Metro Exodus really doesn't like my 1080ti overclocked

[80251]

All my other games can run at 2164, 1.2V on my 1080ti (but with some of them I have to underclock the memory), but not Metro:Exodus. Somewhere around 2050 Mhz. is the absolute limit (even with the memory underclocked by 500Mhz.), anything more and it locks up my entire PC requiring a hard reset and sometimes causing my gaming SSD, a 4 TiB Sammy QVO to disappear from the BIOS (which I solved by using a second, external PSU to power it). The strange thing is the GPU temps at which these hard locks happen is inconsequential, ~52°C. What's odd is that these issues only popped up on the Taiga level and only in the parts from the service tunnel in the dam onward -- on the previous levels I was able to hit 2152/5003 @ 1.2V. I'm playing at 1440p with all graphics settings maxed. I've read that Nvidia hairworks might be an issue with this game.

The cutscenes in this game are even more annoying than previous Metro titles. 5 minute monologues get old fast.

2050 is common OC limit.

Hi,
Sounds like you're just trying to kill the 1080ti

Hell if you can jack it up that much you should be able to kill mine over here I was only at 2038+-

Hey guys Final Fantasy XIV:Endwalker GPU benchmark is just released and its free for DOWNLOAD so you can check that out test your GPU and if you want post your score down bellow!!! Attention!! The chart is Full but there is a still chance for you to get into the chart if you have the result...

Bottom line you likely aren't stable for that one game.

Metro:Exodus has been reportedly (in Afterburner and HWiNFO64) spiking up to > 500Watts in power usage with my 1080ti. My PSU is only 750 Watts so maybe that could be part of the reason I'm getting system lock-ups in Metro:Exodus, yet the specs for my Rosewill Capstone 750 Watt 80 Plus Gold state it can source 744 Watts on the +12V line!

Metro is very unoptimized, I literally have higher fps turning off hyper threading and e cores. Which seems stupid.

Metro Exodus, and both Redux versions of the first two, ran fine on my EVGA GTX 1080 SC, with an Intel i7-8700K, and Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8GB 3200 RAM, all at stock clocks.

Clearly you either don't know what you are doing with your OC settings, or are not aware that finding a stable setting on one or several games doesn't automatically mean there won't be some games you have to readjust them for. The hassle of that is why I gave up on OCing.

The ONLY Metro game I ever had performance issues with was the original release of 2033, and it was only in a few spots of the Biomass level.

System locking up is unrelated to PSU, the system would just shutdown if that were the case when OCP would get triggered. This is probably just GPU instability.

Not a surprise there are many games which run better without HT and ecores.

sounds like boy overestimated his 1080Ti.....

e-cores, I agree are sh*tcores. But HT, cmon, it's like since 2004 or even earlier and only CR*PPY games don't like it.

Hi,
Likely using overrated XOC vbios about the only way to drill that much voltage into a 1080ti
Better option is 1080ti ftw3 OC vbios with King|Pin fix it's a lot better not to mention safer

1080 TI FTW3 watercooled Slave BIOS doesn't go over 117% (Issue has been fixed, see op) - EVGA Forums

Your 1080ti is NOT hitting 500w. Some of these cards just don't OC well past 2000 and oh well, it happens.

That makes sense because it's only an older version of HWiNFO64 that is reporting that, afterburner is reporting peak power usage of 468 watts. However, HWiNFO64 also reports the two supplemental PCIe connectors as dropping their voltages to: GPU 8-pin#1 min.: 11.5V, GPU 8-pin#2 min.: 11.52V, which indicates a lot of current is being drawn through the supplementary power cables. No other game results in voltage droops to those levels. I'm sure these power draws are only transients and not sustained.

My 1080ti that's on the bench won't even hit 350w overclocked. That's with the 117% power limit and whatnot. Didn't you have a thread on this already or am I remembering someone else?

Hi,
Think hwinfo64 is having some issues especially on win-11 security crap but not exclusively I saw some of the same weird sensor reading on all v7 versions on win-10 also.
But older v6.08 shows non of the issues the newer ones do.
So yeah stick with older but maybe even an older one I use might be better.

Thrash has it nailed, I'm using the XOC VBIOS, which has no power limits (obviously). The MSI 1080ti Duke has a much more robust VRM circuit (it uses phase doublers) than most 1080ti's (incl. the FE and some Gigabyte models).

I've strapped two massive 127mm output-shrouded fans to the stock finstack: a delta 127x38mm and a nidec 127x50mm. These fans put out 200CFM in free air and are LOUD. These fans take up 100mm and 76mm of vertical clearance with shrouds. The nidec 127x50mm fan isn't listed in nidec's catalogs because I believe it was custom designed for HP servers.

Hi,
Yeah I've used XOC to ftw3 vbios benchmarks better
There's a thread on oc.net Kwolf I believe started flash/... and he agreed ftw3 vbios is way better

 

[ShiBDiB]

- OC's card to unsustainable levels and has to jury rig cooling to keep the thing from melting

- Card isn't stable

Does the FTW3 VBIOS have unlocked power limits and the allowance of a 1.2V vcore?

Card's stable in everything BUT Metro:exodus so you'll have to try harder...
