Gigabyte AORUS 1080 Ti cards.

Efficiency is not everything. While you lose out on some efficiency on 100% power limit or even higher, you earn more.

Besides, setting cards to 100% doesn't mean they will always use 100% power, most algos don't go anywhere near that, more like 70% but for some power hungry algos it allows the cards to eat more and produce more.

I'm running a few 1080 TI rigs myself, specifically  a 7-card 1080 TI ZOTAC Amp extreme rig (1050w-1050w-1200w PSU's), and a 6 card 1080 TI Gigabyte gaming OC rig (1300w-1050w PSU's).   I have never gotten these rigs to run stable on anything more than an 85% power limit.   It maybe my PSU's, are my home circuit - but that's just my experience.   Also, a typical surge protector will only hand 1875w, so make sure you are using two if your total wattage is surpassing that per rig.

Bumping this since it happens all the same with lower power limits.

I keep getting this on a couple of 1080 Ti's randomly:



Sometimes it happens to only one card, sometimes they all fall together and flatline in MSI Afterburner.

Happens in both 3 and 4 card 10870 Ti rigs on a 1300W EVGA PSU with powered USB risers and even on a rig with only 1 card.

Seem to happen more frequently when the power limit is at 100% instead of around 70-80% but it might just be a coincidence.

The cards are only around 65°C.

Any suggestions what could cause this?

If I said you are  a f..king  m...n    for running the cards at 100%

would you be insulted?

Mind you I asked if I said that  while it looks like I said it  I did not.

So don't be insulted Grin Grin

Set the cards at 80% or less and your problems are solved.
