#Any tips for overclocking a 5080?

I recently picked up a Gigabyte 5080 OC and was wondering if I could do some light to mid overclocking on it. I've been mostly enjoying my 5080, but have noticed some stutters and frame drops in a few games (Monster Hunter Wilds is a standout). I have a spare 7900xtx that I did some comparisons with and it blew the 5080 out of the water in MH, which is odd. By all metrics except VRAM, the 5080 should do far better than a GPU that wasn't as powerful as a 4080 when it came out (By a few margins anyway). Is it really that VRAM is the deciding factor here? Would an overclock even help? I'm fairly technical myself, I have an A+ cert and have a career in IT, but I've never overclocked before and it scares me a bit. Any advice or insight is helpful. Thank you!

I'm actually not. Forgive me if I misunderstand, but if the GPU is pulling in air, why would I want the fans directly in the place where it would be pulling air to blow out the air in the opposite direction?

Now that I'm not too sure. I just made sure XMP was enabled and all
