I’ve noticed that more and more people are having issues with the clock speed on the 5080.
My case:
I have a Palit 5080 GameRock, and the clock speed should be 2617 MHz. However, every time I restart my computer, this value changes!
Sometimes it’s 2850 MHz, other times 2300 MHz, which completely breaks overclocking since the base clock keeps fluctuating.
On another forum, I found at least four people with the same issue, and there’s also a similar discussion on Zotac’s subreddit. Could this be a problem with the drivers or the GPU BIOS?
The only common factor I’ve noticed is PCIe 5.0—people using PCIe 4.0 don’t seem to experience this issue.
So far I can confirm that owners of Palit, Gigabyte and Msi confirmed this kind of behavior on theirs cards. I need to find a way to switch my PCiE down to 4.0 and see if that helps.

early adopter traits - guess you will have to wait for driver updates to fix this until then maybe better to run at default?
