The Turing RTX 2080 Ti Owners Thread

[subbytna]

so £100 added to the 2080Ti how many are still buying? no thank you very much lol...just to play games?

£100 added to TWO 2080Ti's...no point having a bridge for one card so that's heading to £3,000 for sli setup lol. Laughable.

 

[VincentHanna]

Cool, thanks.
Windows 10 latest update was released. Don't know if it's going to make a difference but it suppose to have DirectX ray tracing support now. Do you mind updating your OS and running time spy again?

Doubt it's going to make any difference, I've been running RC5 since early September.

It's like when Windows started supporting DX12, it didn't make existing games any quicker.

Is this possible? The vga is not even present on the KFA2 website.
Could overclockers.uk possibly know more than many others?
In one word are we good to preorder it (without having to wait forever)?

Is what possible?

Their in stock at a competitor, bagged myself a Zotac AMP Edition, should be here tomorrow - who'z ya daddy!

Your GoogleFu is evidently far superior to mine.

I can’t find them anywhere.

Hi Silent Scone (I assume you're the same from overclock.net), do we know more about this Galax 380W bios already?
I mean if it comes from a reference AIB like the Galax SG model?



Hi, please let us know if you really get it tomorrow!

Just got the shipped confirmation, just waiting for a time slot tomorrow from DPD which I normally get around 9am.

Ohhhh man, I hate you right now. I have to wait til around the 20th for the MSI Trio

Don't worry I'll let you know how Tomb Raider runs

Just checked they've all gone again

I'll keep up waiting 4ever.

I got my 2080 Ti Sea Hawk X today:

So far:

-very good cooling, 40ish temperature under load, I wasn't able to get it to 50C
-very good radiator magnetic fan, very quiet, like 2 times quieter than stock fans of my Corsair H115i (that are maxing out at similar RPM to MSI fan)
-not a 3-slot brick
-I got it for only 50 EUR more than MSI Trio X or EVGA XC Ultra, so thats barely a difference
-decent power limit at 330W max
-after OC it matches my 1080 SLI OC in benchmarks, which is exactly what I expected, the power of my 2 cards in one

-very short tubes, they didn't reach the front of my Define R5 case (about 5 cm too short)
-plastic shroud is not of very good quality (rather mounting quality than plastic itself, not enough mounting points cause it to bend in some places), but it is meaningless
-despite very good cooling (so less voltage needed) this 330W power limit is still heavily limiting overclocking potential, throttling starts at as low as 1.000V voltage, which won't be enough for stable 2100 MHz


So the rumor of poor quality plastic shroud is true, but "barely lower temperatures than air cards" and "loud fan" is a complete nonsense, as expected.

There is nothing particular about this card, just a card with AIO mounted on and similar power target to best air cards, with some design flaws like poor quality shroud and short tubes. EVGA is going to have very easy win with their hybrid. If they decide to cool the memory with AIO again (which makes no sense because it compromises core temp significantly while memory does not need watercooling) then MSI is going to have significant lead in core temp like with 1080 Ti hybrids, but there will be no other advantages.

 

[Silent_Scone]

380W is still not sufficient to maintain a constant 2100MHz.

 

[PhoenixSP]

where did you get the seahawk from :O, most places dont even have eta let alone shipping them out still waiting for mine.

 

[arrow0309]

Maybe not in every title, however I agree, it's the bios I'm gonna use for sure.

 

[krzychowiec]

Possible. At 330W there is one moment in Time Spy where clocks throttle to as low as 1900 MHz, 200 MHz below target, thats mad. It won't do such things in games, but still, power limitations are really big. I hoped that people are just increasing the voltage to the max mindlessly and this is why there is so much complaining about power limits and that I will be able to get 2100 MHz comfortably with undervolting, but throttling is so bad that you would need to get 2100 MHz stable at something like 0.9V. At this voltage I am crashing with even 2000 MHz. Despite below 40 C temp.

From Polish shop www.morele.net. They listed it accidentally on Saturday without an option to buy so I asked when they are going to get some stock and they said that 2 units are arriving on Monday so I stalked the webiste for entire day and they appeared on sale when I was making my last check before going to sleep. So double luck

that looks purdy!
i think i may go full water cooling with my next pc rebuid (which wont be for a good few years yet mind you!.
