System Overview & Testing Procedures
We will be testing the MSI GeForce RTX 5080 Vanguard SOC Launch Edition in our graphics card test bench, which is made up of the following components:
Processor: Intel Core Ultra 9 285K
Video Card: MSI GeForce RTX 5080 Vanguard SOC Launch Edition
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Maximus Z890 Hero
Memory: Kingston Fury Renegade DDR5-8800 CUDIMM 48GB
Storage: Patriot Viper VP4300 Lite
Power: Seasonic Vertex GX-1200
Cooling: ASUS ROG Ryujin III 360 ARGB Extreme
Case: BC1 Open Benchtable
Opening up GPU-Z we can verify the speeds of the card and that it does have a factory overclock. So the boost clock is 2730 MHz instead of the stock 2617 MHz.
