 Using EVGA Precision or MSI Afterburner the same thing happens.
 
The fan curves work up until I hit about 71-73c, then the fans go from say 70% all the way to max. The gui readouts say the fans are still at 70%, but you can the see fan RPMS are capped. Once this happens it's like the fan curves just don't matter anymore until the temp drops back down a few degrees, but listening to the fans go from 70-100-70 every other second is maddening.
 
I am using the 481.91 drivers on a 2080 TI XC ULTRA

adjust the "Temperature Hysteresis" to stop the constant changes you mention
 
hysteresis = 5 would cause the fans to stay at their set point until temp drop through the set point by 5C
 
If curve is 50C = 70% then with 5 as hysteresis value --> the temp would have to drop below 45C before the fan would change
 
What is the fan curve you are using ?
 
fan update period: 1000 ms = 1 second --> you could increase this to 6000 as a test (6 seconds per update / refresh)
 
(as you see in attached photo I run a very aggressive curve)

So it's not quite as annoying upping the hysteresis, but it still doesn't explain why once I hit about 70C the fans are pegged out at 3500 RPM.

Even if I manually set the fans to 85%, the same thing happens, the card hits the low 70s and the card just overrides the fan settings and throttles at 100% RPM even though the interface is still showing fans at 85%.
 
Something is completely off, here is where things get even more wacky.
First screenshot, fans manually set to 100% while below 70c, second screenshot fans manually set to 85% below 70c, third screenshot fan still manually set to 85% but now at 71C.

Don't bother with fan settings in this software, they are broken. I've been trying to create a usable fan curve for hours and gave up at the end. Temperature hysteresis function and fan speed update period don't do anything - I had temp hysteresis at 10C and the fan speed still kept changing for every small change in temp. The fan graph is also broken - no matter how you set the curve the software will still randomly increase the fan speed sometimes, only to drop back a second after.

Have you called this into support? It's pissing me off now, the fans at 3500 RPM are so loud I cannot hear anything else without cranking up the volume on the speakers way too loud. This didn't happen all the time, I suspect of one of the nVidia driver updates did this. It looks like for me there is a build in cap now at 70c, anything beyond that the fan immediately goes to 3500RPM.

Might just use a Hybrid cool kit for the GPU and be done with this nonsense.

Hybrid kit is noisier than the stock kit when idle. They all have a buzzing noise. It's annoying compared to the 1080 hybrid coolers.

Ahh good to know...I might cave and just use a external cooling solution, going to have the sell the CLC on the CPU though :(

I'd continue using the CLC on the CPU and use a separate cooler for the GPU if possible. You'll appreciate the lower temps.
 
**I just noticed what CPU you are using. I'd scrap the water cooling all together and pickup a new CPU/MOBO/Ram if you can. At 1440p/144FPS my 8700k was bottlenecking my GPU usage with certain games at 120+ FPS. I had to get a 9700k to fully unleash the GPU.  Either way, happy fragging :)

My sig is so out of date there, I have to redo the whole thing just been lazy, actually running a 4790K atm.

It's because the clocks are irrelevant to the discussion and when he effectively said "here, this is what I recommend" to the user, he didn't want to be misconstrued as recommending a certain overclock since every card overclocks differently.

A forum mod is just a person like you or me (but probably above average emotional stability) who volunteers to help. The mod is not an EVGA employee, not paid by EVGA, and not given secret EVGA features or confidential information or hardware.
