RTX 2080 not hitting max power target

[leyo96]

Hello,

I'm overclocking my Asus RTX 2080 Dual OC and first thing I did was to set max power target in Precision X1.

I'm using Unigine heaven Benchmark

 

Although the max power target is 120% the actual power used is 95/106% most of the times, it never goes higher and in the hardware monitor it's always hitting the power limit and then dropping back.

Voltage limit is constantly at max.

 

Why isn't the card reaching max power target?

 

Base clock is 1905 Mhz, I set +160 but goes to 2055 (+150) and after a while drops to 2040 (+135) even with the stock memory clocks, why?

 

Temps are at 63C with fans at 62%

 

Thanks for the help

Is your power supply a high enough wattage?

650W, It is enough for a I7 8700k at 5.1Ghz 1.4V and a RTX 2080

bro welcome to my world, i havce a 8700k at 5ghz and a msi trio 2080 that hits 2055/2040 and im voltage limited too not power limited
i contacted msi and they said thats how some of the cards are there not all power limited
its a difference in silicon some requir less volts but more power and the other way around

hitting 2055/2040 is already great, it's very rare for an air-cooled card to go beyond 2055.

Paid 650€, the trio is 850€ in italy lol.

2055Mhz core and 7750Mhz memory not too bad.

I run at around 63C in game, but with sys fan + gpu fans at around 60%

Yours definetely looks better!!
