I'm curious what implication this has on real-world performance, if any?
Bugger all probably, you evade one limit the other limit comes into play to give you a slap. Be interesting to see what these cards could clock to if nvidia hadn't artificially limited them, im guessing power consumption going through the roof was one reason why they gimped them. And if they had let clockers go nuts it may well have made the difference between this card and the next TI series a chunk less.
Yeah I thought it was stated a while ago that lifting power limits wouldn't do anything, as clocks were already nearly at ceiling anyway.

Mine also arrived today.
Super quiet and very quiet.
Quick update, flashed bios to the gigabyte's official latest gaming oc bios. Gives it a large power limit, nvscanner getting me around 2000MHz and only done a light overclock of mem of +500 but the card runs real hot - can be between 70-80 degrees with 85-95% fan (though surprisingly not as loud as i expected that to be). The RTX cards are mega powerful though! Going to send back for the coil whine which is slightly unbearable, once I receive a replacement Ti at the end of the month. Question is, EVGA XC Ultra or MSI Sea Hawk X?
Correct. Went from hitting the power limit to being much closer to the temp limit post bios update.
Same mine was hitting the 123% power limit quite easily and downclocking.
I have the 130% EVGA bios on mine and the extra 7% has stopped it from downclocking but it’s still close at times.
As well as giving me far better fan control. However block should be here today so will be fitting that over the next few days hopefully.
Managed to get my hands on a STRIX 2080 Ti for £1,263. A fairly beefy upgrade from my STRIX 1080.
Not that happy with the overclock - have managed +140/+1500 - but where it does shine is higher stable boost clocks due to the increased cooling.
Benches very similar to the dual card ASUS, but at lower clock/memory.
