Hi there folks.
I am running Ubuntu Linux with 6 GTX 1070s and am having some problems overclocking my GPUs. See below output:
owocki@owocki-desktop:~$ nvidia-smi -i ${i} -pl 170
Failed to set power management limit for GPU 0000:01:00.0: Insufficient Permissions
Terminating early due to previous errors.
owocki@owocki-desktop:~$
owocki@owocki-desktop:~$ sudo !!
sudo nvidia-smi -i ${i} -pl 170
Power limit for GPU 0000:01:00.0 was set to 170.00 W from 170.00 W.
 
 
 
Warning: persistence mode is disabled on this device. This settings will go back to default as soon as driver unloads (e.g. last application like nvidia-smi or cuda application terminates). Run with [--help | -h] switch to get more information on how to enable persistence mode.
 
 
 
All done.

Here are the specs of my rig:

Can anyone tell me what I might do to get my GPUGraphicsClockOffset and GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset to update?
Thanks,
@owocki

    Figured this out. For anyone finding this via google, reposting from a reddit/r/nvidia thread where I got the answer.
    ```
    You may need to update your driver, latest linux is 375.20, pascal overclocking was introduced in 370.x, and it seems you are using 367.57.
    ```
