Hi, I had my card stable with a +95 core that would boost to 2113. After the bios update I noticed that my card no longer boosts over 2025... I'm on 375.76 driver and precision xoc to 6.0.9. Anybody else had this problem? Thanks.

After the new bios, I would fully remove and reinstall the video card driver and afterburner /xoc. Make sure you power/temp sliders are setup properly in afterburner/xoc. Lastly it could be that the latest bios actually has lower power states (voltage states) that are holding your card back

Hello, Yes I did that, sorry I wasn't clear on my first post. I updated both primary and secondary BIOS, rebooted when required. Then I updated to the latest (at the time) nvidia driver 375.76 with a clean install and updated to precision xoc 6.0.9. The sliders are correct, If I use the "K" button, the core boosts to 2025, if I move the slider while in "K" mode and press apply then the core updates! But that is not a sollution, does not matter what I put in the sliders, after I enter a game, the max it will boost is always 2025... Prior to the BIOS update this was not the behavior. This could be a coincidence and could also be from the new drivers or new precision... I was just wondering if any of you guys noticed similar behavior or if my card is acting out. Thank you.

Doubt the vbios update had anything to do with this. GPU boost can fluctuate depending on many factors.

I agree, however just updated to the new driver version, 375.95 and the problem persists. Before updating my clock would boost normally to 2113 using the "K" button on precision. Now it wont past 2025... something changed.

Go back to the older driver that allowed you to run at 2113? If you believe the vbios is the problem you could always reflash the original vbios (primary) using nvflash.

I'm going to try the previous driver. If that does not work I'll try the original bios. I'll post the results soon. Thanks

What application/benchmark were you running when you achieved 2113MHz?

I used heaven to test it out, the "K" button on precision also worked, and pretty much any recent game that pushed the card would boost at some point to 2113. Now when I go to hardware monitor to check the highest the core goes is to 2025 that is the original factory value my card had without any overclock.

It seems to be a problem with Precision XOC, I tried with afterburner and the card boosted normally to 2114, (I previously stated it was 2113 but that was my mistake). Tried removing precision e reinstalling, configured the profiles again and it started boosting correctly on heaven benchmark. If I use the "K" button on precision, it starts again boosting only to 2025 and even after turned off, heaven benchmark won't get past 2025. Note to self, no longer press "K" button on precision :)
