Just built my first PC with the following parts:

RTX 5080 FE (got into priority access)
Ryzen 7 9800X3D
Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX motherboard
64GB DDR5 Corsair Vengeance RAM
1000W Corsair PSU

After running Steel Nomad I'm getting a score of roughly 8100 with the following settings:

For the CPU, just did PBO - 20

In MSI afterburner, did Mem +2000, power limit to 108% and undervolted to 2800 MHz @ 925 mV

Both as recommendations from the youtuber ImWateringPSUs

What would be a good approach to boost those numbers further since I think that's kinda below average. Any help would be appreciated!

Also, in some games I get an overlay in the top left with green text that shows FPS, network speed, GPU and CPU % and temperature but it's not consistent. I don't know what it's from since I deleted the NVIDIA app and it shows up in multiple games
