MSI GTX 1080 Ti Gaming X 2000MHz?

[partymarty]

Hello,

 

I've heard many stories lately of people hitting 2000~2100MHz with a Msi gtx 1080ti gaming x, so I tried to hit something near that speed.

However I can't get anything higher than +145MHz coreclock and +550MHz memory clock in afterburner.

GPU-z tells me that my max boost clock with that overclock is 1803MHz... So, nowhere near the 2000MHz many people reach on their gtx 1080ti gaming x.

Am I doing something wrong? Is this just a "bad" overclock card/did I lose the sillicone lottery? Or am I reading something wrong?

 

Because the people who say their boost clock hits 2GHz are having somewhat the same overclock settings in MSI afterburner.

My temps max out at 74 degrees C.

I will add the gpu-z and afterburner screenshots!

 

Set up:

Intel Core i7-6700k 4.5GHz

Corsair H100i v2

Asus z170 pro gaming

2x8 GB ddr4 Kingston 2133MHz

700W be quiet Straight power PSU

NZXT S340 Elite

 

I'm really sorry if I'm asking very stupid questions.

Thanks in advance for every reply!

 

Kind regards.

At 74C it'll be throttling and lowering clocks. Try a higher fan speed. Also try an OC using the steps (Ctrl+F) to lower temps

Even with the fan at max it will not boost over 1803 MHz. What do you mean with "Also try an OC using the steps (control+F) to lower temps?

Hmm it also seems that my gpu is ignoring my msi afterburner fan curve. I've set it to 100% and it still stops spinning below 65 degrees

You might just be unlucky, although that gpu will blow away games either way. You could try increasing core voltage

how come nobody noticed so far?
those clocks are not accurate m8,gpu boost 3 bumps those higher under load...
go to the sensor tab in gpu z and look at the clock under load there

 

edit: here check mine  

it boosts to 2050mhz under load,the boost clock here is only accurate with no gpu boost

[partymarty]

Let's see. My HWmonitor pro shows 1898 as max clock. GPU-z shows (in the sensor tab) 1885. I'm testing it with Kombustor. I should install Unigine Heaven, and see what happens in there

I've done some more testing, and you were right. It did hit 2ghz now!

Thanks a lot for the information.
