Multiple bugs squashed related to screenshots.

OK giving this one a try shortly. Will report findings soon.

Latest version of GPUZ during the benchmark test there is flickering that was not happening prior to 5.2.5. Happens whether you have OSD enabled or not.

Still has OSD toggle issues. Not sure if it's cause I bind mine to alt+T, but it works fine in 4.2.1.
 
Also it's not only youtube videos that freeze with x16, as I was just watching a video in VLC media player and it froze with sound playing, then crashed.
 
Reverting again, come on guys just build off of the 4.2.1 version :/.

They aren't going to do that, lol.. That was what happened, sort of, with 5.1.0 and everyone complained. At least they are actively working to correct these issues unlike some other persistent issues that aren't getting as much attention.

When are you going to add back to the software the ability to change your font/size/color for the taskbar monitoring. Not all of us use the same screen resolution/size and, at least on my screen, the 1st digit is cut in half because the font is so large.

OSD issues in games has been an ongoing problem ever since it has been around. Some games hate it and others don't have any issues at all. Some just don't like Precision at all, whether you enable OSD or not. The games I hear about the most issues are your warfare shooter games. Never had problems with MMO or non online games. I use a G-15 keyboard with a display so I get all my temperature etc. information on that. I just don't get FPS with the OSD turned off but I use FRAPS for that.

Cant seem to find game profile enabling any more where will i find that ? There is no longer a icon on taskbar ..
 
From a twit that you sent me back when this first came out **You can try removing BF4 from the exclusion list. (Double click the icon in sys tray) its not there any more ??

So, no W7 32bit support for this?  Kind of stinks imo!

I still cannot add voltage to my 6GB 780's. I keep reverting back to 4.2.1, and then X16 comes out with an update. I try it, and it doesn't work. What the heck is going on EVGA? I'm running stock bios, and the max I can get in version 4.2.1 is 1.2v. When I go to set precision x 5.2.5 (or 5 version), it will on stay at stock speeds.. but in the OSD, it shows 1.212 or 1.3?
 
Any update on the problem with the 780 voltage?

Not sure if you are measuring with a digital multimeter, but there isn't a single software suite, from any company, that reads gpu voltage correct. Most won't even display above 1.212v even with extreme volts running through it. You may be applying the settings, they may be working, and just not getting the proper reading because of the software. If you can get your hands on a multimeter, you may find that the voltage setting is working.

It doesn't log it correctly. I am using the Ti, which is a little bit different of course, but the voltage will show 1.175 when the cpu is at 1.35v... That is with overclocking and overvolting of course. You need multimeter read out to know that it isn't working for sure. Until then, the software isn't logging true number at all.

Does 4.2.1 allow you to go past 1176 by far?

OK, I will load it and test it with a multimeter to see if it is doing anything with the voltage on my cards. Give me a few minutes. If it isn't, this will be a good thing to go into the bug report thread.

I am going to address this post specifically, as I can get video, if you would like, and debunk this voltage thing right away.  Voltage is being applied, and it actually really good at applying what you set.


 
I just ran through 30 minutes of testing all sorts of voltages, under load and without load, overclocked and not, overvolted and not, until I crashed my computer completely, lol.
 
So, in Short.  GPU-Z shows the absolute closest voltage.  HWiNFO64 and Precision were WAY off.  
At stock the Multimeter reading was 1.033, GPU-z read 1.025, HWiNFO64 and Precision both read 1.021.  
Under load (no extra voltage, just for testing) DMM 1.2v, GPU-Z 1.18v, Precision and HWiNFO64 1.175.  
For the next test, I simply overvolted to 1.225 in precision, no Overclock or load at all: DMM. 1.233v, GPU-Z 1.219v... HWiNFO64 and precision 1.021...
Overvolted to 1.225, No Overclock, with a load DMM: 1.25 (the extra .025mv is notorious to the 780Ti cards, and no surprise)!! GPU-Z 1.211 (so close)... Precision and HWiNFO64: 1.175 (nope)...
*last second test: Overvolt to 1.25v with no load: 1.261v GPU-Z: 1.244v (closest I have seen on any software) HWiNFO64 and Prec: 1.025
Overvolt to 1.25v under load: DMM 1.277 GPU-Z: 1.244v and HwINFO64 and Prec: 1.175v.
 
HWiNFO is not accurate.  It chooses, just like Precision, to display whatever it feels like.  This is the first time, with the updated GPU-Z, that I have seen ANY software read so close to the actual set voltage.  One more test. Going to set Prec to 1.3v and see what DMM and GPU-z say. 
DMM: 1.309v and GPU-Z reads out 1.296.  That is by far the best software read outs I have seen, so I highly suggest, from this moment on, to utilize GPU-Z and test out your cards that way.  Granted, if I were to put the card under load at 1.3v, it would read 1.325v at the DMM and 1.296 on GPU-Z, but that is still incredibly close (30mv difference) to what is reality.. 
 
 
Now, I am uninstalling 5.2.5 and reverting back to 4.2.1 for further test.  I am not overclocking, because the claim is that the overvolting isn't working.. which is clearly working just fine while all of the software is wrong.  I am pretty sure the overclock itself is tied to Precision, and the overvolting you are experiencing has nothing to do with your frustrations.  You may consider your card voltage locked in the bios, but I tested mine on the EVGA voltage locked bios, and as we can see, it works just fine.  I did push my cards up to 1.25v and was awarded a BSOD... LOL.. I am guessing that was the voltage lock screaming no, but I have no idea, as usually the drivers crash.
 
So Preliminary Run:
 
4.2.1 Stock settings
DMM reads 1.033v
precision 1.024v
HWiNFO64 1.025v
gpu-z: 1.021v
 
Overvolt to +75mV with no load:
DMM: 1.033v
Pre... just read the lines above, no change at all, on anything.
 
Overvolt to +75mV and underload.. Exactly the same.  No changes at all.  
 
I think your overclock is limited to the software, but the voltage is NOT your problem.  Please do note that when the Classified line came out, the overvolting in precision did nothing to help, and then was topped off with the low cap anyway.. If the user didn't have a EVBot, they could do nothing, so they resorted to the ClassyVoltage Tool software, that someone with a 10 pound brain made, and boom, better overvolting was allowed, which allowed for much better overclocking.
 
I have a feeling that 4.2.1 likes your cards for overclocking, but there may be some other form of magic working against you.  I can promise you, after testing this for the last hour now, that the voltage section works just fine. 
 
I would highly suggest moving the symptoms you are having over to the EVGA PrecisionX 16 5.2.5 bug report thread.. so that maybe they can catch the bug that is happening in your system.  There could be many things causing it, and there could even be someone else that helps you get the bug worked out that you are experiencing.  
 
If you would like me to test something else, just let me know.  I have almost all of the versions saved on my computer, and I can get the ones I don't have for further testing.  If you wish to have video, it will be cell phone video, until I can get the second system back up and running with a capture card.  I took a bunch of screen shots, but don't want to spam this thread just for this purpose.  The numbers clearly don't lie though, so I am not sure the pictures would help anyway.

z-cpu  versus e-leet which indications shall we belive? from my point on view e-leet is to be
taken in acount. E-leet is our overclocking and monitoring tool whithin windows.
