RTX 5080 Voltages

Hey everyone,

I'm using a Prime 5080 OC and I noticed some perhaps 'abnormal' (at least to me) behavior when it comes to the voltages of this card. I noticed when looking online at people overclocking their 5080s, that it seems like most users see voltages in the range of just under 1v up to about 1.045v under gaming loads with no custom curve, just an offset. However, I'm getting voltages around 1.045v to 1.090v at both stock and with a +400MHz OC on my card. Now, at first I believed this to hint at my card being on the poor side of the silicon lottery, but I've achieved some decent results when undervolting (~2800MHz/0.875v and ~3100MHz/0.975v), suggesting it seems to be at least alright as far as I know.

I suppose my primary question is simply: Are these voltages normal under load, either stock or OC? The lowest voltage I see with a +400 core OC (besides FurMark ofc) is 1.045V in CP2077 maxed with PT at 4K DLSS Q; stock runs this at 1.065v. Thermals are under control (70C max). I know I'm likely just overthinking and being dumb about this, plus I'm not extremely educated on 50 series behavior either. It's 100% OCD but this card is still relatively new to me coming from the 3090 Ti that I had gotten used to.

Please let me know if any of you have any input or your own information to share! I'd like to see if I could understand the behavior more. ^(Mods feel free to remove if this breaks any rules.)
