Hi,when i run Heaven benchmark to test my overclock ar first it will run at the clock offset that i chose,my card boosts to 1403,so if i put +60 the card boosts to 1463 and that is shown on afterburner. However,at the middle of the benchmark the card will boost to 1450 and the voltage will drop to 1200 from 1225.

Temps are fine,it wont pass 65 degrees celsius,and power target and temp target sliders all maxed.

Why is the card downcloking?

GPU boost or TDP limit.

GPU Boost, Nvidia's half-baked power saving technology.

I use K-Boost in EVGA Precision X to disable it so my card functions properly.

 

 

 

Doesn't that force the card to run at max boost clocks all the time regardless of load?

 

Edit: Just realized that quoting doesn't work in Edge unless you do it twice -_-
