After missing 3+ months of in stock notifications I finally snagged a $999 2080 Ti Black edition yesterday, yippee!! I was debating about a complete rebuild but it does not seem like replacing my 6700k with a newer CPU would make much difference in gaming at 4K, at least according to most test sites.
I put a 2080 Ti in my 4770K system which was built in February of 2014. A 4770K is sufficient for 60 fps gaming, and even though my processor is six years old, I don't have any plans to build a new system any time soon. I suppose we'll see what happens after new consoles appear next year, as some think they will.

I'm debating to pair my 2080ti black with a 9700k. It'll be 8 cores, but not as crazy$ as the 9900k, and its newer/faster than the 8700k. This will be a gaming build only.
but I may as well wait for Intel's 10core CPU this year; or intel's 10nm in 2020? decisions...

As far as I know, a 4770K is sufficient for modern games as long as 60 fps is the target. That's what I have my 2080 Ti paired with. The question is, just how many cores can the latest console ports fully utilize if one is wanting higher framerates? Are games fully utilizing 8 cores? Are there games that utilize more than 8 cores?

My card has arrive and after getting it in my loop and having Temps never above 52c I can't get the card to hold clocks higher than 1785mhz or so when gaming at 4k. The card got a 195mhz oc with the scanner and will do 2010 to 2085 in less demanding scenarios like playing at 1080p or really old games like the borderlands enhanced edition releases the other day, but in anything resembling what this cars was built to do ( 4k / demanding gaming) it falls on its face and it downclocks like crazy due to what the tools says is power limit and there's no way to get past that with this card.
It won't even hold 1v always at like .965v or so.
I really wish I hadn't gone with the card and just sprang the difference for a proper 300a card but I saw story's on here about people bei g so happy with their cards and them hitting 2ghz out of the box all they had to do was slap a water block on it and they were getting numbers that rivaled much mod expensive cards.
Well from what I've gathered every single 300A card can hold at the very least 1900-2000mhz and some even make it it 2100mhz with some bios help but there's no option for me tk squeak a little more out of my card and it's no where near the numbers I was expecting. I would have been Hella happy to even pull 1900mhz and I'm over 100mhz below even that.

Just wanted to share what a great card this has turned out to be. Picked one up @ microcenter for $999 and put an EKWB on it in my custom loop.
Memory benches as high as +1200, running +950 24/7
Core benches as high as 2100Mhz, running ~2070Mhz 24/7 (+215).
Here is one of my bench runs:
In all I am very pleased, as I have been with every eVGA product.
Mine took a +195 pc as well but it never holds those initial clocks when ski g anything that's really demanding. I may see 2050mhz when running at 1080p but the minute I go try the same game at 4k (and I'm speaking to demanding AAA titles like SOTTR or Division 2) the power limit kicks in and the card down clocks to high hell (should say low hell) and I end up gaming at around 1765mhz for the majority of my playtime. Is this not true of your card as well? When you say your getting these numbers at what resolution did you get them and did you take time to confirm they actually stay that way?

This is scaring me. The entire reason I spent way more than I've ever spent on a GPU for the 2080 Ti is that I now have a large 4K display, and needed to get the maximum performance possible. Regardless of resolution, high settings and a vsync-locked minimum framerate are important to me. I went with the Black because I didn't see any reason to pay 20%+ more for what I assumed was a far smaller increase in performance. I have even specifically asked, at least once, in this forum whether or not it is possible for a card to undergo speed throttling when the temperature is well under the thermal limit, and I never got an answer. I for one would appreciate it if you would report back here after contacting EVGA. I haven't yet ran any newer games, nor have I specifically monitored my clocks while stress testing or gaming, but I am definitely going to do that now.

After playing around with settings and resetting all clock to stock it soon became apparent whether I ran it stock or at max power voltage and 195+ core I end up in the same situation once im actually playing at 4k and shooting for a 60+ fps. The card in both scenarios ends up around ~1780mhz and doesn't matter what I change to power limit kicks in at 4k and sends the core speed falling from the ~2ghz it was showing during oc scanner and/or 1080p gaming (Division 2 and Destiny 2 both were tested).
I decided to just return card. With what I paid for it and what I can get an actual proper 2080ti it's only an extra $90. That is definitely worth it to me to not have the stress of this card potentially being its own bottleneck.
I don't need the card to give me crazy oc's I just want it to be on level with all other cards and hopefully have saved me a little money sadly it has done neither.
Sucks too, because I can tell the chip has plenty of potential but the BS BIOS restrictions on the 300(non)A card makes it basically bottlenecked in what is its most obvious application (4K).
It'll take some time and I'll be without a card for several days if not weeks but I think it's worth it to have some flexibility and overhead to play with why spend thousands on a sweet custom hard tube loop you spent literally weeks building and bending to have a card like this be the weak point.

