Palit GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SuperJetstream in review

Overclocking

Manual overclocking with air cooling is rather worthless, even if you can bear the fans working at 2500 rpm at maximum speed. On the one hand, of course, as always, we have caught the GPU lottery and there probably a worse chip, on the other hand it remains to be assumed that the better boards are "noble" after the test for the GameRock Premium Edition. Our card was good, despite exorbitantly high power consumption by the maximum set Power Target, only for stable 2 GHz.

Temperatures and clock rates

First, we compare the achieved start and end values for temperatures and GPU clock (boost) in tabular form:

	Initial	Final value
Open Benchtable
GPU Temperatures	40 °C	73-74 °C
GPU Clock Open	1962 MHz	1898 MHz
Ambient temperature	22 °C	22 °C
Closed Case
GPU Temperatures	42 °C	76 °C
GPU Clock Closed Case	1962 MHz	1872 – 1885 MHz
Air temperature in the housing	25°C	42°C
OC (Open Benchtable)
GPU temperatures (2500 rpm)	28 °C	57 °C
GPU clock	2012 MHz	2000 MHz
Ambient temperature	22°C	22°C

Overview Graphs: Temperatures vs. Clock

For better illustrations now again the respective courses considering our timeline of a total of 15 minutes each for the warm-up time.

Thermal analysis of the back of the board

Finally, we consider the thermal analysis of the respective load states. We see that the VRM area and memory modules remain very balanced and no visible, extreme hotspots form. This shows once again how useful direct cooling of the voltage converters and coils can be.
