Runs around 45c now at 124% PL. Hybrid cooler is a fantastic product. Put two Noctua Industrial fans in push-pull and used Noctua NT-H2 TIM. Changed bios BTW. Clocks I am still working on, but at +190, +800 right now and stable. Runs btwn 2050-2100MHz sometimes higher. I can get +1000 on memory in some benchmarks and +200Mhz just depends on the benchmark. Superposition score seems decent, the best I got before was 12900. I added pictures of the factory TIM on the original cooler, it did not cover the entire surface as it should, but my temps were not bad before either at the 112% PL. The 124% bios PL put it up into the 70's so I decided to get the hybrid cooler. I highly recommend this cooler. Many posts regarding temps on 2080 ti's could be solved with this. Also, very happy with the Black version of this card at $999. Seems capable enough.
I just added a pic of the idle temps.
Added Port Royal benchmark.

Just to clarify...YOur getting 45c at what idle? or full load?? If the latter, those noctuas gotta be some crazy static pressure fans then because even with my setup with a corsair ML fan pushing and the EVGA pulling, I still hit mid to upper 50's while gaming. Benching can hit 60 PLUS......
 

Idle is around 30, 45 on benchmarks. Superposition shows the temp in the picture. Port Royal was the same. I was getting 60's on air at the 112% PL, the 124% PL is why I got the hybrid cooler. Here are the fans: https://noctua.at/en/nf-f12-industrialppc-2000-ip67-pwm , plus Noctua TIM.
My ambient temp is around 20c, case is Corsair 750D airflow. I have 3 Noctua 140 3000rpm industrials as case fans and 2 more on the cpu cooler, plus 1 more of the 120's beside the hybrid radiator on top. It breathes well. Custom fan curves are a must otherwise it sounds like a jet engine, but at full speed it self cleans the case of dust - JK. What benchmark are you getting 60 plus in?

Well just ran heaven benchmark for like 20 minutes... Temp on my GPU was 59-60C max. Took the side panel off and it dropped to 57. Temp in my office is 75F/24C 
I do have the smaller 450D, so maybe that has something to do with it but my case fans are exhausting pretty cool air so don't know if that makes a huge difference. I didn't replace the stock Tim on the Hybrid plate but don't think that would yield me the crazy 15C difference you are seeing. 
I will try Superposition though and see what I get.
 
Would u be willing to run Heaven and post a pic of your temps as that would be appreciate. But seems like u hit the silicone lottery with that card...congrats!

Thanks for testing bro... I posted in another thread and got some ideas on air flow. Ended up swapping my top 3 fans as intake and it actually dropped my temps 5c! Still hitting 55c in heaven. U got some good cooling in that case of yours!

WOW! Noctua fan is pretty legit! Heaven benchmark went from 57-60C down to 51-52C with adding the one fan. Pretty crazy drop in temp. This Noctua has some good static pressure and works awesome as a radiator fan! Thanks OP!

Now the Hybrid cooler is installed it is like a different card altogether. No longer does it throttle, it runs like a dream.

Yep - this is indeed a poor coverage issue from the factory
 

is this also happening on others models besides black?

what I need to understand now is if this also happens in higher end models like ftw3 for example. or is it more common with the lower end models?

All factory TIM is hit or miss. I have bought graphics cards from before the Kepler days. The price does not mean that someone took care with the TIM application. I would hope that cards like the KP would have better quality controls but who knows. Taking off the cooler and applying a good TIM is normal for me. It is not hard and I like messing with things anyway. The black card is a good buy. I am hanging with the top cards on benchmarks. It all comes down to keeping the card under 50c.

from what I am reading, seems very hard to achieve those temperatures with a black model unless someone does modify it like shown here. I am not skilled to do this and would not consider it due to fear of damaging something.
 
so, from what you say, no point to consider a "better" model based on early assumptions regarding heat dissipation?
