I have a bit of an odd situation here. I do distributed computing and run the card at 60% power and get range of 1485-1515 mhz and 54C during computing. The clock goes up to around 1875mhz when I give it 100% power (over 2000mhz when I give it 130%).
 
When I start any game (after suspending all GPU computation) at any power level the clock is locked at 1350mhz at 35C and I get between 20-40 fps.
 
I do have an older 1060 in the system that ranges from 135-1835mhz and 48-51C at 100% power. It's able to run games at 60fps with minimal issues (depending on detail levels).
 
What could be causing this? Do I need to reflash the BIOS? I use MSI Afterburner to control both cards.
 
As I wrote this the card is functioning normally while computing.
 

Run GPU-Z and see how much power it's actually taking .
Just an idea before one of the" experts " comes along and starts insulting me for trying to help

That's low .
Is that max power ?
Precision screen would be helpful .
What bios is it ?

BIOS is right .
My last card was an FTW3 ultra and that would run at +180 core and +1500 memory @130% power .
Something going on there.

What model monitor are you using .
Why are you playing games on 1080p @ 60 Hz?
My 1080p is 240hz and I'll get those FPS easily with any game .
Are the FPS locked on your monitor to 60 ?
Just look under resolution.

When I had FTW3, I tried the XOC bios .
That sped things up a bit .
Although I don't think you need the XOC to run 60fps on a tv of all things.

Your monitor or in your case , your tv .
Get a proper gaming monitor and try that
What do you have set in resolution and FPS in Nvidia
I'm out of here .

When prefer maximum performance is turned on the card sits at 1350 in games (and machine idle with computation suspended) at 100% power. When it's set at adaptive at bounces between 350-500 in games (and machine idle with computation suspended) as the new idle speed at 100% power.
 
The card has been crunching all night and floats between 1835-1900 at 60% power. This seems to be normal for the card during computing. When I up the power to 100% the card sits at a flat 1950. I can add to the core speed but adding too much results in computation errors. I run the card at 60% so it doesn't burn up.

Does this issue also occur when running the unigine superposition benchmark on the 8k perset?

I know the card itself won't burn up but there is a 1060 right below it (about 1/4") and together they will burn up. The 1060 is running at 100% and 55C while the 2080ti is at 60% power and 55C (steady). Could probably go into the 60s for temps but the system is up 24/7. The CPU isn't a heat factor since the overkill cooler keeps it in the low 40s and helps blow air out the back.
 
I tried pushing it to see how fast it could compute and it got into the 80s. A little too warm for my taste.
 
Unfortunately I haven't run the unigine superposition benchmark. Think I've seen it on either Linus Tech Tips or JayzTwoCents on Youtube. I'll download that tonight and play around with it tomorrow after work.

Why would you pay the money for a 2080ti and run it to a TV ?
I really don't understand .
When people invest in a good GPU , they normally get a monitor that can accommodate the card .
I really think this is a wind up thread , just to waste peoples time.

I ran the benchmarks in the following order: 1080p medium DirectX, 1080p extreme DirectX and 1080p high OpenGL. The OpenGL had a far better quality image and DirectX seemed a little grainy. All have been run with 130% power, +100 voltage, +16 to core clock and fans at static 100%.  The card was allowed to cool down for a few min between each benchmark.
Here is the result of the medium benchmark:

The card stayed at a pretty solid 1950mhz after starting at 2010mhz. This is all while connected to my 60hz TV. I can post the other results if needed but apparently my card wants to be a sloth in games. High scored at 12912 and extreme scored at 8898 (it throttled towards the end). I didn't do 4K or 8K since I don't think my TV supports those resolutions.

Then your problem is due to running games at low resolution/lower details. Gpu boost 4.0 isn't allowing the card to fully clock up because full clocks aren't needed. A workaround for the issue would be to do this... https://forums.evga.com/FindPost/2897251

Ok all I did was update my drivers to 442.19 and the issue is solved. It runs at all FPS levels in the game and is back at 60fps and doing fine. I ran the benchmark again and got a 300 point improvement which I think is a margin of error. I'm not very experienced in overclocking but it seems fine to me. I was going to try locking the voltage in MSI Afterburner if the new drivers didn't improve anything.

The title screens got a laughable 3500fps/.5ms frame time but they're just white on black.
 
Not that it matters now but I tried putting my card into a friend's computer and the issue never happened (he also uses a 60hz TV). Put the card back in my computer and it happened again.

This GPU is overkill for 1080p 60hz screens so you'll never see it run at full load usually.  If you want to see it sweat, you'll need either 1440p 120hz/144hz or 4K 60hz/120hz on a demanding triple AAA game.

Glad you're overall happy with it.
