I know I am contributing,  but this has been happening more frequently, there's no reason to be rehashing this necro thread.

Your card is FINE.  There is nothing wrong with it.  It is boosting way past spec already.  Getting really sick and tired of people posting and complaining about your cards not going even more past spec.  Your card has a 1566 stock clock and a 1670 boost clock, and you are at almost 2000!! and you're complaining you can't get even more?  What is wrong with you.  Seriously.   If you're not happy with the card, return it and someone who will appreciate it more will gladly buy it instead.  These types of posts need to stop already.  Anything you get beyond your boost clock is a gift.  You aren't guaranteed anything else.
 
TIL a card that is almost 230MHZ over spec is a dud.




Yeah on the link below for the card is says "Play longer overclock better"  prob should say "Play longer, boost higher"  Wouldn't consider a 30Mhz OC great.

It has a factory boost clock of 1670, and it's already overclocking itself to almost 2000, that's a 230 Mhz overclock right there, champ.  So please, tell me, what exactly is wrong with that phrasing?  I don't think you're understanding what the boost clock is.  This would be like someone getting a new cpu that self overclocks (boosts) to 5 gig and then complains that they can't push it to 5.2 when the processor itself only has a stock clock of 4.2.  A 30Mhz overclock on an already overclocked chip that is not even a 2% increase in performance from it's overclocked position is within the margin of error.  To complain about it when you already have an almost 20% overclock from your base clock, is ignorant.  If OP wants to overclock even more, get better cooling as others have stated.  As the card is, it's performing perfectly fine and is overclocking great as 2000Mhz is pretty darn good for a non water cooled 1080Ti.  Heck most 1080Ti FTW3's weren't even stable on air.  Just spend some time and read the forums.  2 grand is fantastic.  Anything higher generally needs water.


Hey Champ, boost is different to OC.  I agree cards already boosting quiet high and you can say I'm playing with words but OC is not boost.  OC requires manual intervention, you have paraphrased that above in your example about the CPU, quote (This would be like someone getting a new cpu that self overclocks (boosts) to 5 gig and then complains that they can't push it to 5.2).  
 
Anyways I'm in agreement that these cards are boosting almost to there limits so the OC is going to be viewed by some as medicore.

Yeah, gpu boost takes some of the fun out of overclocking, but if you can find a card pushing out a lot more frames please let me know. I'd love to check it out. I have an ftw3 that can hit 2063-2100 mhz in benchmarks, but 2025 is about the universally stable limit for me in games. It seems like 2050 is basically a brick wall for the vast majority of 1080 ti's out there. It's just not going to get much better than that. That said, I love this card. Benchmarks are interesting and fun, but you're never going to notice much of a difference between the best binned chip and yours beyond a few hundred points on your Time Spy score.

Calm down Ranmacanada.
Not everybody know how GPU Boost 3.0 works on the Pascal cards.
If the person doesn't know it, he have the right to ask/search for the answers.
But no need to get mad about it.

Case: Asus Z370-G Box / MB: Asus Z370-G / CPU: Intel I7 8700K / Mem.: 16GB (2x8) 3000Mhz Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR4 / GPU: GTX 1080TI FTW3 / A.I.O. W.C: EVGA CLC280 / PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA G3 750W
