All I know is my MSI 3080 Ventus did not crash on either driver. I played through all of Gears 5, HZD Frozen Wild DLC and Witcher 3 B&W DLC with zero crashes. I did however buy a brand spanking new PSU two weeks ago so maybe that helped.

Played around a little with the fan curves today. MSI really set theirs low and soundless but they tend to go a bit high in temperature (77-78C). Made my own fan curve and now it sits at 70-71C after a few hours of gaming. The noise level went up a bit though but not as loud as my old GTX 1070.

Capacitors are there to "flatten" the spikes in load.
I know what they are for - but that is not the point. If you want to really "flatten" the load you'd need bigger capacitors, not different ones. Ever seen those big car audio capacitors they are selling so your headlights don't dim when you crank up the car audio system?

Yes. Its juust AMD being a little smart and changing product line names to end confusion.

Prior to this mobile Ryzen was one generation and one year behind Desktop Ryzen. ie 3000 series mobile Ryzen was based on the 2000 series Ryzen so there was a massive difference between 3000 series desktop and mobile. Now with this all 5000 series will be the same processor, with the desktop parts only coming out a few months ahead of the mobile parts.

I said flatten the “spikes” in the load. Learn to read kid. For “spikes” both capacity AND speed matter. Thus both capacitance AND low impedance can matter.

Yeah, and my original claim was that the 3080 has a big range in power consumption: On paper it can go from 15W idle to 320W in full load. These aren't spikes, it's full blown hills and valleys.
