Power Limit & Overclocking 1080 Ti

[geordiejc]

Got my Gigabyte 1080 Ti (Gaming OC)

At STOC afterburner settings i'm hitting power limit all the time. I increased the power limit to 120% and it still hits it every time. (see pic of afterburner power limit)

Is this normal behaviour? i havent even tried overclocking yet....

STOC Core ~1810MHz
Power 120% ~1873MHz

Help!?

I'll send it back and order a better card. Cheers.

Do the founders cards exhibit this behaviour?

 

[geordiejc]

105 what ? @ 120%

 

[geordiejc]

Adding 100mhz to this card with 120% power netted an average core clock of 1936. What a pile of crap this card is.

Could I be doing something wrong I have more than plenty air flow and an 850w xxx black edition (seasonic) psu.

Card temps between 72-75 under heaven full load using stoc fan profile

i see (duh) lol

So have i just lucked out with this card then? i still have an EVGA FTW3 on pre-order i think im going to return this card.

@Besty - I've just been playing Ghost Recon Wildlands for ~20 mins the card is running @ 2012MHz stable with 120% power and +100 Core + 400 Mem @ 77C. My GPU clocks of 1936 were from 3dmark. Lesson learnt use games not benchies!
The card does have some coin whine though... here's a video at full gaming load.

My PSU is the loudest component in my case im thinking about ordering the EVGA G2 as its near silent i hear?

@Panos - i've never used the curve , fancy walking me through it?

@RanxZy - I'm sure the card is, but my card is running > 2000mhz on air, which im happy with.

@Panos - I'll try your guide now, thanks mate i'll come back to you.

@RanxZy I've just ordered the Corsair RM650x it's a silent PSU all the way upto 500w then 26 dBA between 500-650w.

The problem is i'll hear that bloody coil whine on the 1080 ti.

@Besty - i've got elite i'll download it. when you say replicate a sub 2000mhz clock, why would i do this (sorry im a bit thick tonight mate lol )
