So I have the 3090 ftw3 gaming not the 3080 BUT we both have the same 450w limit.
I was playing around last night and noticed something, my card can handle ridiculous memory overclocks and ridiculous core overclocks
but not both at the same time because they are competing for power.
Actually let me rephrase, they run fine but i get score regression
So take a look at this port royal run i had last night
https://www.3dmark.com/pr/407968 Clock frequency 2,190 MHz (1,395 MHz)
Average clock frequency 2,106 MHz
Memory clock frequency 1,332 MHz (1,219 MHz)
Average memory clock frequency 1,332 MHz
So you could say I have a golden chip. I ran this bench with +200 core but the max I could run on memory is +900. Even though I can easily run 1050 on memory If i so much as run 925 i get score regressions. UNLESS I lower core clock then i can run memory a lot higher... my issue isnt temps or stability, they seeming need more power and hit and then bounce of power limiter
I really hope they go with 480-520w for the 3090 because we can really use it
