Thanks! 

I managed to make it work by changing the power settings for the gpu in nvidia control panel from adaptative to prefer maximum performance. I don't know if that will work for you, but it is worth giving it a try if you haven't already. 

Thank you very much for all your answers. 

Even at 1080p, if you want to ultra newer games or older ones with a lot of mods, the 2gb vram is going to be a problem. Then you also get the sli thing. Nowadays, most games run fine on sli so I wouldn't say that it is to much of a deal breaker, but the upper gpu tends to get pretty hot so you better have a good air flow in your case. Also a single card, gives you more room to upgrade in the future. You can buy a second one and sli them or even sell it faster than selling two 960. I would also consider amd's 390 if I were you. It performs slightly better than the 970 for the same price (In canada the 390 seems to be 5 to 20$ cheaper). In any case, the 970 or the 390 are a better options in my opinion.  

By looking at afterburner I reached a max boost of 1414 in crysis 3. I have been using afterburner to oc my gpu since I bought it (July), but I never scrolled that low on the monitoring graphs. I used to only look at the temps and gpu usage. When I was looking at gpuz it displayed a gpu clock of 1224 and a boost of 1300. So I always believed that I had one of the worst overclocking 980ti. 
 
Thanks a lot, knowing that my gpu can reach 1400+ mhz really made my day!!!!

Corsair ax 860i 850 watts platinum. The new one was using g sync. I turned it off in nvidia control panel. I also used my old one that doesn t feature g sync. I got the same results.

(Long story)
I tried to repair it but it said that the drive was locked. Then I tried it your way and I got a messge tgat said that it failed. I was decided to clean install it,but then I saw that tgere actually was an existing recovery partition so I went to boot manager to try to find it. I couldn't see it over therr, but I managed to find an option called boot manager. It booted by clicing on it. Then I restarted my pc and set my bios to default. Now it works again.
(Short Story) I set my bios to default and it works. (Yea I know I should have done that before but I m a total noob!
Thank you very much for your help!

So you believe that g sync is worth the 200$ price difference between the acer and the asus one?

You should increase the power target to 110 but that won t make any tangible improvement. It might just be a bad overclockibg card.

Yes that why I am also asking because it list crossfire but not sli. Thank you for the advice on the cpu.
