The GeForce RTX 2080 Ti K|NGP|N flaunts a 1,770MHz boost clock. The graphics card has three 8-pin PCIe power connectors, which means it can supply itself with over 520W of power.
Note, can supply itself with. Not uses. The overclocking BIOS (which I did not install, not worth it for 50mhz and a lost warranty) has a TDP of 520w. At around 2500mhz.
The card tells you how much wattage it's pulling, though sadly right now I can't see the VFD. I bought a pedestal, but it's too heavy for me to carry up the stairs so it's at mum's. However I can tell you now it is never pulling 520w @ 2150. I only have a 750w PSU, and with the 3950x overclocked to full PBO like it is and the RAM I have ETC the rig would shut down.
I will have a look when I get home, but yeah it's not even close to that tbh. The stock TDP is 280w for the 2080Ti, 100 lower than the 3090.
And, bear in mind the KP has massive copper cooling and a 240 rad on. But yeah, if it were a cooker you would know about it because I would tell you dude.

There you go. On stock bios the card has a maximum TDP or 400w. Like, an absolute maximum after which it will throttle back to stop it using any more power. The unlocked BIOS obviously allows that to go higher but I am not using it.
I know you got great clocks out of your MSI, but you need to remember that the Kingpin is a Grade A bin GPU so it's not just the overclocking it also behaves incredibly well under normal use and will use less power than pretty much any other non binned 2080Ti.
