I'm using the new Precision X OC 6.0.4 and i'm getting the voltage limit 1 during load with default settings with my new 1080 Classified. It runs 1974Mhz boosted using 1.050v which seems quite high compared to my other Classified which does 2025Mhz at only 1.031v at defaults.
 
Anyways its always showing voltage limit 1. Why??? If I overclock even just a hair it shows Power,voltage and heat limit all at 1. This is now my 3rd 1080 classified as there in stock at my local MC. The 2nd one also did the same. That one ran default at 2000Mhz at 1.063v and voltage 1. Any overclock it did the same with 1s all around. I thought forsure it was defective so I exchanged it only to find the 3rd one is doing the same thing!
 
My 1st 1080 Classified I tested runs perfectly and never ever shows a 1 for limits! Can overclock very high at super low voltage. Even overclock the memory super high unlike any of the other 10 1080s i've tried. Never ever drops its clock cause theres no limit hit.
 
I just don't get it.. the tempts are low in the upper 40's low 50s yet the temp limit is at 1 and the card downclocks because of it.. even with just the voltage limit hit it will downclock soon at defaults.
 
My first classified is a low serial number 08xx and the 2nd one was 22 above that and now the 3rd one is way newer.. has something changed?
 
I'm really at the breaking point with trying to settle with 2 1080 cards so I can start my new build.. cant get to that point till I know what i'm using so I can order the blocks for them or just go air cooling.. just real fustraighting. I think I found the perfect card yet the next 2 is not even in the same league.
 
Is something wrong with with this classified card?? Bios programed wrong with the clocks and voltage or its just not a good performer?

Have you tried POC ver 6.0.6

You generally hit the limit on one or the other and not all three.  Something is still off.  Now you have to figure out if it is your system or the card or your monitoring software.
 
I may have missed it, but have you tried Afterburner?
 
Also, is it doing that when running only one card in your primary slot as opposed to running it in SLI?

Let me tell you the first card wants to do 2190mhz while almost hitting 12k ram. No limits hit ever.

I'm prob gona have to call evga cs on the topic.

I'm just wondering if it's just that I'm hitting the chip limit or somethings off on the card.. like the internal monitoring? Or bios flashed incorrectly with limits in place.. as in just flash it with a new bios made for the classified to clear it up.

If that's the case, would be nice to flash it with the bios in the first card as no limits is ever hit. I'll know when I've hit a limit when it locks up under load.

So yeah.. something internal or maybe something is not screwed down all the way with the cooler and something is overheating.

So, just to be clear, if you run the card with the 'issues' in the primary slot by itself (and no second card installed at all), you still see this?

Its normal, since frequency is tied to voltage what it means you need to your voltage, try setting voltage 100%. if still showing 1, increase frequency offset to force a higher voltage stepping.

Ok so if it's saying voltage limit 1 while runing the cards defaults "stock" and it's runing ingredients 1975mhz at 1.065v and that's not enough then I guess it's prob a bad card if it needs that much voltage.

And I can't wait to get home to test it with max voltage at that 1975.. cause if it don't go away wow.

I also believe I was able to lower the voltage at a certain mhz to get it voltage limit to 0.

Ok just entered debug mode in NV control.

Ran defaults with firestrike graphic test 2 loop.

Right away it's at 1873mhz at 1.063v with you guessed it.. voltage limit 1!

Drops down to 1860 after a min and still 1.063v. Still voltage limit 1.

Temps at 50c fan at 89% after 5 mins or so.

How many times are you going to make a thread about this?

No one seen it in the other one.. and this is also a whole different card.. card 3.

Just ran -100 vote for 1772mhz. Downloaded to 1759 in 20 secs. Voltage ran at 1.065v on its own. Voltage limit still 1.

Temps 50c. Fan 89%

Tried setting max volts at -200 and it used 1.082v I believe then after a min dropped to 1.072v still voltage 1.

So if something on this card was not programed wrong with whatever is controlling the amount of voltage to use at certain clocks (bios?), then I guess this card is a lemon.

Jacob says voltage limit 1 means it needs more voltage. If i run it at the max you can give it 1.094v at 1860 or even 1660mhz and it still says it needs more voltage to be happy, it's fine?

$750 bucks on there top tier 1080 card and that's to be expected and that passed the grade worthy of the classified model and it should be exceptable?

Is Jacob from evga saying this?

Voltage limit is determined by vbios/voltage controller on the card.

more open box deals at microcenter... sweet.
