Hey there, 
 
have a question about Evga Precision software.
 
I bought my 1080s for some archviz rendering with Octane Render. I tried to overclock them (fairly successfully to cca 2100 MHz on core) with the MSI Afterburner software, after i read somewhere that Precision was somewhat buggy for Pascal cards - might not be the case anymore or perhaps never was.
 
Anyway, to my surprise i found out, when running Octane, the VRAMs actually dont run at their usual stock 5000/5005 MHz speed, only 4511 MHz. After doing some research i found out it has something to do with some VRAM states (P0 and P2) and apparently CUDA apps like Octane run only in the P2 state with lower clocks. This actually is bit annoying, cause it does actually have its fair share of influence on performance.
 
Sadly Afterburner does not differentiate between P0 and P2 states. So when i OCed the VRAMs + 409MHz, it reads now 4920MHz in Octane and 5410MHz in Unigine Valley benchmark... If i OCed higher to get past 5000 in Octane (which is something i would want), it would go to 6000 in games, which would very likely not work and crash the computer.
 
So my question is, does Evga Precision differentiate between P0 and P2 states and would allow me to OC the VRAM for each state separately? I actually dont even care to have the VRAMs OCed for gaming (for now),  but i would really love to run the VRAMs as fast as possible with Octane. If Precision soft does not allow this, can we have this functionality, please?
 
Many thanks
