So after a week or so of having a play benchmarking the pc with the revitalised Asus Rog Strix 3080 10gb im glad to say that this card has done very well considering the condition it was in.
got some 3dmark results from steel nomad from when i 1st got it and tested to confirm it works. and my best undervolt overclock result. will include my best steel nomad run with a regular overclock without playing with the curve. and also managed to squeeze a no1 result on speedway for the 3080 and i9 9900k combo which I thought was pretty neat.
Thanks to cufish aswell bouncing ideas off him was a good laugh
