Just ran -100 vote for 1772mhz. Downloaded to 1759 in 20 secs. Voltage ran at 1.065v on its own. Voltage limit still 1.

Temps 50c. Fan 89%

Best I can do is 1671mhz and it drops to 1658mhz in 20 sec. 1.063v and still voltage limit 1.

Tried setting max volts at -200 and it used 1.082v I believe then after a min dropped to 1.072v still voltage 1.

So if something on this card was not programed wrong with whatever is controlling the amount of voltage to use at certain clocks (bios?), then I guess this card is a lemon.

Lemon for overclocking? Yep. Works fine under factory conditions? Yep.

Jacob says voltage limit 1 means it needs more voltage. If i run it at the max you can give it 1.094v at 1860 or even 1660mhz and it still says it needs more voltage to be happy, it's fine?

$750 bucks on there top tier 1080 card and that's to be expected and that passed the grade worthy of the classified model and it should be exceptable?

Is Jacob from evga saying this?

Jacob is wrong. Voltage limit = 1 means the card is being limited by voltage.

Voltage limit is determined by vbios/voltage controller on the card.

Meaning?? Voltage controller is unstable at that current voltage and is recommended to lower voltage for stability correct? Meaning it can't run whatecer speeds it is cause the voltage controller can't or is programed incorrectly or faulty right? Or something in the path is not good.

Also runing in overclocked mode in debug I don't get the temp or power limit at 1 like usual. Still wont run without lock ups at max voltage at 2000+. Not that I care. I'm only trying to get a stable clock like the first card that would never move cause of limits going off.

Voltage controller isn't unstable. I'm pretty sure the vbios on the card is set to limit voltage at 1.050v. So once you hit 1.050v it causes voltage limit 1.
