I recently purchased my 1080 FTW and for some reason K Boost is completely missing in Precision X. Is anyone else having this issue? I'm really trying to enable K Boost because my card will not stay overclocked in certain games.

    R you sure you are using the proper precision x. Should b precision x OC for pascal. There are two different versions. latest version is 6.0.4

    Also in control panel you can change your power setting to performance under 3d settings. This will rum your card at max clock.

    I double checked and I do have the correct Precision XOC for Pascal. I also do have my power settings to prefer maximum performance. For some reason my GPU refuses to go above 1721 in maybe half of my games. Can you recommend anything else?

    By any chance are you using an AMD motherboard? If so this is a known issue and is being worked on.

    I have a Gigabyte GA-990FX motherboard. Are Gigabyte motherboards included in this future fix?

    That is an AMD board as he was asking.  It uses an AMD CPU, not Intel.  He didn't mean a board made by AMD.

    What use is knowledge if there is no understanding?~Stobaeus

    I updated my Geforce driver, uninstalled Precision X OC, restarted my computer, and reinstalled P XOC. Nothing has changed, K Boost is still missing and I still cannot overclock my games even with power settings set to prefer maximum performance. I thought the driver notes said supports the new GeForce GTX 10-series GPUs...

    Thanks for the update, looking into it. As mentioned this issue is related to the AMD chipset, and is a known bug.

    Update:
     
    You will need a GPU firmware update. We are working on this and will provide it soon.

    Okay that's fine, I can wait. I'm new to the overclock game. Is it normal to be able to overclock some games and others will not? Even with prefer maximum performance on...

    Yes, clocks can be different from game to game.

    New 1070 FTW. AMD motherboard, no Kboost and the dreaded undefined subvendor in GPU-Z. Any bios fix yet?

    Hi tomjulio and dm5kmwf,
     
    I can confirm that we do have a BETA BIOS available and we are working on sending it to both of you now.
     
    If anyone else needs help with this then please email me at chrisb@evga.com.

    Also just as a quick suggestion as we have had one customer tell us that the Windows 10 Anniversary update helped them with this issue.  
     
    Something to consider to see if it helps, if you are running Windows 10.

    Was hoping this would work, it did not. Updated to a fully patched Win 10 Anniversary Update as of 8/25/16. Same issues. No Kboost and still undefined subvendor.

    Why you want to use Kboost in the first place?

    Thank you for the update.
     
    I am very sorry for any confusion, as I do not have the update available for the GTX 1070 FTW at this time.  I assure you that we are working on having a BIOS available in the near future to assist.

    FIXED!!!

    Contact EVGA support. Today ( Aug 31, 2016) they emailed me a bios flash update for both master and slave that fixed my issues of having no Kboost in Precision X and also not displaying the subvendor in Tech GPUz.

    This is why I stick with EVGA for many products!
