Power & Temperatures
So gaming performance and upscaling to one side. We always want to take a look at the cooler and see how that performs along with power requirements as these figures play a pivotal part in picking which brand of GPU and which model, so we booted up F1 24 and stuck it on an hour-long loop to see how good, or bad the Founders card actually is.
It’s here where the 5080 delivers solid thermal and power efficiency, maintaining a GPU temperature between 64°C and 68°C, averaging around 66°C. The GPU Memory Junction Temperature follows closely, peaking at 67°C and holding an average of 68°C, indicating effective cooling performance overall.
Performance-wise, the GPU clock hovers around 2700 MHz, while the memory clock remains locked in at 15,001 MHz. GPU usage stays high, averaging 98%, with memory usage at a steady 86% though during this test, our fan speed remained quiet, fluctuating slightly but averaging just under 1500 RPM.
For power consumption, it’s pretty well-managed, with the total board power ranging from 310W to 325W which is where we expected things to be given its 360W max power rating.
