RTX 2080 Ti slower than GTX 1080 Ti

I don’t have both a 1080 and a 2080 to help you try these things. A good start would be to manually monitor the output of nvidia-smi for the two GPUs while training and see if the Volatile GPU-Util percentage is good.

This might be of use to update the output

watch -n 0.2 nvidia-smi
