Initially I thought I am doing something wrong. But the card just won't run stable above that, even with power and voltage limit maxed out. This seems really odd to me.

Can you confirm what your sustained boost clock is when gaming? There's nothing untoward about a 70MHz offset. You can run the OC Scanner to see how NVIDIA's tool fares in comparison.

Please list all specs including power supply and case so we can make sure thats not the issue. These cards will heat up the inside of a case quick, fast and in a hurry!
Also list which card you have, if its the dual fan, that's about all you can expect. Ive had a pair of the 011G 3 fan flavors to +160 and that's about all she wrote on those due to hitting power limit. Maxing out the voltage can be your enemy with these cards. More juice will make you hit the power limit faster. Im sitting at +140 and max power with +20 on the Volts slider which seems to be a happy medium for me on air. This keeps it hovering right under the power limit and hitting it occasionally. with 160 hitting the power limit I get 2050 Mhz and with 140 just under I get 2050 Mhz.
Again mine are the Strix 2080Ti O11G cards with the 3 fans.
Just like anything else the silicon lottery plays a part as well. The reviewers are often sent cherry picked samples so the brand looks good in the reviews so you cant take too much away from that.

So that's it, right? This card is just one of the worst overclockers among the Strix series. "Silicon Lottery". Why do I have the impression that "Silicon Lottery" is not really a thing for the average customer? Probably, the batch of cards went through so many pre-selecting hands that all the samples arriving at EU shops are mediocre at best.
For CPUs there even is a company called "Silicon Lottery" which does it's best to remove the chance of getting good pieces of hardware altogether by scanning for good CPUs and selling them at higher prices. What a misnomer! Same with Caseking: never buy a standard CPU there. You'll 100% get a sample that is mediocre at best, because they sell the rest of them at supreme prices.
Rant over. Card testing over. Refund.

No vendor will give you guaranteed maximum overclocking potential between samples. Moreover, NVIDIA's Greenlight and GPU Boost 4.0 creates too many cravats to ensure stability under all conditions. If looking to achieve the absolute maximum frequency possible, fully fledged water cooling is the way forward.
