The RTX 2080Ti thread (cont.)

Just a question to yall, has anybody noted improved SLI/NVLink stability and performance through the new Windows 10 1903 update with WDDM 2.6? MY machine is finally working well with both 2080 Ti's installed. Many months of trial & error fixed with 1 feature update... smh...

 

My Vardar RGBs are designed static pressure fans and I place them where they should be, in front of the radiator.

 

Hi there

I have just tried Asus RTX 2080Ti Matrix BIOS which works with Asus RTX 2080Ti Strix without losing DP ports or HDMI ports, every port is working and V/F curve is working

https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/210080/asus-rtx2080ti-11264-190307-1

Its have 360W power limit, stock clocks are under water at 2070MHz which is around 60MHz more than on Asus RTX 2080Ti Strix which stock clocks are around 2010MHz and stock VRAM is OC too at 7400MHz which is 400MHz extra over stock BIOS,currently running 2160MHz which would drop to 2145MHz when temperatures reach 38-40°C and +700MHz on VRAM which is 8100MHz

Although I have hit 360W power limit in benchmarks like in Unigine Superposition or 3DMARK

With XOC BIOS running +135MHz or +150MHz which it gives me 2145MHz or 2160MHz and +1100MHz on VRAM and difference in benchmarks is I would say pretty minimal around 200-500 points in Superposition or 3DMARK

For people with Asus RTX 2080Ti Strix its one of better BIOS although still 360W is just not enough if you do bench a lot

Temperatures wise, with both BIOS temperatures are same or similar

Hope this helps

Thanks, Jura

 

Hi there

Difference between the push vs pull on radiators is not big there, I would say 1-2°C as max, adding extra radiator usually lowers the water delta T and therefore water temperature as well and therefore yours temperatures overal would be better there

Hope this helps

Thanks, Jura

 

Can you elaborate on the lotto comment. How much variance will there be (how wide) say in the same model (i.e. EVGA 2080ti black). Heat? Ability to overclock etc?

 

I currently hit 2100 with a 170+inc on the core on air. Strix 2080TI. Max temps under heavy load I have seen is 60c after extended gaming which is damn good if you ask me.

I do have a cold room as I live in a hot climate and have AC, along with a very air friendly case.

 

I've tried three cards so far.
MSI 2080Ti Gaming Trio : Barely did 2000MHz with static fan speed (+130 Core) (50-55%)
MSI 2080Ti Gaming X Trio : 1980-1995MHz with static fan speed (+130 Core) (50-55%)
ASUS 2080Ti Strix OC : 1950-1980MHz (+120 Core) auto fan

Maybe Sweden get poor cards?

 

Right, now I remember. Didn't you mention 100% fan speed as a sort of measuring point for all cards?

 

Hi there

+170MHz is quite good there on Asus RTX 2080Ti Strix, have as well Asus RTX 2080Ti Strix and my would do +150MHz on core and +1100MHz on VRAM on XOC BIOS, with Matrix BIOS running +90MHz and +700MHz on VRAM

Yours temperatures plays role in getting 2100MHz, usually people are able hit 2055-2070MHz on air and many cases 2040MHz is absolutely max

Hope this helps

Thanks, Jura

 

Did a test with AC: Odyssey and although I'm CPU limited (94-98%) the GPU usage was at 95% and with the fan speeds at 100 they cooled the card to 52-53 degrees which gave me 2010-2025 MHz. I've not tried a higher OC.

 

Hi there

+120MHz on RTX 2080Ti Strix is not bad, but usually they do similar values like you are getting, my will do +150MHz on stock BIOS

I would try Matrix BIOS which is 360W BIOS and using this one as my daily BIOS, XOC BIOS I use only for benchmarks or some gaming

All these cards would do under water easily 2100MHz, on stock BIOS I'm sure my Asus RTX 2080Ti Strix will do 2010MHz which will drop to 1995MHz when temperatures raise to 38-40°C and then after to 1980MHz when temperatures reach 46-50°C

But for sure you need lower ambient temperature or higher fan speed if you want get better OC

Assuming you are not hitting power limit or do you, if yes then try Matrix BIOS whuch I posted, you can have on Asus RTX 2080Ti Strix two BIOS

Hope this helps

Thanks, Jura

 

Thanks dude but idk if I want to risk bricking my card with a vBIOS update. It's 1300€ after all.

 

Sorry I said anything

 

AIO master race?


But yeah, looks decent, enjoy your new hardware!

 

As you were

 

hehe sure it's a take with a wink to things, many people would be more than happy to have our hardware (I just say our hardware because there's always somebody who can't afford it).
Just never heard of AIO master race before

 

La de da

 

Well done dude! And thanks for the report that the H700 isn't a good airflow case cause I almost bought it the other day.

 

Was never at any point trying to be negative or even get into an argument.

But nevermind. I'm done.

 

I think @jim2point0 got trampled by the water loop elitists in this thread. Poor guy. If the system is working, and it makes you happy, then please enjoy it and flaunt your AIO awesomeness. There's nothing wrong with doing the best with the skills you possess. I'm sure you'll experiment more later, but for now, the case setup looks quite elegant.

 

Sorry @jim2point0 if my jokingly return on your joking post was received as making fun of your build. In reality I said it looks pretty decent, and to enjoy your hardware. And afterwards, that we still have kick ass hardware, as in, we all do, that surpasses what other people have, meant in appreciation of it, both the AIO and your build as well.

But to be honest... if you are hurt by this, I want to apologize. Here so that everybody can read it.

But, this is by far not what I'd call bashing or trampled. Not sure what's "trampled" in your opinion, @Chastity , since this clearly was nothing compared to what others say or write here in the forums.
