nice score. I bet you could get more out of your 9900k.

thats because intel ipc hasn't changed or improved significantly in 10 ~years. AKA Skylake + + + + + + + + + + + 
 
The last IDC I ever went to was for core 2 duo. That was an impressive year for intc. first gen core was also impressive 6 core i7s ect. Sandy bridge was awesome and then they regressed to quad core smt mainstream for like a decade. Thinking about it is depressing. Its probably looking like 2022 intel we see something intriguing.
 
If AMD cant beat intel IPC skylake +++++++ ipc this year im just going to pony up for a 9990K or a golden 7980xe

You're better off winning the lottery than finding a golden sample 7980xe to delid lol

Yeah that's what I did, bought a 7980xe and a copper lid then delidded myself and put on copper lid. Copper lid plus Heatkiller IV Pro Pure copper water block doesn't get much better than that.

So the only way out is a better CPU then.

IT sounds like you are expecting to see 400watts + average through the card while gaming. I am not sure why you would want to do that to the silicon daily for hours. Frame times are good and so if perf in Metro without torturing the KPE. Metro is single player as well so IDK WHY?
 
Why do you want this?

The answer #1 is NO 2080TI with stock bios approved by NVIDIA is going to drive an average wattage of 375-400 through the card perpetually at ambient.
The answer #2 is everyone else has spent 4 weeks of tuning to get to where they are at.
 
The approved algorithms do not permit this. 
 
The load dictates the power pull. Run the Power Virus if you want to see what the real limits are if you are not interested in finding sweet spots at voltage and clocks.
 
The end goal for my self is to drive the most perf out of the least amount of power utilization at ambient. My current goal is to drive the highest level of performance out of the card for benching. Regardless of peak wattage.

I remove myself from further response to FROSTYBE3R. Your expectations on power draw and RTX perf our out of alignment with reality.

Still capped at 360W, doesn't even hit that infact, using curve + classified tool.
 

What is that? A benchmark? Game I'm guessing?

It's just the menu screen. :)

Metro Exodus menu screen with OSD in upper left corner but cant be read.

Games wont pull max power from the card. That's why I've always experianced max clock that dont drop due to power limit. Just sticks and stays put when you take temp out of the equation with a water block.. that's how it was for my 1080/1080ti/2080ti ftw3 and prob be the same for the kingpin whenever I finally get around to gaming again.

Though prob be closer using 4k res. I'm at 1440 ultra wide.. can hook the 40" samsung for 4k gaming if wanted. Or whatever it's called to up the res (DSR)??

hrm. Ok I will try to not be childish. Just frustrated after putting 4 weeks into tuning and learning with everyone else on the thread and then to try to help newer owners only to hear nonsense in return.  Although my understanding of this is stuff is nowhere near mastery I am somewhat grounded in expectation and the performance I have tuned out of the card demonstrates some level of competence with the hardware. Imagine how EVGA feels. Like they sold a ferrari to a teenager as their first car.
 
520 watts is meme level amounts of power at ambient and to think a gaming load would draw that level of power is literally dangerous. Someone call the fire marshal types of ridiculousness. 
 
People say the 9900k @ 250 watts is insanely hot and close to impossible to cool. Yet 520watts on Turing should be easy?  This stuff breaks my tiny often dehydrated and carb deprived hamster brain

I spent the same amount of money you did on this card(if not more due to currency conversion) I should be allowed to complain a little when I get a poorly binned chip.

Lol.

Your card did fine.. just tested mine and it's like 50-80 points less then yours. Different cpu as I'm on a 9900k at 5.2ghz. Like 14275.

Yeah a 9900K at 5.2GHz is definitely gonna get more fps than this, I was just on 4.4GHz using a U12A cooler lol.

Haha edited mine above. Dumb phone auto corrected my words. Tried to say less then yours. My top was 14275.

Quick shot at 8k and scored 6118.
