The Turing RTX 2080 Ti Owners Thread

[tatts]

Pretty normal for a 2080Ti most boost up to 1900+ mhz by themselves. Manufacturer boost clocks mean very little.

Thanks for that. That's the only trouble with buying used and not knowing the full history but at £400 I couldn't say no.

No probs should easily do 2-2.1Ghz and +500-1000 on the memory. Well worth that very quick cards still. I can see a fair few disappointed Ti owners who sold their cards for peanuts looking at the supposed minimal stock levels on next gen.

How do know when you've reached max safe memory clocks?
I've been running a benchmark and increasing the memory in small increments and I wasn't seeing any artifacts and the scores kept increasing but I decided to stop at 2100Mhz. My card doesn't have temp sensors for the memory so I couldn't tell how hot it was getting but the gpu was getting up to 65C by the end of the bench run.
Is it safe to keep pushing? (It's Samsung memory.)

 

[frustin]

65C

that's a pretty good temp at that speed. have you tested the card with a constant benchmark program? tried playing something that's GPU intensive for a while? Shadow of the tomb raider or something? I found mine worked for 3dmark (bought version) but then i started playing games and depending on the room temperature at the time can make it hang or even blue screen.

 

[mof]

Thanks frustin I’ll give some games a go and see how stable it is. I’m still worried about it going too far or overheating though.

 

[mof]

The game crashed after about 5 minutes of Control so I guess it wasn't very stable!

 

[frustin]

game crashed after about 5 minutes of Control

yeah, that was my experience and more tweaks when the weather was warmer in the summer (and presumably the same if the central heating turns on during winter). temps over 70 are ok but the gpu can take quite a lot up to 80 i think. 2.1Ghz is pretty high. i think around the 2Ghz mark is about what i get. i'm using an Accelero Xtreme IV air cooler.

Mine usually runs at 2060 and 8000 mem.

Apply test and then usually leave it running a heavy game at 4k with maxed or very near maxed power limit to ensure you don’t come into issues while gaming. I usually go to max core clock before crashing and then increase the memory speed until it crashes and personally back both off a little for redundancy.

With regards to the card temp 65c is more than cool enough. I’d want to keep under 80c personally.

With so many people manically selling off their 2080 Ti's to fund the non existent 3080's, Now makes for a good bargain hunting time, MSI 2080 Ti Lightning Z sold for slightly more than £1500 a mere 4 months ago, I got it for roughly 1/3 the price in mint condition with 2 years warranty left, Original box, Brace etc...

 

[UnderToker]

As the owner of an Asus ROG Strix 2080ti OC I can honestly say whilst it was well overpriced it is a fantastic card.
One of the first things I did was strip the cooler off and repaste it with grizzly kryonaut and it has honestly been awesome since and dropped temps by about 6deg C over the factory slop.

I can overclock it to 1815 on the core and it’ll boost to 2150+ and 15600 on the memory and it’ll run all day not going above 72deg C
If certainly got a golden sample and whilst I’ve ordered the Strix 3090 OC this 2080ti will be going in my sons machine - it’s too good to sell for peanuts frankly and I wouldn’t

Excellent cards had the 1080Ti version and was tempted by the 2080Ti version but they were super expensive and quite rare. Enjoy.

3080 is barely any faster than 2080Ti once both are overclocked, so well worth what you paid IMO and should be a decent overclocking card.

Indeed, It's great we have the choice, When stock levels go to semi normal, But the performance increase from 2080 Ti to 3080, To me, Is not worth the hassle, I'll happily have this in my rig until the 4000 series launches

To get on the Roll of Honour all you have to do is post a pic with your user name on it of your RTX 2080 Ti.

[Lithium]

2080ti is a fantastic card still.... Can play at 3840x1600 at good frame rates. It's probably one of the best value second hand cards in a long time given that they've taken such a big hit on the retail price, especially as lots of them came with 3-4 years warranties.

 

[MultiDoc]

I had in my main rig an Asus Strix 1080Ti OC which has been a great workhorse card, I had it deshroud Ed since day 1 and been using it with an Accelero Exteme III and two 120mm Noctuas as exhaust with great results. A few months ago I bought the Strix 2080Ti OC (another great card but quite overpriced) which again has been deshrouded but this time I kept the original heatsink and only used two Noctuas, yet again with good results both in noise and temps. It happily clocks to 2050 on the core and temps max out at 68C.
I’m waiting on a 3090 but till then the 2080 will keep the rig going, afterwards it will go to the secondary pc and the 3090 in the main one.

Yeah I have no plans of moving onto 3000 series even when the stock issues are sorted out, The performance gap is only around 15-20%, Not worth an upgrade, I'll wait for Hopper/4000 series next year

Don't think we will see Hopper next year but I think there will be an Ampere refresh on 7nm TSMC which could give a good performance increase.

Nvidia historically always do this to early adopters , the last time being with the 2080 super refresh with better memory in. It kinda makes me very very tempted to cancel my Strix 3090 preorder tbh, especially with big navi coming as well and no sign of a 3090 actually being delivered any time soon.

I’m gonna wait for the next Overclockers email telling me my que position and decide on Friday I think - but I am leaning towards cancelling - it just isn’t worth the wait especiallly when better is around the corner

This is exactly the decision I'm wrestling with right now. My homebrew hybrid 2080 Ti is a great performer (16500 TimeSpy GPU score) and even with a 3090 on order, I'm seriously considering where I'd see big gains outside of benchmark scores with a 4K60 monitor. Cyberpunk 2077 looks like it'll be the only thing I care about with a big Ampere advantage in the near future, but there's no sense spending £1500 for better performance in a single game...
