I am not understanding how sometimes I can set the offset, monitoring tools report that its supposed to be running 2214, but it in fact is running stock speeds. I guess I need to better understand how the manual voltages ramp themselves up - Thermals are fine, idle is 32C and load is 38C in Furmark so far.

Its proberbly a powertarget limitation followed by aperf Cap , you Can check this via logfils of dedicatet Monitoring Software like afterburner or GPU z , These will show you the Performance Cap reason . Same happens when you Look at the Thread openers 3d Mark results of 5800 in ultra or Close to 25 K normal in Graphics Score Can be achieved with 1080 gtx @ 2025-50 on core and a slight memoryoverclock .

Btw , anyone tried to Flash a classified BIOS on a FTW to get benifits from its higher PT ?

And I'm at 24k or under with 1080 sli overclocked at 2190mhz on normal firestrike? That's possable with a single 1080?

Pure Graphics Score( iam Not talking about total Score here ) ? With 2 sli'd 1080s ?

Had the same observation today running Firestrike with 2114 core 5500 mem @ 1.062 volt via global  offset results in 23300 firestrike graphics score
Using curve editor and adjust it to 2278 and 5500 @ 1.062V it gives me 22000 graphicscore O.o both Afterburner and and HWmonitor tell me this clock is stable running futher more Afterburner didnt notice any power or temperature perf caps in its log file ! locking this step via L all the time dosent fix the problem!
So apearently something is cheesy with this curve editor.
 
 
 

Higher doesn't mean better. My old 980 Ti can clock to 1580MHz, but scores lower than when it is at 1555MHz. Probably the GPU having to make error corrections.

I'm not doubting that it's unstable at that speed, but even at known stable settings it always scores lower with manual curve control vs regular offset method.

I'm scoring higher with my 1080 using the curve method and setting the highest clocks at my max voltage (which seems to be 1.062V). I am using MSI Afterburner 4.3 Beta 14. I was getting inconsistent results with PrecisionX and the standard offset method, and I couldn't set a manual curve as it's so dang hard to see what it is that I'm doing in that window - definitely something that EVGA should work on.

I'm Using afterburner now. Dragging any point in the editor results in a seemingly stable overclock, but has lower than expected performance. GPU-z list perfcap pwr, thrm, vrel, vop as reasons but it only gets to 40c. Switching to linear mode solves this and shows no perfcap, but I lose per voltage point control.

I don't know what to tell you - I can OC higher and get higher results using the curve method (Afterburner 4.3 beta 14) on my EVGA 1080 ACX 3.0 card using 373.06 drivers than I can using the old offset method. As a matter of fact, my card will crash at a much lower frequency using the old offset method.
 
I only adjust the 1.062V curve setting, are you doing the same?
 
Also, getting all those percap codes isn't a good thing I'd wager. Do you get the same codes at stock settings? If you do, you might need to RMA the card.

I'm not getting any problems with stock clocks. I can Get stable in offset mode up to 2113mhz at 1.062v With linear adjustment of the curve I'm currently at 2150mhz at 1.062 and testing higher. But If I adjust a single point on the curve any amount I get lower performance and perfcap reasons that don't make sense. And I just rma'd my previous card for the BS 100% issue, So far this GPU doesn't have that problem.