Has anyone tried overclocking this card with afterburner? I ask cause px1 limited my voltage and overclock with my 2080ti ftw3.. I could only use a max of 1.050v with px1.
With afterburner I can lock the voltage to 1.093v and get 2205mhz.
Just set the fans in px1 to a static speed and close px1. Then open up ab. Use the curve overclock (control key + f I think) and select the dot that corresponds to the voltage you want and raise it to the clock you want. Hit apply and test.
Point is I think its px1 thats limiting the card maybe.

Oh yes I started with ab then switched to x1 thinking it might help when it didn't I removed it did clean driver install and put ab back. The results were the same no matter what I did to the curve the card would hit its 2000-2100mhz speeds fine and voltage would go above 1.0v when at 1080p but the minute I put it at 4k or anything demanding the card would hit power limit then drop voltage below 1.0v pushing clocks down to what was basically stock boost numbers and that's where it would stay.

Is there a certain utilization level at which this limiting kicks in?

Yiu would think the card saying like 95 to 98 percent usage would be what the real factor is but I'm pretty sure even in a 1080p situation it's still well up there and around the same utilization I noticed at 1440p it's a 50/50 chance it'll down clock as I move around the world but 4k it's 100 percent chance it will 1080p doesn't seem to ever trigger it as far as I've seen but I can do a little more testing tonight. Either way I'm pretty sure I saw usage to be around max in each scenario of only slightly lower at the lower resolution. I would definitely think it's usage that causes it to trigger but I'll have to double check.

If this is true, I am not happy at all, as I can no longer just return my card. I am almost positive that the minimum price difference between the Black and the other versions was a lot more than $90 when I bought mine, but I would pay that difference if it meant getting a card that doesn't throttle for no legitimate reason. C'est la Vie.

It was a minimum of $150 to go to the next which was the XC Black. Not worth it in my book but thats just me plus, these OC's mean nothing for real time gaming unless one's into OCing every inch of their GPU.

The problem is there is definitely a 7 to 10 fps gain at minimum to be had from going from 1780mhz to around 2ghz at 4k and at 4k this can be the difference in maintaining a solid 60fps and not. Also because it's constantly power throttling the frame rate isn't stable which leads to a much worse experience than if it would just hold a slightly lower clock and a stable albeit slightly lower fps. Myself and many others are more sensitive to a unstable frame rate than a lower fps. Literally the only way to keep this card happy at 4k would be to lock it with vsync at 30 fps or lower resolution to 1080p or just lower in game settings til it doesn't constantly bounce off power limit.
Any of these situations is really not acceptable in a 1000+ card today and maybe your results will be different but for me it's just not going to work. If I could even keep it at stock speeds and have it not power throttle all the time I would but it doesn't matter what I do to card its going to bounce all over the 17 to 1800mhz speed no matter what oc or "extra" headroom I give it. It's just not cut out for 4k.
Sucks because my 1080ti's I gave up held 1.093v without issue and had a solid boost speed that stayed locked to what the card could handle about 2050mhz.
It was actually a more reliable consistently stable fps that ran basically same as this card with only an adjustment to a few settings in game. And when sli actually worked in games (which to be fair was few and far between these days) it ran circles around this card.

As far as cost for me I paid 1050 from a third party to get my card getting that money back and getting one directly from evga (the xc) would only cost me $90 extra from what I already had to pay. Totally worth it for me if I can get a clock that will play nicely with power limits. I'm not looking to for the highest oc's or bragging rights or anything like that just a stable card with stable clock able to deliver stable fps. This card at least for me was not that.

Well that's the thing, you're only guaranteed the advertised speeds stock/boost out of the box. Anything else is silicon lottery unless of course you're interested for a Kingpin for $500+ more so you can get those 5-10 extra FPS. There must be something else going on if the FPS is fluctuating rapidly and yes, I've heard former 10 series owners say the same. It's unfortunate but we all get some type of stutter or some other issue with the 20 series but not all.

agreed! wat about setting Power Management Mode in the NV CP? (Try Adaptive under the Global Setting Tab in the NV CP's 3D Settings. Then try Prefer maximum performance for each game in question for its' game profile under the Program Settings Tab. The Default Optimal power for under Global Setting Tab is guaranteed to cause throttling in many games.)

As far as cost for me I paid 1050 from a third party to get my card getting that money back and getting one directly from evga (the xc) would only cost me $90 extra from what I already had to pay.
Totally worth it for me if I can get a clock that will play nicely with power limits.
I'm not looking to for the highest oc's or bragging rights or anything like that just a stable card with stable clock able to deliver stable fps.
This card at least for me was not that.
Well that's the thing, you're only guaranteed the advertised speeds stock/boost out of the box. Anything else is silicon lottery unless of course you're interested for a Kingpin for $500+ more so you can get those 5-10 extra FPS.

