RTX 3080 hashrate drop list

[jelome198959]

Pull the back plate and fan the fuck out of it?

And void my warranty for 10mh ? Not very appealing . Right now i’m just pist i got the gaming trio cause prior to buying general consensus was that these cards were safe from issues .

Should of went for an evga ftw3 or the asus tuf . I’ve always seen good results from evga’s when it comes to OC for mining .

I'm curious.

So, to be clear:
1.) GPU-Z doesn't indicate it's thermal throttling.
2.) Setting the fan on auto --- what fan speeds do you get?
3.) Can't unlock voltage monitoring
4.) What MSI AB version are you running?
5.) Nvidia driver version?

1.) i’m using hwinfo and its not showing me thermal temp limit reach. It does show me power limit reached tho. Not sure how to see thermal throttling with gpu-z . I’ll look at it if u show me where to check

2.) fan is set to auto. Temp is at 45-48c with fan usually being around 60-70% . Just added some 120mm magnetic corsair fan so inside the case is very cool. Oh and i have a fan outside my case right in front of the card to push out any hot air.

3-4.) i downloaded the MSI AB 4.6.3 beta and was able to have the core volt enable but even with that maxed out the card still throttles .

5.) nvidia driver 460.89 the latest .

Yeah this is really curious indeed. If you managed to fix it let us know.

Gigabyte with a change of thermal pads +100Mhs

Link for those thermal pads please

I need it for Gigabyte Eagle OC.

Acording to gigabyte.com, this GPU has Memory Clock 1‎9000 MHz.
I can push it to 10251 MHz without any problem. I want to push it higher.
But i cannot get stable hahsrate. if i push it higher.
if this GPU has Memory Clock 1‎9000 MHz, we can push it higher than 10251 MHz.
Core temp is very low because we dont need core to mine ETH in this GPU.
We cannot see memory temp. This is the biggest problem.
Even if i set the fan speed, memory temp is high.
This GPU has a perfext cooler block and 3 fans are enough to cool the cooler block.
But the termal pads for the memory are so bad. Because they cannot transfer the heat properly.
I belive i can push memory highher than 10251 MHz and get 104 MH/s ETH mining hashrate if i use good termal pad.

Guys, just to add some info here

I bought this model: EVGA NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, 10GB, GDDR6X - 10G-P5-3881-KR
This is the "basic" version, without backplate, and probably the cheapest of EVGA

I'm running here for 24h, and using 67% TDP, +25 Core Clock + 1099 on memories and fan on 75%
Using 228w on software and 250 or 260 on the wall
Hashing 98Mhs without any drop and less than 1% of reject share

I'll wait a little more to see what's the maximum I can get on this GPU and will post again

maybe minus 400 on core and 50% power limit?

[rdluffy]

maybe minus 400 on core and 50% power limit?

Tried here, and hashrate drops to less than 70Mhs
I think these 3080s are power hungry, and if I reduce TDP to 66%, hashrate drops too
I can only achieve 98Mhs or more with more power

If I reduce TDP, core clock can't sustain and this is the problem

Example:
TDP 67% and Core Clock 1020 to 1050Mhz = 98.4Mhs stable

TDP 65% and core Clock 960 to 980Mhz = 91.8Mhs

But I'm happy with, no drops and almost 100Mhs

Zotac Trinity OC - Micron Memory
Throttling... I have 3 of them now. Each of them has diffrent hashrate although the weather is cold now.
I will send them back

[rdbase]

Who cares you can not buy them.  And if they sell they may all have new parts. I am thinking lots of empty christmas stockings as we simply can not buy them.

All video cards including these ones mentioned at near impossible to get at retail stores as it seems scalpers have flooded them onto places like facebook marketplace and ebay.
They are charging so much for the 3000series cards it really is not worth it to pay the prices they demand.
Might as well wait until the pandemic protocol restrictions subside a bit so more can be delivered from their factories overseas to the big box stores like bestbuy and microcenters.

I noticed he is using a single cable + extender to power the 3080. Is this safe and Ok?
I’m running an evga 1300w that has only 6 GPU cables, i.e 3 cards. But it still has plenty of power that I cannot utilize.

If he knows what he is doing then is fine.

Found the solution to your problem...

Seems you need to update vbios of your Trio to bypass some kind of limitation by the current one.

Let me know what you get now if you did flash it. GL!

Replacement of thermal pads on gigabyte RTX 3080 video cards. After replacement, the video card produces a stable hashrate of ~ 100mh/s.
But the warranty for the video card is no longer covered.

Thanks for that find . They flashed the evga bios on the trio x but i would try the suprim bios to keep it in the family . At least to try at first .

2 things tho .

1: i heard u lose warranty when u flash the bios . Say i was to flash back to the original bios would msi still know i flashed a diff bios at some point ?

2: do u know of any good guide to flash the bios ? I had found one but it didnt work .

I never flashed a gpu bios so its new territory for me .

500,000 graphics cards found in an abandoned container

"The RTX 3070, 3080 and 3090 are still hard to find. A shortage favored by strong demand, excessively long production cycles and the global pandemic, which does not make things easier. Good news however, since a South Korean port operator has just got hold of a lost shipment of 500,000 GeForce RTX 3000 cards!

A simple administrative error
And indeed, there was one, or rather 500,000! We learned this Monday, December 28, 2020 that Choi Min-Sik, a port employee in South Korea, has unearthed a stray cargo of 500,000 GeForce RTX 3000 in a container. The employee in question had spotted boxes stamped Nvidia in a container absent from the registers."

This is how the shortage of video cards is made.

1.) I also don't know never did it before too but as long as you followed instructions perfectly I think you should be good. If I get a reasonably priced 3080 Trio I will try myself. But looking at market conditions, it is highly unlikely until maybe Feb.
2.) https://www.overclock.net/threads/official-nvidia-rtx-3080-owners-club.1753932/
There's a guide in the middle of the first post.

1)In GPU-Z look for PerfCap Reason. It should say Idle when you are mining, and will change the Therm if it is thermal throttling.
3-4) do not raise core clock or core voltage, it just exacerbates the problem.
If you use MSI AB you need to underclock and undervolt using voltage curve mode (I have mine flattened to 1000mhz, this will cause the gpu to run at its lowest voltage possible, thus lowering PL without reducing hashrate). Press ctrl+F when you are using MSI AB. Do not underclock by setting PL.

[Wotan Wipeout]

@Geck

Do not underclock by setting PL.

+1

In windows only use the Afterburner to set a fixed voltage.
Lowest i could get is 0.737 or so. If anybody finds a solution to go lower..... post it.

In GPUZ Perfcap season is pwr while mining . I did notice that at 300mem or lower it says idle . Soon as i go above that it changes to pwr .

I tried to set the curve at 1000mhz but everytime i apply , it goes automatically to 1300mhz . I tried 1100 but same thing .
