Hi all,
 
I just purchased a 1080ti FTW3 and installed it earlier. With everything stock I'm seeing GPU core boosts to 1974 and memory running at 1377. While playing PUBG earlier I noticed that GPUZ was reporting that my GPU Core had dropped to 1961 and under PerfCap Reason it stated VRel and I could see the value maxing out at 1.0620V. The card is staying below 60c with a custom fan curve, with Power Consumption at 105%. 
 
I was wondering if this was normal? Is this just how high my card can keep the boost while staying within the VRel limit of 1.0620V? Am I a little "unlucky" that my card needs this much voltage to reach 1961 on the GPU core? To power the card I used a single PCIE power lead which had two eight pin connectors on it. Would connecting the second eight pin power connector to a separate PCIE power socket on my Corsair HX850i power supply help at all?
 
I ran a the default 3DMark FireStrike test earlier and attained a GPU score of 30 300 which seems about normal from what I can see, is that correct?
 
Appreciate any help or advice.
 
Thanks,

Vrel by itself isn't a problem. Connecting two pci-e cables won't help get rid of the vrel perfcap. 30,300 is a normal gpu score for a 1080 ti.

The GPU won't stay at 1974Mhz close to 60°C temps, I don't know the exact drop-off temps from 1974Mhz but it's impossible to maintain with out-of-the-box settings and raised powertarget for me.
The GPU will stay at 1961Mhz at best with 117% powertarget below 60°C and max fan speed, going beyond 60°C~ makes it drop to a steady 1949Mhz, still a pretty good result though.

The GPU temp has not exceeded 58c while either 3DMark testing or playing PUBG for several hours.

what fan speed was that at ?

All three fans at a constant 50%.

o.o your temps for fan speed sound a lot better then critical hit who at 100% fan speed was having it go above 60
