GPU Bottlenecking

[BluMtnDew]

Just recently upgraded to a 2080ti from a 1070 and haven't been noticing much better performance. Running benchmarks and stress tests shows the GPU throttling at 60 Degrees consistently trying to overclock using software such as MSI afterburner and Asus GPU Tweak. In all games and all benchmarking programs like Kombuster and FurMark show the temps instantly spike up and hold very consistently to 60 Degrees, while the clocks throttle and FPS drops. Cant seem to find any reason why the GPU would thermal throttle at such a low temperature, unless there's some other bottleneck factor I haven't considered. My only thoughts are my power supply might not be enough for the GPU, or since I have a custom cooling loop on the GPU, it does not detect any fans (As MSI afterburner and GPU Tweak show 0% fan speed. The actual cooling fans are powered by a hub and the High Amp motherboard 4-pin) and throttles to protect itself. Any advice would be helpful.

fullhd is mostly cpu bottleneck these days,   4k is where ul notice the big changes from a 1070 to a 2080ti

Check your temp limit and make sure it is set to somewhere around 83 degrees. Also I have had problems with Asus GPU Tweak, so I suggest using Afterburner and uninstalling GPU Tweak.

The limit is set to 88. Im only using afterburner now, I just had no luck with GPU Tweak

If the gpu wasn’t enough you’d find out in a game. 

 

But id assume cpu. My 8700k barely handles a gtx 1080. So I’d just play a game and monitor usage of everything and go from there.
