Problems with new RTX 2080-TI -solved

TheMysteryIsThePoint

Kinda sounds like a heat problem? Maybe the board is defective, after all, like some are saying.

Have you considered the hardware may be faulty? Try swapping the 2080 tis over and see it the problem follows the card. I had a 2080ti I had to RMA because it developed a fault. It's would drop to CPU after a few minutes. It was also unstable when trying to play games on it. I figured it was memory controller/vram related as it became stable again after downclocking the memory speed.

Thanks

Will try that - made some stress test today and the performance was perfect, but if you’ve seen the same faulty it could be the case.

Most likely something is misconfigured in the system.

Less likely the 2080ti is not good and needs to be RMA'd.

Either way contact the seller and explain your issue. Since they sold you both machines they should be able to figure out what's the difference.

Thanks for your answer. The problem is that the 2080 -Ti seems to work and for me it look's like a software issue. They'll probably just say that the machine works as expected. I'll try make some more benchmark on the 2080 -Ti to see if something looks different.

Thanks for your help

 

Go to Render Settings > Advanced > Hardware > Photoreal Mode > Devices and un-check your 2080Ti in the list. Then immediately re-check it and start a test render. There's a good chance your GPU may now suddenly start being used.

Weird - un-check and check - for 10 minutes it was working but then switched back to CPU 

I'm now fairly convinced you have some sort of hardware fault. It is possible the driver is a problem as well.

If you switch the cards between the machines and the issue remains local to the box not the card I'd get DDU completely remove the driver and install the latest driver again. If that doesn't fix the issue you could try doing a full reinstall of Windows. If that doesn't fix it I'd lean very heavily toward RMA of the mobo.

If the issue follows the card RMA the card.

You're right. It WAS the graphic card. Just switch the 2080-Ti and memory load drop almost 50 % for the same image to render and CPU load is now 38 % - not 100 %
