I switched to the slave BIOS on the 1080 FTW and noted my power target remains maxed at 120% but there is a new Voltage Bar to the left hand side of the precision X utility. I had ready on forum that we needed to be on the slave BIOS for 130% power target but that appears to be not an option. Further what's the ideal voltage setting on the left hand side?

sure you got the right precision installed? you need/should be using the XOC version http://www.evga.com/precisionxoc/ voltage slider to 100% if you going gaming :) switch slid to right for the 130 power limit i don't use it so i don't suppose you will find any benefit for it either?

I'm using the one one Steam actually ; looks to be the same; it is version 6.0.9 http://store.steampowered.com/app/268850/?snr=1_5_9__205 I slid my switch to the left, with the backplate facing me. I made sure to take a light and confirm I was sliding from master to slave Bios (there's tiny text markings Some notes; I maxed out the Voltage at 100% on the left, and was stable at 1075 mv there was a brief spike up to 1081 running Unigine Heaven. KBOOST not enabled at this time; Current OC is 100 Core 200 VRAM Reason I'm using the 2ndary BIOS; I'm looking at the custom BIOS for a more stable and higher OC. I can run 100/200 on the default BIOS fine, so I'm mostly trying to get the extra 20-30 mhz of performance on this. Display driver will crash at 110 core OC on the the master BIOS at 120% power limit.

steam version is the same as standalone, i went off steam version as it wouldn't autostart when machine booted had to open steam then open XOC bit long winded as time is money :D my 1080ftw only oc clocks up by +45 and memory clocks up to +800 without K not tried it with K on, your stable voltage should be 1.081 when gaming or benching and top is 1.094 that's where it should sit, i'm sure that the slave bios is based on the founders bios, but don't quote me on that :) no custom bios as far as i am aware for 1080ftw and i doubt there will be for a long while, the gpu limit is 1.094v max no mater what you do, sure i read somewhere it's got to do with the 16nm process just out of interest have you pads fitted? and flashed new bioses?

Did you restart your machine after switching vbioses? If no, you need to restart your computer. Sometimes restarting doesn't make it work so you'll need to shutdown your computer and pull the power plug from the wall and wait 30 seconds while pushing the power button on your computer tower to drain the power completely from your system. If the power drain doesn't get it working you may need to re-install precision x.

I think I did one better, I switched it to slave before even booting up my PC. I'll completely power down the PC, restart again to see. So out of curiosity, voltage at 100% is safe right? The little bit of red on the final 30% from 70 to 100% is a bit disconcerting. :) Also I guess OC mhz on slider is not as useful for comparison's sake, so I'll note I can get my card to run stable at 2063 so far. Was 2050 on master. This is just by boosting voltage, since I can't change the power limit yet.

Everything inside precision x is safe to adjust.

huzzah, complete power down fixed it. Thanks man :)

Ooops missed your question upthread; New BIOS is in for both master and slave, confirmed with GPU-Z Pads already in place when I received it from EVGA. This is an RMA card
