I've just water cooled my plait game oc card which means it has the 300A chip and has a reference PCB, but has the horrible 115% power limit.

Currently sitting good at 2100 on the core and 8100 on the memory, but is bouncing of the power limit.

I reckon it has more to give on the core front as it does boost up too 2175 at times but is instantly slapped down by the power limit.

So me question to you all is what is the best bios I can flash, as I did this on my titan Xp and it made the world of difference never fluctuated core clock and was solid. I keep seeing the 130% evga one but mostly old posts, is there a more mature bios allowing more power and control ?
 
The Galax 380w bios is probably still the go to for most people.

there are others though, if you can get a evga kingpin bios then you can do 500w - but make sure you can cool that

edit: couldn't find the Kingpin but I did find the Galax HOF OC Labs edition bios

https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/204869/galax-rtx2080ti-11264-180927

It pulls 400w by default but if you want you can raise the power limit to 450w

That should be enough power to hold 2200mhz or maybe higher

Damnnnn I'll definitely be looking at that can the reference PCB handle it ? I'm sure cooling wont be a problem hasn't gone over 35 degrees yet
 
can't be sure lol, that's a risk you'll have to weigh up. there are comprehensive VRM details on some 2080ti models but not on this one.

All I could find is this https://www.hardwarezone.com.sg/fea...-cards/palit-geforce-rtx-2080-ti-gamingpro-oc

Which seems to indicate that the PCB uses the same 70A 13+3 phase VRM that the founders edition has - if that's the case then it should be able to handle 400w and even 450w. Lots of people have flashed 380w BIOS files to their founders editions when the 2080ti was released and I've never heard about any issues.
 
Ahhh brilliant I know mine is the same as the better founders editions I'll have a play this week with them
 
Managed to get it to flash constant 2160 on the 380w bios that floating about I found the HOF didn't want to push past 2ghz and hit its power limit slot was was unsure why that is ?
 
No idea sorry. 2160mhz is really good though. I had a quick check through the techpowerup database and only the HOF bios files claim to go above 380w so if they aren't working then I suspect you're stuck with the 380w bios.

You could try other HOF files, I just linked one but there is 3 or 4 different files in the database. Just be careful, one of the files is a LN2 bios and will probably kill your card without LN2.
 
I feel like I need more cpu grunt but can't seem to get over 1630 r15 score even though I'm at 5.1ghz
 
Has anyone had success with the 400W Galax from the link above? Going to flash mine after I set up my loop and wondering whether to go with this one or the 380W one.

Just looked on techpowerup, seems there are 6 bios files for a Galax 2080 to. Any ideas on which Bios version number is the the one to go for. Going to be going on an Nvidia Founders Edition PCB

Had a skim of the details on all 6, I'll try the latest one they released with the 400W power target. What's the odds/rate that cards have been bricked attempting a flash?

Never tried before and need a software that is known to normally be the go to software to do it.

It's really simple to do I'll post a link to what finished takes 5 minutes, I tried the 380w bios which has got me 2160 and 16100.


Tried the 400-450w version and was worst off even putting the slider all the way up. With the 380w bios I dont hit the power limit but the voltage limit and there is no bios that will help that

Thats with the 380w bios left it running since my last message, as you see voltage limit is constant but very rarley hits power limit but the clocks dont move.

I have the original 330w on mine as it tends to run under the limit 99% of the time. Although i have tried the 380w in the past.

The chances of bricking the card are pretty much impossible. The only thing that will really do it is flashing the wrong card bios (say if you flashed it with a 1080Ti or something), or having a power surge during the flash causing the pc to lose power.
 
Sorry to hijack, just a quick question about gpu bios flashing.
When I was flashing different ones on my 2070super, every one I tried, after a reboot would give me lots of blacked out areas in programs.
Eg in a browser the navigation area was blacked out, or the start menu would only show certain parts of it.
Anyone got experience with that? I tried quite a lot from different cards, including the model up of my card that just has a power limit slider bump. All reference pcbs.
