I got an ASUS TUF 5080 OC after blowing up the 9070XT I got 2 weeks ago by having a typo while writing to the EEPROM drunk.
So I load it up and extract the BIOS, nice it has one of the fancy new efficiency 360-450W vBIOS that Asus has been pushing left and right. Card is whisper quiet, no coil whine, temps never go above 62.
I've tried every curve config from 985mV – 1065mV even going as far as pushing 80% Core voltage offset because I was convinced the off target voltage was droop at first.
I am stumped and at the end of my rope with this card. I've flashed every Astral 400/450 vBIOS from AS25 to the Astral White that came out in May or June. Even with the 5090, I found a sweet spot where I could push to TDP MAX and then some, but this card just sits at 380-404W all day long.
I ran the stock with 100% voltage offset, 3000Mhz memory, 112% TDP, no core boost to establish my baseline cap (caps at measly 1035mV in Nomad) and then went down 1025, 1020 and all the way down to 985mV. I've been feeding Anthropic's Claude benchmark data for analytics and calculations and no matter what the math says, it doesn't matter. I don't know if it's a driver mandated limitation, component limitation or what but It's always VREL limited.
If anyone has any recommendations, I'd really appreciate it. I clocked those benches with so much headroom left it just felt wrong to stop there.
P.S. And after all that headache, somehow I get that moronic score in Furmark… There was literally a 5090 at 25XXX 10 mins before mine.
