Gigabyte Auros 2080ti Extreme - Poor Time Spy Scores

Sega Mega Dave · 7 May 2019 at 20:28

Hi All.

I have had this card for a while but never really bothered to overclock it or bench it. So I decided to do some benchmarks.

I ran Time Spy at stock along with setting the CPU to stock and the score i get is around 6500. This is using Time Spy demo. 6500 is the gpu score.

No matter what i try it doesn't get any better, i have altered settings in Nvidia Control Panel too. Even upping power limit, volts etc... it just stays the same.

Temps are perfectly fine and dont hit over 60c so im stumped. Am i missing something obvious?

Thanks,
Dave

What clock speed is it actually running at during the benchmark?

Anything from around 1340mhz up to 1500mhz.

It averages around 1450mhz which is below the boost clock.

Gigabyte Quality Control strikes again?

1340mhz is ridiculous, this card should be 2000mhz+

You say 60c is fine, but for 1340mhz 60c is actually hotter than I would expect - my 2080ti with full core load but locked to 1400mhz runs in the mid 40s and it's an air cooler too.

Do you have this issue in any games/software or is it just timespy? What about the other 3d mark benches?

tyler_jrb · 7 May 2019 at 22:16

60c is a little on the warm side. They run at 70ish max load on the top of the line air coolers.

My watercooled 2080Ti for example runs at a maximum of around 45c with a heavy overclock on both memory and core.

1450mhz is also very low. What kind of power + gpu usage etc are you seeing.

Out of reference. My score is just over 15k in the standard timespy benchmark.

Sega Mega Dave · 7 May 2019 at 22:23

No matter what i run, it hovers around the 1450hmz to 1500mhz and the temps always stick around 58c.

Ive reinstalled drivers, checked bios, reseated gpu. I have no idea if it was like this before watercooling as not use it much.

Have you tried overclocking it yet?

I’d give it a go and see if you can force higher clocks out of it.

Makes no difference, runs at the same temps, clock speed etc...

Colonel_Klinck · 7 May 2019 at 23:16

So you increase power limit and core speed in MSI afterburner and it stays the same? My 2080ti hits 50c full load with clock of 2145Mhz. It is on its own loop though.

What's CPU utilisation like?

Can you give us a feel for the other values...voltage etc

You might want to have a look at this.

Which Bios version you have? This card needs the F4 version at least as it had bugs since August 2017. Use the Gigabyte tool came with the card to upgrade the bios and set the highest mode to fully unlock the card clocks.

After that it will be set properly to 2050 factory overclock. However do not also forget that all Nvidia cards since Pascal start throttling at 32C, chopping 13, 13, 26, 26 from the clock at every 10C over 32C.
At 62 the heavier core reduction hits.

Also what is your PSU? The GTX1080Ti is nice an fancy when comes to power consumption at the 1740 clocks, but the factory overlclocked ones at 2050mhz (like the Xtreme) are on 330W power diet. More than the Vega 64 burns.

Sounds exactly like that TBH. Not good.

Something isn't right with the card, get it sent back and fixed. Gigabyte have UK based RMA and are really good. @GIGA-Man might be able to help

tyler_jrb · 8 May 2019 at 10:49

I’d agree with panos and before initiating an RMA ensure your card bios is up to date mainly but would be worth ensuring your mobo bios is up to date aswell.

I believe you can update your cards bios pretty easily within gigabytes aorus software. You can do it with nvflash but best to use the Gigabyte software to be on the safe/warranty side if anything goes wrong.

If nothing after that then contact gigaman here on the forums for advice and initiate an RMA.

Sega Mega Dave · 8 May 2019 at 11:06

All bios are updated.

i'll try get in touch with @GIGA-Man

Thanks,
Dave

Have Aorus 2080 Ti Xtreme,runs fine with normal clocks . Maybe try uefi/bios update?

heatonpkmassive · 8 May 2019 at 13:04

The message above yours states that he's done that already, RMA time.

Skynet5 · 8 May 2019 at 19:53

Surely this title thread suggests it's user error?

It seems it was user error :rolleyes:

I put the standard cooler back on and ran it, it was hitting around 1900mhz and giving a score of around 1400 on timespy for the GPU.

Add the wc block back on and did the paste better, now its hitting around 1900mhz and 14252 on timespy for the gpu without any overclocking or tweaking. Will keep testing it but so far so good.
