GPU Boost acting up

[fixterjake]

I am trying to get my best firestrike score and I have overclocked my two GTX 970's before, but now it is not boosting at all with my first card at stock core clocks and my second at about half the stock core clocks. I attacked a screenshot of my firestrike showing the core clocks and my precision x settings, I had been messing around trying different things so this is just default with the core clock and memory clock boosted to about where I would want it. any help would be awesome, thanks everyone.

What are your temps hitting? GPU Boost shouldn't throttle due to temperature until the mid to high 60c's.

And since it's a benchmark providing 100% load, your clocks and voltages should remain maxed regardless of GPU Boosts state (again unless you're hitting temp limits)

 

Regardless, you can try enabling K-Boost in EVGA Precision X, it disables GPU Boost. The only other way to disable it is with a BIOS edit and flash.

My temps in the picture are 52 and 43 so im not sure what is going on.

Those are unbelievably low for a 3DMark stress test... those are almost idle temps, the 43c anyway.

You're already using Precision X, so I'd suggest enabling K-Boost which effectively locks your voltage and clocks at their maximum while it's enabled.

The reason why your temps are so low is because your 1st GPU is clocking around 25% lower than it should while your 2nd GPU is clocking HALF of what it should. That means you're literally getting no performance boost over one card almost. Something's obviously wrong, check your system
