1080Ti Power Target Dropping

[doogeem3]

Hey there!

So I have an ASUS Strix 1080Ti.

I've always been having trouble with my overclock. Whenever I set Voltage to 100% and Power Target to 120%, after maybe 20 minutes of gaming or benchmarking, the Power Target drops down to around 60% and my FPS tanks. The card never exceeds 70c and has no overheating issues whatsoever.

Changing settings does not solve the issue until I reboot.

Any input would be great.

Hey!

Was about to post my own question; I hope OP doesn't mind if I join this thread instead since it is fresh and I have the same issue.

I got a used Aorus 1080 Ti. I can OC it to around 2088MHz core and it does great in Superposition (max 6465 so far) reaching maximum power of just above 130%. However after a benchmark or two the power target drops mid-run. Clocks, voltage and temps stay the same but power and FPS are cut in half. I tried different voltage curve profiles. I crank the fans up as I don't care that much about silence so the temps always stay below 70c.

My specs:
Asus z97 Pro
i5 4690k @4.5GHz
16GB DDR3 @2400MHz
PSU: EVGA 750 G2

BIOS is the latest version for both MOBO and GPU
Drivers version 416.34

Is it possible I got a faulty GPU? Any advice will be greatly aprreciated. Thanks!
