Stabilizing Manli RTX 5080 OC clock speeds in Marvel Rivals
When a dozen superheroes dump their ultimates on screen, my FPS would tank from 144 to 80, which practically begged me to start overclocking. The Manli RTX 5080 OC has a high factory clock, but under heavy load, the power limit forces the core to bounce wildly between 2.4 GHz and 2.7 GHz. I first tried 'Prefer Maximum Performance' in the Nvidia panel, but that just pushed temps to 82°C and triggered thermal throttling—a total backfire. I eventually used an OC tool to lock the core at 2.5 GHz and added a slight +0.020V voltage offset. RTSS showed frame times collapsing from a 7-25ms range to a tight 6-11ms. I did have a few random crashes in the first ten minutes of testing, which I only solved by backing the clock down by 30 MHz. Now VRAM temps are stable at 70°C - 76°C, and the GPU core stays between 62°C - 68°C.
