Nice.

Supposedly, the guys at Overclock.net have found a way to get the Ti to over 2100 Mhz. https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/62r2nc/hes_reached_2100_mhz_oc_on_the_1080_ti_find_out/
 
Interesting read.  

Thanks for that.  Probably won't get around to tinkering with it tonight... but maybe sometime in the next week or so.  Not losing any sleep over a stable 2,076mhz... I'm cool with it.  It does explain though why I'm stable at +165 and crash at +175.  I gotta be hitting 2100.

Yeah, and that explains why my overclock works at +175, because it's not actually reaching +175 because I am limiting the power.

I'm dialed in with both CPU and GPU.  Gonna leave it be.

Damn interesting.  I have been frustrated because I thought my card was doing 2050 pretty solid and today it started crashing at everything above 2000.  Maybe it was a warm day or something.  I played with voltage slider before and even giving an extra 5% caused an instant crash for me.  I seem to be running a little more stable now, and at least not throttling as much.  i am still getting crashes at 2050 and up but not instantly.  This may be the key.  i leaving voltage disabled for now though, because it just brings heat and crashes instantly when I touch it.

What benchmark are you using? 3dMark, or Heaven's Benchmark?

3Dmark has oddly been the more stable of the two, I suppose since it is a bigger power draw and thus the core clock reduces more during the bench/stress test.  Heaven seems to be the one to murder the GPU.  My temps are pretty high and I'm sure that's a roadblock too.  I did re-enable the voltage control and gave it 25% more to work with and now seem to be pretty stable at 2037/1.5V 2050/1.62V but temps are pretty rough even with the fan cranked all the way up.  3560 Cuda cores running full titlt at that speed and voltage are probably just asking for a custom loop.  
 
Custom WC was always in my future plans, but maybe now it'll be in the nearer future.  So far most games don't seem to stress the GPU like Heaven does, and I usually run with vsync enabled so this pretty much seems like a worst case scenarion.  I'm not going anywhere near furmark.  That monster can crash a GPU at stock settings.

I will overclock my Ti just to show what it can do, I do not leave it overclocked when I am gaming. I mean, this card is a power house. (will be for a month or so, until Nvidia releases some TitanXpTi or some ****) But I was playing RE7 @ 4k60FPS Ultra with my steamlink on my downstairs TV. There is 0 reasons to overclock. hahah
 
The only issue I have with the way steam link works is the slight input lag. But if I am just chilling on the couch, I really don't care. lol

Since I'll get added voltage out of the box on the FTW3 I'll start with that.  If that doesn't get me there I will consider giving this a go!
 
Great info in this thread!

Air cooled? No one can meet that clock. Thermal throttling will kick in

After setting up the custom loop I was able to bench at +175/+500 (used to crash over +150 core). Finally broke 9k in time spy.
 
Time Spy - 9,254 (http://www.3dmark.com/spy/1558393)
 
Temps stay around 41*C. It's a beautiful thing :)

I think for GPU intensive stuff you are right.  You might see 2050 or 2037 for a little bit at the beginning, but even with the fan on full speed the GPU wants to settle to 1999 or 1974 to keep temps in the low 80s or below.  Stuff that doesn't use the GPU to the max (under 90%) has a better chance of seeing 2000+ sustained, but I'm not maintaining that without instability over here.  Voltage curve helps, but as I crank voltage heat goes up and I need 100% fan to keep it in check.
 
FWIW my 1080 founders sat at about 2050 during gaming on air, but once I slapped on the hybrid cooler it sits at 2152 indefinitely, and that's with ram at +500.  I didn't even try to push it beyond, but I feel it could do more even.
 
We have 1000 more cores on the Ti though, and that's just not negligible heat.  Without a hybrid or custom water I think touching getting close to 2000 during heavy use is pretty good, and nothing to complain about.  I expect SLI to complicate things more when my second card arrives, but my case can't support **** for water cooling (corsair 600T).  It will cost me hundreds in parts to get any better so that is for down the road.

I am not skilled at overclocking. but i have a hybrid kit on my 1080ti.
 
anyone hear have the same setup? if so, whats a stable OC for you? i have my power set to max, my gpu and mem are +100 each. only because i figured it was as safe as could be. but i would like to get a bit more.

My hybrid setup is +175 core +100 memory +120% power.
 
I can go higher on memory but it pushes me over the power limit and the card throttles down from 2050+ MHz down to 1911...  this setting is what works best.

Man my second card is nothing like my first. 

is asic rating still a thing? what are each of your cards ratings?
 
im surprised peoples OC settings are kinda all over the place. i tried 150 / 300 but wildlands froze after 10 minutes or so. i am back to +100/100 (+120 power) for now until i do some more research.

ASIC isn't available on 1000 series GPUs.  Probably turned out to be a big mess of RMAs with people trying to get better ASICs on the 900 series.
 
I am wondering if nVidia isn't keeping better GPUs for themselves.  My 1080s were both pretty killer.  The one I kept does 2150 with a hybrid cooler in my wife's PC.  The second one was identical in performance.  Same clocks and same volts.  My first EVGA 1070 wouldn't boot some times.  The RMA replacement worked great but was no OC winner.  The 1080 I stepped up to (ACX) could barely make it to 2000.  Not what I expected at all based on my Founder's 1080s from nVidia.
 
Then my nVidia branded 1080 Ti seems like a pretty decent card for the Ti generation, but the EVGA Founders I got is a bummer.  PSU is an AX1200i so I'm sure it isn't power related.
 
Silicon lottery is real for sure, but I'm not so sure nvidia doesn't test cards and brand the highest performers as their own.  This is just an idea I have though.  Not trying to start an unsubstantiated rumor.

i always thought they sold them to evga, msi, gigbayte, etc, by their "asic/bin" quality. meaning those companies can buy better ones (maybe they cost more), knowing their quality. then the manufactures have the ability to use the better ones for their "performance" series cards and the "ok" ones for their reference "cheaper" versions. but then again there are many reference cards from manufactures that OC extremely well. 

Me too, but so far I've never gotten a dud direct from nvidia, and everything else has disappointed.  I'm sure as production goes on though, yields get better and the lame chips thin out.  Strange thing is, the EVGA card runs 7-8 degrees cooler than the nvidia one, even with the much higher voltage.  This was with it being the only one installed, so it's not due to SLI air restriction.
