I notice when i am running the benchmark my card will throttle down from 2000mhz to 1987mhz at this current setting on the pic, my temp target on my GPU is 90c but when i see it reach at 52c it goes down to 1987mhz, could this be that my power and memory temps are throttling me down? i dont see a temp target for those.
 
power temp 52c and memory 53c when i get from 2000mhz to 1987mhz

The card isn't throttling. It's dynamically adjusting. True thermal throttling starts at 93c on the 1080 ti. Shutdown temp on the 1080 ti is at 96c.

Guys i didn't want to make another thread but i notice on my new 1080ti ftw3 there is a temper sticker on the top, i was thinking of changing the thermal paste to a better one.

Breaking the seal on the sticker that says evga all over it won't void the warranty.

ok another thing, how come i see people using heaven benchmark instead of valley since valley is newer???
