Hello
 
I flash the bios of the 2080 XC to have the Power Target at 130
By default, it's still 100 but I can increase it to 130 in Precision X1

But with each reboot, the setting is not saved if Precision X1 is not started
It is not possible to have the Power Target at 130 without Precision X1 (bios update, other) ?
 
Thanks

Sorry for my english

    Re: X1 software

    If you save your setting, you can select the box to boot to them.
     
    If you "save your settings"  you can "load the saved settings" manually after reboot
     
    Word of caution:  While looking for best stable OC, save the setting however; Do Not have the PC BOOT to them - because when you hit unstable OC, that is Not the settings you want during the post crash reboot

    Ok thanks for your answer
    So the bios allowing the Power Target to 130 is just for a "manual setting" (use of a software)
    It is not set directly in the bios

    Sorry for my english

    Pushing the X1 slider full right under "Target" -  will allow up to 130%
     
    Even if you do nothing else:  Set custom fan curve & set Temp & Power Targets Full Right, select a profile number & save



    Screen shot:  shows set for up to 130% --- Only pulling 9% idle when screen shot taken

    That's what I did  but as soon as I shut down and restart the PC, the Power Target is at 100 (without Precision X1 launched)

    You have to "save" the X1 settings to a "profile number" first
     
    On reboot you have to do one of these:
     
    A) have X1 set to auto start with Windows & to use your last open profile
     
    B) on reboot start the X1 (or have it auto start) --- then --- Manually Use the "Load profile button" & then "Apply button"* to recall that profile number's settings
     
     
    note: * not sure about the need for the Apply button - I'm on an older version 2.9 of X1 & have not need to adjust it in several weeks

    Aa yes, with X1 is good, no worries
    I asked if it was possible to "save" this value of the Power Target without using X1

    How are you loading the Card ? 
     
    How are you monitoring the Card without X1 ?
     
    You will need to use a benchmark "that makes the card work hard" to see what kind of Power the card will draw without X1

    I monitoring the card with GPU-Z or Aida64
    For the "load", I do with Supersposition, OCCT or Aida64
    And I'm watching the Power Target in GPU-Z

    If I boot without X1, the Power Target is at 100 and the frequency is lower than with the Power Target at 130 with X1 launched

    In fact, I wanted to know if it was possible to have the Power Target set to 130 directly in the bios (without using software)
     
    Thanks
