With all of this talk of NVIDIA binning the silicon for Turing, do we know what 2080Ti cards use the A revision?

Do the FE cards use it?
 
Luckily my MSI 2080 Seahawk X has it. Explains why I can get over 2100 on the core, but I have micron memory that is unstable past a 200 oc, so I don't even bother with it.
 
From what I've seen all 2080Ti's report as A revision unless someone can correct me wrong. On the founders edition card I can easily hit 2ghz with 124% power slider and a marginal extra clock of like +30mhz. If you swapped the stock FE cooler out for a water setup I imagine it could easily hit 2100mhz although the power limit on the FE version of 124% may be an issue.

I think both my cards have a A binning. I'm more curious about the new sub 1k 2080ti cards to which gpu binning revision they may use.

I've hit 2100 peak with it holding a consistent 2040mhz and a 570 max mem oc on both 2080ti I have. 130% power threshold. Temps are over 80C which I don't feel comfortable with over the long term due to having audible fan noise for what amounts to be minimal gain. It shows in benchmarks, but doesn't really make for anything significantly noticeable in gameplay. Under normal settings, I've seen it hit 1900's consistently and live at low 70s temp.
 
I have an FE 2080 Ti. I was able to do +100 core and +250 memory (110% power). Getting around 1950MHz boost.

I tried to hit 2000MHz but it wasn't stable. Maybe if I bumped power more I could reach it, but my system is stable now so I'm happy with a light OC.
 
What the hell, I did some overclocking. I'm now around 2025MHz core and 7500MHz memory.
 
I've noticed an odd trend with my stock settings on my EVGA card last night. The fans are ramping up to 2500rpm at default while gaming making them audible. Temp wise it's still low 70s, but with the increased fan speed I'm seeing as low as 66C while gaming. Clock speeds seem consistent with peaks around 1975 for default GPU boost. I'll double check that windows didn't decide to swap drivers on me during a reboot.
 
I did yesterday when I noticed it. I lowered the fan speed profile to below audible and can now game in peace and 72C temps. No weird burning smells or anything and my infrared thermometer is not showing any unusual temps at the back where other's reported ceramic caps frying.

So it may take me a week or two. I got an auto notify on the EVGA 2080TI black that I had set way back before I started researching and found the binning differences.

Me being me. Of course I bought it.

Honestly, not only do I want a new shiny toy. I really want to see what the overclocks are like on the 300 chips vs the 300A. That is if it has the 300 chip. Because if they are binning, where the hell are all the 300 chips. I see lots of 300A chips moving in overclocked cards, but I haven't seen much movement of the base cards that are supposed to have 300 chips.

So I have the card arriving next Tuesday. Free shipping, not wasting more money on a vastly overpriced card. And I am not sure when the hydrocopper block arrives. It was 10 bucks cheaper from the modmymods website after shipping, so I went with them, because once again. This is a vastly overpriced card. I mean. I can afford this and all. But I know I am getting screwed and paying prices that they should have cut after the mining craze died.

On Tuesday for sure. I will make a thread. And people can discover what chip is in the $999 EVGA 2080ti Black. If I am awake enough, maybe I throw some tim on, reseat the air cooler, and see if I can slide it into my build beside my water cooled 1080ti. If not. I will report the overclocking potential when able to put on the block and put it in my loop.
 
I don't think nvidia is providing anything else at this point.
 
Someone posted a Pic of the eVGA black and it had the A on the chip code.

The only picture i saw was on overclockers, and it showed the same stock image of a reference card as it did for the other evga cards. Same link for all the reference cards.

I have seen a couple of GPUz screen shots of the EVGA Black showing A chips.

Shipping notes for my hydrocopper show the normal part number, but for my 2080ti, it shows an "X1" on the end of the part number.

We will see.

Good thing it's a 2080 and not a 2080 Ti...a 200 OC would be garbage given how memory bandwidth limited it is...
