1080 ti FE - dropping below advertised boost clock.

If you rma the card they will test on am open bench so won't have bad airflow lile inside a case and therefore will keep the clocks and problem will not be present
 
Mine does the same thing OP, you need an aggressive fan curve (easiest way is via MSI afterburner). The ti fe makes an enormous amount of heat and it throttles itself even on base clocks. Nvidia has set it so that when it hits 90 degrees? the clock speeds go down instead of the fans going up, which is a bit silly.

The upside is that once you have a fan curve set, you can overclock it pretty decently without adding extra noise or heat.

Hi your card is 1080 ti FE like mine? And your card doing the same thing ,on stock fan settings and stock clocks?


ps:
My case is Cooler Master Centurion 590 with side panel opened always.
 
No overclocking,no tweaking ,all stock and default.

The temp limit is default at 84. I thought at the default setting the fan is targeted at 50% and the card would start throttling once it hits 84c so it wouldn't go past the temp limit of 84. But in my experience it goes past that limit from time to time and the fan would spin at 60-65%. Is this normal? Again this is at default setting with nothing overclocked. Going past the temp limit hitting 85-86c ( without throttling , gpuz shows VREL or PWR limit instead of THRM ) with loud fan noise is worrisome. I'm not sure if this is a driver problem or this is normal?

I tried on 378,382 and newest drivers
 
Mine boosts to around 1850 MHz at stock even whilst running furmark. Albeit fans at 100% and the temperature is around 70C.

This is a hot card but my GTX 470 was even hotter.

Try 100% fan and it should throttle less as temperatures should be lower.

What you are seeing is GPU Boost 3.0 taking effect. As the temperature increases the card will revert to lower speed/voltage bins.

Similar to this:

Temps sometimes go past 84C to 86-87C and i dont have THermal limit drop in clocks in gpuz. Gpuz stating Pwr limit or voltage limit. Any ideas?
 
Seems very odd for it to drop below the listed boost clock as that is very low. From reading, most seem to do at least 1800mhz out of the box with no tweaking (and can hold that). I just got a SC 1080TI black and that holds about ~ 1900mhz during a Timespy bench. Though granted the cooler does keep it from going above 70 degrees.
