Hello, I've been trying to overclock my FTW card with little success. I tried in Precision XOC but gave up and switched to Afterburner (latest beta4). I've tried more-or-less everything and can't get more than 100 or so on the memory and 20 on the core - that's with all the correct options ticked and the 120% power limit/+100% voltage. I had no issues overclocking my old GTX 970 cards, and the 1080 doesn't go much above 65 degrees. Does anyone have the same card + CPU? Or any advice in general? ps: I've been overclocking my CPUs and GPUs for over ten years with more success than this card.

Silicon lottery... What is your final boost clock? 2000MHz? Some chips simply can't overclock that high and the FTWs are already boosting pretty high.

50-100 mhz is like 1fps-2fps the card is already overclocked from factory... Don't see the point. If you would have said 250-500 on the core and 500-1000 on memory. Well that's another story.

I have read in a few forums that flashing your card with a FE bios makes for better overlclocking.

What? That's idiotic. They're not the same cards and it's likely that would cause the 1080 FTW to be turned into an expensive paperweight.

This. There are some folks here on the forum that can't crack 2000Mhz with the FTW. I don't bother OC'ing my FTWs for gaming; it's only good for synthetic score increases IMO. I turn up the power target and let Boost 3.0 do what it does.

Reduce your voltage to 50% or even just stock. See how that works out...

It's a dual BIOS card, so even if it doesn't work out... your scenario isn't possible.

From what I've seen many of the 1080s, even the custom PCB ones, are only getting to 2000-2100 MHz. Getting a custom card with additional power delivery and phases doesn't seem to be providing much if any benefit. You simply have to pray to the Silicon God.

IchigoSoulReaper Have you tried leaving the voltage at default? My 1080 FTW is super stable with these settings on precision XOC 6.0.3: power target: 120% (priority) temp target 92 celsius gpu clock offset +70 mhz mem clock offset +450 mhz auto fan default voltage
Just tried that (although temp. max. at 88) and it's the voltage being even 1% extra that appears to be the cause of issues. Thanks!

Always make sure to post your final boost clocks, since all cards boost to different frequencies, a +50MHz on your card may be over 2000MHz.

Awesome man I'm glad that worked! Yeah turning up the voltage at all causes instability issues for me as well. EVGA_JacobF Always make sure to post your final boost clocks, since all cards boost to different frequencies, a +50MHz on your card may be over 2000MHz.
Great point. +70 mhz gets me a stable 2000-2038 mhz. If I overclock more to 2050 and above it starts causing issues here and there. Honestly I'm very happy with the overclock. As some have pointed out, the gains in FPS become minimal past this point.

Thanks man. This post really helped. Getting good scores on 3DMark now 7221.

Using MSI afterburner, I get to 2050 stable. Sometimes it goes up to 2070. Sometimes it drops to 2038. But as one other user said, the difference in fps is almost negligible. For me, this is what works. power target: 120% temp target: 92 gpu offset +70 mem offset +400 70% fan curve default voltage Two benchmarks for you at 1440P max settings. Rise of the Tomb Raider: 87fps (w/OC); 84fps (w/o OC & boost 3.0 to 1974) Batman Arkham Knight: 78fps (w/OC); 74fps (w/o OC & boost 3.0 to 1974)

Like Jocob said that you should post your final boost clock, you should just post your Graphics Score in 3dMark and not overall. Overall result also contains your CPU (physics score).

I would give Afterburner a try. Once removing any voltage change, I managed to achieve a high overclock when compared to Precision XOC.
