Hello
 
i have recently upgraded my 1080 ti FTW3 to EVGA RTX 2080 Super FTW3 (driver 445.98) in hope for some performance boost but got a tremendous performance loss (sometime up-to 50%)
My current rig is:
CPU - 9900k @ 4800Mhz (avx -1)@ 1.3v
Mobo - Asus max formula (z390)
Ram - Gskill 32gb CL14 @3200 MHZ (b-die)
SSD - samsung evo plus 1tb
PSU - Phanteks 1200 Revo X (basically seasonic)
CAse - phanteks 719
**All water coolled by 2x480 rads
Monitor  - Aourus FI27Q-P (@165hz 10-bit via DP1.4)
 
So i have tested the new card in both games and benches. here are some results:
Destiny 2, tower location drop to 50fps (around 100FPS on 1080ti at 1900mhz)
Metro Exodus - drop to45-50 fps (around 75-90FPS on 1080ti)
Doom eternal (max settings)  max 130, drops to 60 and below (stable 110-120 fps on 1080ti)
 
From card working perspective:
1 benchmarks do draw more power but the result is till lower for this card (setup)
2 some games laod gpu 100% but the power draw is at 150w
note, the PSU is  fully functional (it was running 1080ti in this rig with more than 250w power draw on average gaming)
3 The card triggers volt limit at stock and any variations of  voltage dial
4 the coil whine  in games is horrible, in benches it some how less disturbing
5 pwr5 sensor under laod and at idle showing 7-8 deg more than other pwr sensors.
6 some games even with 200+ (Metro eg.) power draw still show very low fps
 
Please i need assistance with my issue, is there some setting i am missing, or it is just and RMA issue.
To me there is seem to be some issue with power for GPU. (Not a  PSU issue). and yes all tested in OC bios.
As for overclocking. this card can not go pas 2020mhz - crashes. again it maybe due to power issues.

That mobo should be able to identify the card. My guess is that there is an issue with power regulation. If I were in your shoes I would set the CPU back to the default speed and then see if the card is recognized. If it is properly recognized you'll need to setup your overclock again a little at a time until you reach speed you want.

Back to my concerns.
Can some one clearly explain what is Volt lim trigger actually showing and what should or should not be done to avoid it.
Tried down volting card to 0.975v with 1900MHZ and still hitting volt lim.
 
Second is coil wine. basically it ruins the concept of a water cooled GPU. as with fans running at 700 idle and max 1000rpm (when CPU gets loaded as well) i still clearly hear it through the thick tempered glass of a case standing half of meter away from my ears.

It means that it can't boost higher at the present voltage.  It wants more voltage to boost higher.  Less voltage is counter productive.

There is a way to make the voltage limit read 0, but it doesn't affect your clocks either way. Both of my superposition 8k optimized runs ended at 2040 mhz at the end of the run no matter what the voltage limit was hitting. 1 or 0 made no difference.

Fixes for coil whine...
 
#1 Put glue on the noisy coils. Only works if coils are exposed. Will void warranty if done.
#2 Run ati tool overnight to burn the card in. Click show 3d view to start ati render test.
#3 Increase/decrease voltage on the card.
#4 Use frame rate limiter software to limit fps in game to reduce whine.
#5 Try a different psu.
#6 Try a different motherboard.
#7 RMA the card.

Use google chrome to open the images in a new tab. One is hitting the limit while the other isn't.

It's safe to run. No settings need to be changed just run it as it is.

Here is short video a of a coil whine i get while running  ati tiool as suggested.

To be fair, you're running 5K-6K+ in FPS. lol!  Keep it around 120 and under to possibly see a decrease on coil whine.

at 120 fps this tool is loading gpu to 25% only there is no coil whine  at this level of load. (even at 165) the card is not boostin to stock clocks. so...
 
here is  gameplay run on graphics card. (the cranking sound is when i open the case door to hear the whine and how it is changing)

On what?

1. Not a big deal imo as long as your card is working, and performing like it should.
2. Guess you'll need to rma.

At 2200+mhz my Kingpin sounds like it's going to explode but I just send it.

Hello again
Just received and installed replacement sample  ( was no problem to return that back). And i got to say the difference is quite noticeable in terms of coil whine, temperatures and overclock.
 
So first. Coil whine has reduced  greatly. barely can hear it  through  tempered glass window of a nearby standing  PC.
 
Second. Temperatures are 5-7deg lower under load compared to previous sample. ( cooling loop and fan setting has not been changed since previous sample installation). Readings of extra 9 temp sensors located on board report more even values than before.  Under load max temperatures reach 44-45 deg on GPU and around 40-41 on VRMs and Mem. The only concern here is ICX PWR5 sensor reporting 10 degrees more than other PWM sensors. (so under load around 51-53). 
Idle. all temps are around 28-30 deg. and ICX PWR5 : 39deg 
 
Can some one from EVGA team point out what is that sensor for and which component temperature it is referring to.? 
Thanks in advance.
 
Last but not least. out of the box card runs @2020mhz core (no OC applied) which is higher than specified (factory clock + NV boost = 1980MHZ) at 1,03v.
The card easily got to 2100Mhz core and 8950MHZ memory at 1,037v with no volt limit triggering like it was before
Haven't pushed the limits of the card yet. still in process of checking the performance and comparing  to my previous results.

hmm
