  Sure, here are the recommended overclocking settings for the RTX 3080 using MSI Afterburner: 1. Increase the core clock by +100 MHz. 2. Increase the memory clock by +500 MHz. 3. Set the power limit to the maximum allowed. 4. Adjust the fan curve to ensure adequate cooling. These settings should provide a good balance between performance and stability. However, it's important to note that every graphics card is different, so you may need to fine-tune these settings based on your specific card and cooling setup. Happy overclocking!
