Hi. My card Aorus 2080 ti oc manually. So in games my curve voltage working i locked at 2055mhz with 1.0920v and its constant.

But in benchmarks card hitting pwr limit and fluctuating like crazy.Any ideas why on benchmarks only its not working?

I locked at 2050 on 1.920v constant voltage. And gpuz showing vrel in 3dmark and games and performance is fine.Clocks 2010-2050 and 1.920v.

But when i run Unigine Superposition i have PWR LIMIT and clocks are bouncing between 1900-2000mhz with randoom voltages. Why only in Superposition? Can i improve that curve?

Fan 100%,pwr limit 133%,voltage 100+ and curve,temp limit maxed 88C.
HELP.
 
you need to drop your manual oc & or voltage to keep from hitting the top of the power limit.... it will help for more stable clock speeds. The only other thing that you can do is install better cooling on the card to drop temps. It is a fine balance with these cards.... Benchmark scores are not the end all be all of it anyway... Real world performance is what matters.
 
doesnt matter what clock or voltage i set it just fluctuate because pwr hitts in 3dmarks ......i dfont know why because i have maxed slider
 
The card is working as intended. Back off the core voltage to stop from hitting the power limit so hard and quickly. I recommend shooting for the highest clock speed you can get using +0% on the core voltage.
 
The card is good overall with Factory Settings. But, when I crank up the voltage to 1093, it's dropping power draw thus fps drop.


Ah its hitting pwr in time spy and unigine. On games its fine 2050mhz and 1.093v like it should be.
 
These cards boost frequency based on load...… or power requirements.... So based on the required load of the application that you are running you will see a difference in clock speeds in different programs.... Resolution, AA, Etc all play into the boost speed of the card... My suggestion would be to look at some OC guides for these cards with this boost technology there is a wealth of info out there... Again my suggestion would be drop the voltage back to stock at most you are only gaining a few MHz with the added voltage anyway.... That would help drop the power usage and thus not hitting the limit at which the card throttles itself back.
 
Below is some light reading....

Also all the 2080ti cards hit about the same boost frequency anyway so there is not a hell of a lot to gain, 2100 MHz boost is about the highest they will go and most will only hold 2050 MHz while under a hard load..... Overclocking is just playing the Silicon lottery your mileage may vary.
 
Yes i understand you correctly. But when i dont lock constant voltage to 1.093v using curve, my clocks are normal between 1950-2000mhz in timespy without fluctuating like crazy .
GPUZ showing less PWR than with locked voltage then.


Just for fun i will OC SCANNER and see what it show hehe

ps:
I made a oc scanner and using that scanned curve and its better now but voltage still fluctuating in time spy.
 
Voltage will never be constant, even if you set prefer maximum performance in the control panel. Again, this is how the video card is supposed to work.
