Test rig
We have something special for you! We’ve tested the largest GeForce RTX 3080, which is even equipped with its own display. And at least as interesting are also the results with Resizable BAR, which are making their debut in our GeForce graphics card tests, so sit back and get ready for it. Those increases and decreases in performance compared to Radeon are worth it.

- Conclusion
no crashing over 2000mhz? Are you sure about that? I have Aorus Xtreme rev2.0 and crash constantly in OC BIOS mode. Only underclocking the card to stop it going over 2000mhz has made it stable.
I know, it seems weird, but yes. This RTX 3080 sample (with 94.02.42.40.40 BIOS version) in these tests (and on this test setup, including the GF 466.27 GR or 462.31 Studio drivers for non-gaming compute apps) was rock-stable with GPU frequency over 2000 MHz (< 2070 MHz). Anyway is important to mention that this sample is from Gigabyte, not from retail sale…
