Question about RTX 2080 TI Power usage

[McGalden]

Hello,

 

I recently got a new PC with this specs:

CPU: AMD R7 2700

GPU: Zotac 2080 TI Twin Fan

RAM: T Force Xcalibur 3600MHz

MOBO: TUF B450-Plus Gamming

SSD: Corsair MP300 960 GB

HDD: SeaGate Barracuda 2TB

PSU: Corsair TX850m

 

This is the 1st PC that I personally choose the parts to put on it.

(There some parts that I do know are sub optimal, but I discovered it after I got the PC , like that MP300)

 

The PC is having some stuttering problems, trying to solve this I noticed this on the GPU Power% graph:

 

Is this a normal behavior for the power usage in the 2080 TIs?

OBS: I can't increase the Power Limit over 112%

Fairly normal power graph the spikes can be it just bugging out. Are you running multi monitors?

[McGalden]

No SIngle monitor

ASUS PG248QR

 

I can't say for sure. But I think the stutters in games happen at the same time as the spikes.

Both stutters and the spike seems to stop after some time running a test (The PC was running Furmark at the time I took the screenshot)

The card has a power limit of 112%. A EVGA 2 fan card like my XC has a power limit of 130%

 

This is what it looks like at 130%. It is running a 1080p bench so it is running hot. 

As you can see Zotac is being cautious and EVGA knows some cards will be converted to water and need the higher limit.

 

 

 

Here is the XC at 100%.

 

 

Here is what it looks like in Afterburner. The first part of the graph is idle the second is GPUZ bench and the third is Heaven at 1080p.

Ohh, your MSI Afterburner graph went beyond the power limit too. Well, that is a relief, looks like I'll not need to go through the RMA process.

I was not really expecting it to have a great OC potential, since the Twin Fan seems like it is their most basic card.

 

One more question, does your system stutter in Heaven?

Every time I run Heaven my system will stutter at the same locations.

 

Thanks for the help guys!

The stutter in some scenes are CPU. With an i7 8086k at 5ghz there is a slight pause in scene  21. That is the big swing around the whole island. With a i7 8700k at 4.7ghz it is several slight pauses in scene 21. With an i7 6700k it could be called a stutter in several scenes and that CPU has about the same IPC as a R 2700x.

 

Heaven is very old and will not take advantage of your extra cores. For smoothness try Superposition or Valley.

I'll try the other benchmarks then.

 

Thanks again!
