I have been spending this afternoon getting into overclocking manually for the first time and I'm kind of confused by the results i see on Furmark.
Before i was just using the auto overclock in the Nvidia app and was getting pretty consistent 180 to 185 fps yet after manually doing a +250 core clock and a +1500 memory clock on MSI afterburner i am only getting a consistent 175 to 180 sometimes spiking to about 185.
Now i know that a small difference but i'm still pretty confused by it. Especially since i've been doing 3DMark runs and managed to get from top 30% to #6 on the leaderboard for my specs.
Is it just Furmark being weird or?
Again i am very new to this. I would rate my overall tech skills as "meh". Just used Msi tutorial video for the basics then went into the trenches.
Thanks in advance for the help 🙂

Furmark is not a realistic load and hits the power limit very quickly and then under-clocks. Instead run Unigen Heaven Benchmark for a more realistic load.
I have the same issue but with a RTX5080.
At 1920×1080: power limited at 3120 MHz.
At 5120×2048: power limited at 2400 MHz.
Unigen Heaven at 5120×2048: vRel limited at 3240 MHz.
