GPU Boost 5.0:

"RTX 2080 Ti ran 1350 MHz base clock, was rated for 1635 MHz Boost (+21%) and ended up at 1824 MHz actual measured average frequency in our tests (+35%)

The GeForce RTX 3080 Founders Edition ticks at a base clock of 1440 MHz, with rated boost set to 1710 MHz (+19%), achieving an average gaming frequency of 1931 MHz (+34%). Quite similar to the Turing. I'm still surprised that rated boost is so much lower than what's a realistic average frequency. This causes confusions among our readers from time to time, I guess NVIDIA is just playing it safe, taking no risk of overpromising."

Overclocking:

"The Founders Edition has a manual power limit adjustment range of up to 370 W, from a default of 320 W. "

"GDDR6X memory comes with an error-detection mechanism that is active on GeForce RTX 3080."

" With manual overclocking, maximum overclock of our sample is 1320 MHz on the memory (11% overclock), pretty impressive for a brand-new memory technology—I'm sure it won't be long before we see 20 Gbps or 21 Gbps GDDR6X officially. The maximum stable GPU overclock was 1855 MHz Boost, which increases average GPU clock from 1931 MHz to 1947 MHz (1% overclock)."

So not quite the 2000 mhz that I was hoping for but pretty close.
