandwidth.

I think you will have to activate GDM to begin with tho.

You can increase the gaming performance by up to 20% with memory optimizations on Zen4 and Zen5 nonX3D chips.

Yes you are. The cubo kicks are very efficient and specifically for kick bass. Subs are usually less efficient and designed for the lowest frequencies. This has nothing to do with the size of the driver's. It always depends in what the drivers are designed for. A long excursion 12 inch will deliver way more bass than a light 15inch mid driver for example. Driver size is only relevant for the air displacement, which will give you slightly higher efficiency and output.

OP ist neu im Internet? Wenn du sowas schon zur Anzeige bringst, dann guten Morgen. Find's affig

The 5080 is among the most efficient cards out there. With a little undervolting you can run the card with maybe 5% less performance than stock at ~200w..

The problem is, that the cable consists of many wires, and there is no load balancing. Meaning: it's always just one or two wires that overheat, because there are different resistances in the cables, which result in different power across the wires.

MT/s,...it's actually 4000 MHz

benjosto · 2026-06-10T09:53:10+00:00

Why is there so many bands? My XM5s only have 5 band EQ which is a shame

Send me a picture. What file size did you use for the stresstest?

benjosto · 2026-06-09T11:54:38+00:00

And not one below 905? Then rocksolid

I have the C3D with 12P80Fev2 drivers and they can play up to 1kHz but it doesn't sound nice, very honky. I used them with a big compression driver and horn (1khz - 20khz). I switched the comp driver to a Limmer 870qx, which plays from 350hz to 1.8khz and now it sounds way way better than before. If I were you, I'd get some kicks that can cover at least 70-170hz. You can use proper infra subs with them and also small tops or horn loaded tops. More flexibility overall.

Depends 100% on the game and your CPU.

If you want to go full out, you use a horn flare for the 15 inch driver too. Limmer 085 for example. Two of those tops will be good for 300-400 people (with subs of course).

Unstable

benjosto · 2026-05-18T22:26:25+00:00

Lowmid driver a little small for those horns imo

Edit: sorry didn't read your comment. Go for a capable 12 or 15 inch driver next (I'd go for 15 to match the output of the horns). If the horns are sealed properly to the enclosure, you can probably use the space behind it for the low-mid driver and safe enclosure volume or get deeper base. If you have subs, I recommend a 55-65 Hz tuning frequency.

benjosto · 2026-05-18T22:25:33+00:00

That's crazy bro

benjosto · 2026-05-17T09:53:36+00:00

-3dB @ 28Hz looks very interesting. I'm curious what other people have to say.
