1080ti will not boost

lordfletch · 3 Mar 2018 at 17:38

since installing new motherboard ram and cpu ,the gpu will not boost higher than 1480-mhz. i have tried all the usual things ,new drivers,driver cleaner, reinstalled windows,re seating card pulling my hair out here ,any ideas folks ?

Weird. Have you tried manually messing with the clock speeds and/or power/voltage sliders in Afterburner or something similar?

Using a performance power plan in windows and nvidia control panel?

lordfletch · 3 Mar 2018 at 18:09

hi guys, strange thing is when i adjust the power limit slider (afterburner ,even only +1) and apply it either black screens or locks up straight away.

What PSU are you using?

lordfletch · 3 Mar 2018 at 18:23

superflower 1600 platinum. rog maximus x formula. 8700k

lordfletch · 3 Mar 2018 at 23:12

just noticed in gpuz perfcap reason stays at idle when running a bench not sure if this means anything ???

Try another slot, another set of power cables.

tried another power supply mate same old ,im now wondering if its worth waiting on a new bios for my motherboard (rog maximus x formula)?

Don't see it being a bios problem I have the same mono and cpu with the latest bios running a old 780 with no problem .

i delidded the cpu could that be a problem, every thing running at stock fine in games,just card not boosting ?

Temps and case air flow?

lordfletch · 4 Mar 2018 at 12:34

water cooled mate all good ,gpu tops out at 30c, when i could overclock it was never much over 40c.(old build)

it's known to lock the clocks, reset card to default clocks in afterburner(click reset) and apply, close gpu tweak and uninstall,

reboot system and try again and see if boost goes back to normal

lordfletch · 4 Mar 2018 at 13:41

still the same mate,had the problem before i installed tweak but tryed your suggestion ,in heaven it reads clocks as 1911mhz(which was what it used to boost to at stock) but afterburner reads 1481mhz.

what does it say on GPU-Z?

download MSI kombuster if you don't have it, click start stress and watch the clocks on GPU-Z

lordfletch · 5 Mar 2018 at 14:04

gpu-z 1481 bud, headbuster this

I had cpuid read 1550 or something the standard idle clock but all others read 1949 the boost. I eventually after realising my frames are where they should be realised it doesn't matter. So if it really is 1400 or so you expect a noticeable frame drop compared to a review.
Therefore does your card appear noticeably slower or lower FPS than a review?
