RTX 2080ti Results in HEAVEN Benchmark

[LexenZ]

Hi everyone,

 

So before i start to refund this GALAX GeForce® RTX 2080Ti SG Edition, I just want to ask everyone's opinion on the card below. 

http://www.galax.com/en/graphics-card/20-series/2080ti-series/galax-geforce-rtx-2080ti-sg-edition.html

 

I was only looking at 1700Mhz of overclocking capability with fan speed at 60%

Memory clock was impossible (Don't know why).

 

Performance gains from what i see with my card before (GTX 1080 xtreme by Gigabyte) wasn't that huge as well.

So yep.... What do you guys/ladies think about the card's performance? Should i just give it a full refund? 

 

PS: I am using a 1440p 165hz monitor, just wanna see 80-100fps in most games.

Try open GPU-Z and check PerfCapReason in Sensors tab. 

 

Also why the clock speed bouncing up and down before the benchmark started? Are you on multi monitor setup?

Hi there Acid,

 

Thanks for the reply.

As requested below, no issues with pwr i guess? Apologies i don't use GPUZ.

 

As for the clock speed bouncing up and down its because i started the benchmark late so no load was injected apologies.

Same games for the one below.

First off high end 2080 tis like 5ghz plus CPUs for low res benches. Test at 1440p with your CPU.

 

My FTW3 Ultra without an overclock dose 5913 at 235fps in the same test. With the power target at 100% it averages 99%

With an overclock and the power limit all the way up it does 6151 at 244fps.

 

Check the power percentage graph on MSI Afterburner. If it is not reaching the power limit set(112) you have a bottleneck.

 

Heaven uses one core of the CPU so that core has to be powerful to get a good score.

Hi there Jones,

 

So for your first solution as of below:

 

 

With regards to your card, you are getting a FTW3 ultra with boost clock of 1755mhz already while mine its in the 1545mhz.

My overclock was already increased by 500mhz from base which was only 1350mhz.

So i am guessing what i paid is what i get? Hahahha ($1640 SGD for this card).

 

For the power graph, i am seeing only at about 100 range during benchmarking as of below. I not sure why it is not at 112%?

 

Edit: So ummm i took a look at the Unlock Voltage control options: I selected "third party" as of other types which are 1) Reference, 2)Standard MSI, 3)Extended MSI and 4) Third party, So generally i thought mine was none of the 3 options which i selected third party instead. Is that option correct?

 

Hope the above clarifies.

So, I decided to give Galax's own tuner software to test the card itself.

 

As of below it actually works fine for now! 

I am not sure why afterburner wasn't pushing the limits for this card. Was able to push the card to 1800-2000mhz range for the "XTREME TUNER" software.

 

So in conclusion i guess whatever software the brand throws at you, just... use it? Hahaha

I use EVGA's Precision X1 for over clocks and MSI Afterburner for on screen info. For overclocking I don't lake After burner at all.

You are close enough to 112%. If you lower the anti aliasing to 4x or 0 you should be at 112% on the bench.

 

You are still being held back by your CPU.  I also have a computer with an EVGA XC 2080 ti that has closer performance to your GALAX.

Even stock it will beat your score since it is paired with a 5gz CPU.

Here is what it looks like stock and overclocked.

 

If you run benches at higher resolutions you will meet then beat my EVGA XC scores.

I see, i am surprised you can run both at all because the Galax can't seem to be turned on while afterburner is opened. Therefore i had only GPUZ to monitor the core clocks.

For this, the MSI afterburner doesn't seem to lock in the 112% that the card offers, so i switched back to the Galax's Xtreme Tuner Plus software instead and got a better result as of what i have shown previously.

I see, noted of this my CPU currently is overclocked to 4.3GHZ only. So yea... heehee

Noted, i am trying to run the same thing as the rest to see how good this Galax card really is.

So far, the cooling performance is not that great as the "auto" settings doesn't seem to be auto at all (I don't even know when is the setting auto or manual lol).  But, its a price i paid for to be that cheap in the first place lol.

I was given this card and the Zotac AMP Extreme Core option, however, the Zotac AMP Extreme Core has a $300 SGD increase in price tag from the Galax. I am sure that the Zotac can offer a steady cooling option and hold onto the overclocked clocks for a longer period. But i am unsure that is that worth the $300 price tag? That's my main question.

 

 

So as of below are my recent results

 

Above is additional overclocked of +230mhz with zero overclock to the memory and with the fans at 70%

 

 

Above is additional overclocked of +232mhz core clock and memory overclocked of +200mhz with the fans at 65%

 

 

 

I will still continue to run the tests to see what is the limit of this card. I feel that its promising but the longevity of the cooling is a mystery.
