what do you mean you cant get +80

are your temps too high?

do you get instability?

fans too loud?

I have the SAME problem with mine.  EVGA GTX 780 SC w/ACX cooler?  My temps are very good also.  Usually at 64C on most games, only game that it goes above 64C is Metro:Last Light, and even then it is only 68C.

 

I can't get any more out of my GPU, even increasing the voltage to +62, the highest possible, it isn't working.  I dunno why, kinda bogus that I can't squeeze out that extra 10% that I want.

Are you sure the voltage is at 1.21V during gaming? Use the OSD monitoring tool and dont forget to monitor the core clock as well. My EVGA cards are always undervolting to 1.162V or 1.150V.

Your card is already factory overclocked; 967MHz that would be a boost of 1045MHz or even more so adding 80MHz would be 1120MHz which seems to be normal for a card with 60% asic and around 1.150V. My evga 780's aren't factory overclocked and I can get only 1150MHz out with the stock bios.

My card is at 1.162v stock and I have 1071Mhz out of the box.  But even when I tried adding more voltage, it would still not be stable.  I did not try setting it to constant, do I need to set the voltage to constant?

1071MHz out of the box and you added a 80MHz that makes your OC 1150. I'm asking what your voltage is under load.

Have a look: http://i.imgur.com/dtiYctL.png (look at purple text)

I've added a voltage of 63 which should make 1.21V but the bios doesnt allow any higher than 1.187V. After 10mins the voltage drops from 1.187V to somewhere like 1.150V so I can't get x clock stable at 1.150V anymore but only at 1.187V.

Now the voltage drop happened to 1.112V: http://i.imgur.com/25YiRJP.png

Got it now? There are modded bioses around that removes this stupid voltage throttling and you won't see your voltage dropping below 1.21V anymore.

I am different from the OP.  I cannot add ANYTHING, otherwise I lose stability.  During games, at full load my voltage is staying at 1.162v  it doesn't drop or anything, constantly at 1.162.  I have tried adding mV, but it doesn't help at all.

 

You actually tried helping me when I created a thread of my own for this exact subject.

Then you have to flash a modded bios. PM me if you're interested or just quote me on your own thread.

fans too loud?

 

what keeps you from pushing?

The problem is the driver keeps crashing a few minutes into the game, I also have voltage set to the highest setting in Nvidia Inspector.

Just use the card at stock settings.  Not worth the trouble of doing a BIOS flash for only +100 on the core.
