No way, 2080Ti-R would completely wipe the Titan RTX off the map.

TX-RTX is for a very specific group of people , regular 2080tis which are filling all stores around the world are taking a bad hit if that gpu is real

Thank you VPII ...a few quick follow-up questions: Is the 600w figure 'max', and for 1.1v / 2175 MHz ? Any equivalent reading for the KPE XOC at 1.05v ? Max watt figure for Strix XOC at 1.05v (max?) or if not, at 1.093v ? Thanks

I was a little more than 600watt as in up to 608watt or there about. As for 1.05v on the KP XOC don't think possible as the lowest vcore Ive seen was 1.100v. Max wattage on Strix XOC was around 470watt or there about seen that vcore limited to 1.05v.

Real voltage software monitoring
As you already know, regular hardware health monitoring software is usually unable to show real voltages supplied to the GPU and also disregard additional voltages like memory and PLL power. This is due to the fact that the NVIDIA driver only supports readout of “requested” voltages, or GPU VID setting. It does not have a standard mechanism to report real voltages presented from VRM. Most end users are not aware of this detail and expect to see real voltages. That’s why we often see many confused people in forums/discussions who see LN2 records with 2500 MHz+, but are often confused about reported clock/voltage measurements and left scratching their heads wondering how is such a high clock possible with only 1.093V?

Precision X1 and Kingpin Edition RTX 2080 Ti will report real monitoring, just like standalone DMM connected to ProbeIt. Now with onboard OLED display, there is no need for separate DMM when running benchmark sessions. To further comply with this, EVGA will sell optional “Extreme OC pack” with metal frame to support OLED display and it’s interconnect board on main graphics card PCB, while allowing full removal of Hybrid cover and watercooling solution to allow LN2 pot setup.

BIOS & Tools
BIOSes in this section are compatible only with EVGA RTX 2080 Ti KINGPIN card and will not work and may damage any regular 2080 Ti FTW3/SC or any other brand RTX card.

Just like all previous KINGPIN Edition cards, 2080 Ti KPE has three independent different BIOS ROMs and corresponding switch to select between them. Default configuration with switch locked at right (towards power plugs), setting on NORMAL BIOS position. BIOS difference comparison between the three are presented in table 4.

I can see they have three non XOC Bios's for the Kingpin card. I am tempted to try one of these three BIOS's to see if they offer better potential over the Asus XOC BIOS. The Asus XOC BIOS is limited to 1.05 volts which is ultimately the limiting factor. Can anyone confirm if the these three BIOS's as listed below in the image have a higher voltage limit ? There does not seem to be any confirmation that I can see.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, as far as i know those 3 bios are still voltage locked at 1.093V, at least untill you use evga classified tool to manually rise up voltage, that works only on kingpin cards.
For this reason i would suggest you to try the kingpin xoc bios, that completely remove temp and power limit and also overvolts non kingpin cards up to 1.125V. I think this bios is much better than the strix one.

The Kingpin XOC does not remove temp limits, again that is only possible on the Kingpin cards due to a hardware difference as per the linked documentation, but that would not bother me too much. I am hesitant to use the Kingpin XOC BIOS as I am looking for a daily driver, so I am not sure running the Kingpin XOC Bios all the time would be ideal, further to this, there is no fan control so it would sound like a jet engine all the time.

The Asus XOC Bios is locked to 1.093v so far as I recall, even though it only ever shows up as 1.05 but as I understand that is an Nvidia driver limitation. May end up sticking with Asus XOC then as the Kingpin XOC will drive me nuts at 100% fans all the time. I was just wondering if any of the standard kingpin BIOS's were any good, but may not offer me anything over the Asus XOC.

I have A xc ultra and have flashed the glax 380w bios in the past and it worked brilliantly, but this new "official" one in the op breaks my card, it shows up as a msi card not glax and all 3d acceleration is broken, i am attaching the ss of the bios i flashed and how it shows up in afterburner (all sliders are disabled)

Oh, how I long for the pre-UEFI Bios days...i.e. on GTX 670/680 series cards...save Bios, convert to .txt file, use notepad to change parameters like PL, save and convert back to .rom...

Re. 2080 Ti custom Bios, max cooling (starting no higher than in the low 20s C and never exceeding 38 C) yields both higher clocks and more PL 'budget' available. Presumably, that still holds for both the Strix XOC and KPE XOC with their much higher PL limits, so even with 1.05v per driver limitation, low temps can help a lot with overall MHz and FPS / scores.

yeah, a Turing (or even Pascal) bios editor would be wonderful!

@J7SC I noticed something interesting. I picked it up from AMD section the Windows 10 update 1903 assist the physics and combined score in Firestrike but also increases the graphics score in Timespy but drop the cpu score. Attached the link to my TS run last night.

And to compare the one with the cpu at 4.8ghz under Dice

I too am a fan of the 380W GALAX BIOS. This said, if I had to do it over again, I'd roll with an MSI Trio X and the 406w unofficial MSI BIOS. That is the best option right now if you want to stay with the stock air cooler and have the best BIOS possible.

Agreed. I love my X trio

would you believe the bracket due to vibration caused by the fans ramping up to max when the pc started moved into the third fan area and broke off 2 blades, scewing over my warranty? i had to take the card apart and superglue the blades back on and now it works perfect again. I also ordered replacement fans on ALI Express to make it PERFECT again. the fans i ordered most likely are from the 1080 ti x trio version but should be fine.

I was so pissed, f*** that sag bracket.

Hi guys!

Does it make sense to use liquid metal when installing a water block? What is the profit compared to thermal grease?

Thats a bad idea.

Worked perfectly on 1080Ti, just covered the spots around the core with electrical tape.

I used liquid metal for 1080TI Asus with air cooling. Got a minus 3-5С.
But I had no experience of water-cooled and liquid metal.

I was running like 35-38*C under full load on MSI Gaming X 1080Ti's........had a 560mm HW labs rad for them.

Just ordered the Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme RTX 2080 ti. It was ordered with my completely new system build linked below. Hopefully I made a good decision!

Time will tell, new cpu's are right around the corner.

for amd yea, for intel more like 2020/21 rather

Thanks - I think this might be the result of MS mitigation of an earlier security update which reduced physics, but then, I'm not sure. I'm still on '1809' but will check for the update. Also, I uploaded 1usmus' new Ryzen Dram Calc. 1.51, and actually got tFAW 16 working on my quad channel setup...that bumped TS physics up nicely as well. When I have a bit more time, I'll do some new runs for 3DM to see how that impacts GPU tests.
