The Turing RTX 2080 Ti Owners Thread

[arc@css]

got better bin than me, that is coming out of her machine tomorrow morning at 6am when she is still asleep and going in my machine - will see how mine OC's once I finish doing all the updates 

Haha, I like your thinking.

They were also an Overclocker's Dream, both bull**** comments

Can anyone point me in the direction of some in stock 2080TI? I have had one on pre-order since they were announced and shipping dates just keep falling back. I just bought the cheapest one I could find.

That's against forum rules but if you're savvy enough with the old Google you should be able to find a Palit GamingPro OC for £1200 for delivery on Tuesday

So finally got the opportunity to play Elite Dangerous with everything at ultra in 4K @ 60fps .... it was worth the wait

I can’t wait to get mine my mouth is watering lol..

So overclocking...

I am definitely hitting a power wall - I can boost core by +177 and memory +800 but I am finding that my temps are not getting higher than 77C (Founder's Edition) but I am simply running out of power - I actually score higher in Timespy with +175 & +750 than I do +177 & +800.

Still I am getting good results my highest TimeSpy today was 11958 Total (my highest graphics score was 15194) which - well lets just say it is a lot better than my R9 390X was getting

Wondering if it is worth flashing the BIOS for more voltage...

You cannot flash for more voltage, and this would also be counterproductive because increasing the voltage would make you hit power limit even harder. On Turing, you need to keep power limit as high as possible and voltage as low as possible, to get as much power headroom, because this is what is the limiting factor for these cards. You can flash 380W power limit bios (on FE you have max of 320W) and with good cooling (so rather not FE) it will get you to over 16000 graphics score in TimeSpy and basically eliminate power throttling in games, so you will be able to find your core limitations, because right now all you find are power limitations.

However I heard that there are some issues with flashing FE bios. Just look at 2080 Ti owners thread on OCN, there is a lot of talk about flashing bios and there are two bioses uploaded to the main post.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Yep. FE cards have a firmware lock by the looks of things.

Time Spy 16360 graphics score with 380W bios and max 44C GPU temp with water cooling, cannot get anything more. I will wait for some serious winter and make like 5C ambient temp and then try again

Considering that FE stock score is 13500, 21% increase is not bad.

I thought most of the AIB cards use the same PCB as the FE.

Is this firmware lock something extra added to the FE boards?

My MSI cards were ‘locked’ so you couldn’t even export the BIOS for example but you ‘unprotect’ with NVFlash and it’s fine no? Or there are additional locks on the FE this doesn’t remove??

 

[TNA]

Yay!!! It is here and installed. Now to play some much needed games

Haha. What happened to the lovely MSI one you ordered gregster?

Do you plan on doing a review and comparing with the 1080Ti you had?

Enjoy

The date was moved again to the end of October, so thought stuff it and grabbed the Zotac. Not a bad card at all bud. I will do a review but not sure when. Got too much going on at the mo and won't be comparing to the 1080Ti, as I didn't get chance to do some benching before my mate nicked it.

Sort them shorts out

Lol. Nice one Kaaps

 

[Paladine]

Them's some pretty serious shorts - it was -4C here yesterday... (I am still in shorts though - at least, I am indoors)

 

[Paladine]

Looks like I am holding the record for 6700k + 2080Ti on TimeSpy at the moment and that is on H100i with low rpm Noctuas...looking forward to doing my full custom loop next year

So am I best to leave Volts at 0 in Afterburner and just up the power limit when overclocking?
