just bought a palit 2080TI..

[trog100]

well its arrived.. first impressions are its huge but no bigger than my palit jetstream 1070 cards when i took them out.. it looks nice as well..

its installed given a quick overclock and test run using furmark and 3dmark.. its very quiet and furmark takes the temps to 64 C after a few minutes running..

i used the same overclock figures as i used with my palit 1070 cards.. using the palit thundermaster software + 152 on the core and + 620 on the memory..

this isnt fine tuning just the first figures i bunged in..

a youtube unboxing video not by me but it gives a very good idea of what the card looks like..

its very quiet

Yeah, I remember my Palit GTX 1080 was really quiet too. Such an important performance metric.

Enjoy your new card.

Surprised it Micron ram, I thought they'd have put something like Samsung in there??

Still looks like a solid performer there @trog100 Have you any games in mind you're going to put it through it's paces??

I have instant regret when I spend money, even when it's on something necessary...

I regretted buying a used 2010 car some years ago but then I remember when I had to take the city bus for 3 hours to get to work 10 years ago.

 

[trog100]

a quick sum up.. a single palit 2020ti beats the best my pair of palit 1070 cards can do in all things i have tried.. in times spy benchmarks by about 15% and firestrike benchmarks by a little less than 10%..

the cards runs about 60C with 70% fan duty.. the amount the card boost is governed by the power setting.. upping the max power setting to 110% ups the amount the card boosts.. it does this without doing anything else..

there are plenty of gaming benchmarks to look at but a single 2080 ti is about twice as fast as a single 1070.. in sli mode it (the difference) all comes down to sli game scaling..

how's 8700k handling it ?

 

[trog100]

the 8700K handles it fine but lower the resolution enough and any cpu will become the limiter..

a screenshot of the heaven benchmark.. power set at 115% which is the max it will go plus 165 on the core and 620 on the memory..

the card is actually boosting to about 1920 running heaven at 1440 it boosts more running valley.. lower the power to 100% and the boost drops to just over 1800.. i recon this particular card is near its stable limits on the setting i have..

it runs cool and near silent.. all in all a nice card.. its a shame the f-cking things cost so much.. he he

Must resist ... must resist buying hardware i dont need, must resist, must build another PC damit!

 

[trog100]

Gonna fire up a mining program on it? I'd be curious what it does.

1.35 dollars a day on nicehash.. roughly about the same as a pair of 1070 cards.. which figures cos a 2080ti has about twice the grunt of a 1070 and mining has no scaling problems.. he he

[trog100]

readings from the latest zpu-z.. i think the one i posted earlier is wrong on the core readings though this one seems to be wrong on the memory speeds.. its should be 7747 on my card.. 7000 default..

That's a hell lot of money for a single GPU. Still, it will rock in gaming, I'm sure.

The best thing is when you buy some high end stuff and a few weeks later the price drops by 15% or more.

 

[trog100]

and now for me to offend a few sensibilities.. he he

heaven at 1440 capped to 100 fps.. super quiet super cool no ups and downs and a steady 100 fps should be enough for any f-cker..

mind you i do run g-sync..

. Is it bad to ask what they have done so badly??

They have a Reputation for their support/RMA staff to decline ................well documented via google ect

 

[flmatter]

back to square one and wondering what to buy next

I am a mechanic and I never have this/these problems. Always have a project or 3 to do.

This is the exact reason I have a computer chair that looks like a goddamn crime scene. Or like I've eaten 15 pounds of beans a day for the last five years

 

[trog100]

final 3dmark scores and gpu-z after a bit of tweaking and running.. gaming stable..

the actual boost boost is between 1900 and 2100.. that is with a 115% max power setting lowering the max power setting lowers the boost..

tell that to my wife. She gets pissed because of all the polyurethane "leather" pieces that are all around my house. When I stand up ,they stick to my pants ,or shirt and fall off at some point

It's hard to find a suitable chair though, I'm a pretty big guy and once you reach the 250 to 300 pound range chairs tend to die quickly

Off topic I know but a serious question non the less. How's the Prostate?

Keep the posts on topic.

'Grats on the purchase of that kickbutt card, I have one like it myself! I find MSI AB a better utility than Palit's own Thunder Master, and GPUZ sensor has indicated that the card would boost to 2010MHz should the game require it.

most people prefer the MSI one... call me odd for using thundermaster.. but i have tried them all..

I guess I'll be getting one in 2023 or something. Just got 980 last year and still purrs like a kitten.

[trog100]

just to add.. Palit have released a new bios giving 126% on the power slider as opposed to the original 115%..

i am now running the card at + 100mhz on the core + 750mhz on the memory.. what i consider a mild overclock for this particular card.. i have also turned gsync off set the monitor to a 120 refresh rate and frame capped the card to 120 fps to match.. power and voltage setting are at stock..

the card is running problem free.. no space invaders as yet.. i have stressed the card and played ashes of the singularity crazy setting.. for a fair few hours on it.. he he..

Glad to hear, duds are annoying

Glad to hear, duds are annoying

there is a video of one failing.. a guy streaming a farming sim the space invaders arrive and the card dies.. it a wasnt a new card so they can seem okay at first but still fail..

mine is about a month old now.. i am sure nvidia knows what the problem is with some cards but they aint letting on.. he he

ones with samsung memory are still failing so it isnt that..
