Showing different clock speeds everywhere

[Wano97]

GPU-Z Shows a Clock speed of 985MHz and a boost of 1037MHz

Precision X shows a clock speed of 1019 and a boost (Shown on picture) of 1110MHz

Unigine Valley shows a clock speed of 1324MHz, boost I think.

 

What's happening here? What am I missing or overlooking?

Also: Take a loot at the power usage, shouldn't this be at 100-95?

It's normal, some of the programs out there don't measure things that accurately.

 

For power consumption, it's normal and it depends on the programs that use the GPU, I've never seen my old GTX 660 hit 100% even when I'm running Metro:2033 benchmarks.

Then again, which of those are right?

[SpecTre12345]

GPU-Z is correct.

 

Any reason why you are underclocking your 780? I've never heard of such ludicrousness. 

[Wano97]

GPU-Z is correct.

If I didn't, my games/GPU/drivers would crash. If I'd raise voltages, it would run on a higher boost clock rate by itself, causing even more instability. Are you sure GPU-Z is correct ? I think precision X is

Then you have to RMA the card. If your card isn't functioning properly then you must return the card or RMA it. A card shouldn't be unstable at stock clocks and better yet shouldn't be unstable after a minor overclock. You should at least be able to do +60 on the core and +250 memory on any nVidia card with ease. It's like the equivalent of getting a new overclockable CPU and not being able to overclock to 4.2-4.3GHz. Except in this scenario it's closer to getting a 4790k and it crashing at stock clocks. Obviously there is a problem with the card and you should return it. When purchasing a new video card you should look to overclock it, not underclock it. If it's not working unless you underclock then you have a dud and must inform the company ASAP so they can resolve the issue for you. There's no reason to spend $500 on a new card and it cant work at stock clocks or even execute a minor overclock 

 

What you want to do to see what you are boosting to is the following. Open up GPU-Z, go to Sensors. In the drop down menu of GPU Core Clock select "Show Highest Reading." Then run a game for a few minutes. This will tell you the max boost clock your card is hitting currently. If it's 1110, then EVGA Precision is accurate.

Dude, why haven't you RMAd the card yet?

[Wano97]

Dude, why haven't you RMAd the card yet?

I never RMAd anything in my life tbh and have no idea where to send it to. I ordered this at a local store, can I go back to them for this?

I'm trying it with Unigine Valley right now

EDIT: Yeap Precision X is right: 

 

BUT Considering GPU-Z says the default is 1072MHz boost clock, why is it going over that, even when I underclocked it?

Go back to the store. Exchange the card. Tell them the card is not functioning correctly at stock clocks. Say it crashes or becomes unstable at stock clocks and I haven't overclocked it at all. There should be at least a 30 day warranty from the store you purchased from. Should be no big deal, you go in they give you a new card they take the malfunctioning one. You shouldn't have to go through an entire RMA process if you just purchased the card recently.

Because of your temperatures (assuming they are low) the way GPU Boost 2.0 works is it will boost up based on temperatures. -35 isn't much if it has a factory overclock already.

Ehm I've got this card for like 7 months now

[SpecTre12345]

Well that's your fault for holding onto a defective card for this long unless it didn't always have these problems. The only way to fix the issue now is to go through the Gigabyte RMA process:

See that you are in Belgium:

Gigabyte tells me to contact the retailer I bought it from aswell, so I'm gonna call them in a few and ask them if I still have any warranty etc

Contact the company you bought it from. EVGA Asus Gigabyte etc. If it's an EVGA card I'm pretty sure you would end up with a working card without any hassle.