.......and here I thought this whole time my settings for set on max by default. Ok, so I switched my Power Management Mode to Maximum Performance. Will BF5 it up for an hour or more. Not sure if I should mess with my PX1 settings as I haven't found a stable clock. I also forgot about this one monitoring meter either in PX1, XOC or another 3rd party software where it tells you if you're capping out on power? I forgot how to explain it or remember where it's at. At this point I forgot what it all means but I think it means that you're capped at power so you should lower the clocks or something like that but not sure. Anyways, if someone has a better explanation in the A.M. hours, pls do. lol

No I'm completely aware of the silicon lottery and not upset it doesn't oc like a beast it's more that it even at completely stock settings can't hold its voltages in proper way. After several hours of testing tonight I determined the card will down clock once it gets above 60 percent gpu usage that's when the power limit kicks in this never happens at 1080p because the card never went over 53% gpu usage sth this res but the minute I bumped it to 1440p the usage went up between 50 and 70% usage and this caused the power limit to constantly toggle on and off having the clocks swing +/-100 and overall was 50mhz slower on average to 1080p.
At 4k the card stayed around 90 to 100 gpu usage and the power limit stayed on the whole time causing the cards down clocks to be on average about 150mhz lower than the 1080p results.
The card was bouncing anywhere from 1635 to 1780 or so at 4k constantly and these swings were down from a pretty constant 1890mhz at 1080p
This was all at stock without even touching oc or power sliders.
The card should not be hitting its power limit if it hasn't even gotten to 100% power usage it was only doing that at 4k but even then as soon as gpu usage went over 60% the power limit kicked in and power was not hitting 100% let alone 112%.
Thr fact is the card isn't really stable at anything other than 1080p and it doesn't "feel" good to use the card. Fps swings are much more noticeable over a steady but lower fps (within reasonable margin).
If I knew that the card was gonna be all over the place and constantly hitting limits before even reaching its "limits" I would have skipped straight to one with more flexibility in its power levels.
The reason I went with the card was all the others who mentioned how great the card was even out of the box hitting 2gjz plus and holding strong.
I only post all this information to help others make a more informed decision some of these people may have actually got what they say or they may in fact be in a similar boat as me but due to other usage cases (like gaming at 1440p/60 or 1080p/120 less demanding games etc) they may not be running into the same limitations as I have with the card and when you don't run into them the card looks great.
I just wanted others who are looking for the same benefits I was (AAA gaming at 4k max settings with a minimum 60fps) and the real world results they may see when actually playing said games.
Day 1 with the card I was pumped too as out of the box with a few tweaks in oc scanner I was seeing numbers in the 2010mhz plus as it did its thing and then even had it spit out a 195mhz oc based on everything else I read about others results it sounded like my card was a winner as well but I quickly figured out there was more going on when my avg fps was barely more than what I was seeing with my 1080 ti setup and soon realizing it ls because the 15 to 20% bump I was expecting to get based on all others result numbers and what my numbers I thought were doing. Was actually 2 to 5%
improvement if any. And with benchmarks of my old card to reflect on its clear that a card holding a high voltage and steady oc is much more reliable even if the card was a bit slower its oc kept it much more reliable.
I'm not really mad just want others to know exactly why you're saving up to 20 percent cost compared to other 2080ti's out there and if these type of hindrances are worth it.
To some it may be OK for their use case but to myself and I assume many others in my situation knowing that the cards ability to handle 4k is quite limited by its arbitrary power settings more than anything else.
If only you could flash a higher bios on your own risk (warranty gone or something) and fully take advantage of the silicon, that is arguably plenty good to go, this wouldn't even be a problem. But alas they know exactly why the price it the way they do and why you might want to go with a proper 300A instead.
Would I pay $200 more for this option probably not but am I willing to pay the $90 my situation calls for?
Absolutely!
It's 8.5% more cost for what will most likely be between a 12 to 20% performance improvement.
That's the difference between a sub 60 fps avg and and a 60 minimum one in many of the games I play.

best way to start is: --no OC (use Optimal Defaults in MOBO BIOS) --stock clocks on GPU --uninstall X1 --run DDU in safe mode with Ethernet cable unplugged --install X1 --only use X1 for a default fan curve --when running @1440 or less on a G-sync LCD; increase Resolution Scaling if available --cap FPS with RivaTuner ("Framerate limit") to your screens frequency in it's Global profile --Fully Optimized your OS --start out running older games that your still familiar with how well they performed on previous cards --don't attempt playing the newest games until all seems AOK --if everything is AOK, remember to make a backup Image before something happens Edit: --use "High Performance" in Windows Control Panel > Power Options > Power Options I just played Chapter 1 COD WWII for the first time. Everything maxed. It is so beautiful! Playing on Second most difficult setting. It's pretty much perfect for first time through. Six more hours for -60% off sale!!! on Steam.
