I received another BIOS to try out, but unfortunately I am still encountering the same voltage limit and losing clock speed. 

Yup you will, its hardware not software that's causing the flag to raise (I assume). Obv software is reading the register etc. Are you sure it wasn’t up before you had touched the card BIOS?
 
That’s why I'd like to have either an engineer or someone who has spoken to a tech guy who can explain exactly what this flag is for and what raises it. However, as far as I can tell you will only lose 13MHz against other cards etc. that do not raise this flag. I would assume it is a variance within hardware components which cause this flag to go up or not.
 
Could be completely wrong though so a formal explanation would be really nice.
 
As I said before though on my card I can hit a stable +150 core and have tried +400 on mem and everything works fine. The card settles (running heaven) at around 2122MHz down from 2160MHz so arguably with my silicone I could hit 2135MHz without this flag going up. Which of course relates to less than a frame per second.
 
Also, as I think I said the original card I had could not go 1MHz above 2100MHz. 2096-8 or something was fine 2100+ crash not matter what, but had no voltage flag raised. So.. I'm happy really. Just want to know what it is.
 
EDIT: previewing is hard

I'm gonna go ahead and put the issue to rest. I've gotten decent overclocks and not having stability or temp issues. I think that it's more of a curiosity now to figure out what is causing it. I'm at +180 on my core and +600 on mem and was able to hit a 99fps average with temps staying below 62C at 80% fan speed.

I'll take it.

Yup my card is similar on temps @%70-%73 fan speed (67°C) but only at +150 (seems max for mine, but hey anything over 2100MHz is a win) mem could probably go higher haven't tried yet. But as you say would be very helpful to understand what this is.

You're 100% certain you didn't see this on the original vbios? I have two titan xp's, one hits the voltage limit constantly when gaming while the other doesn't. I'm think about flashing my titan xp's to see if I can get the issue to go away.

The flag means you've currently hit the limit set within the vbios.

Hmm interesting. If thats the case, whats going on? The value cannot be hard coded (so every VBIOS is the same) if your twin cards behave differently.

Hello ComXERO,
 
I read that you have an AMD mainboard and were assisted by EVGA in order to update your graphics card. I also have an AMD MB, i´ve already sent a contact e-mail to EVGA, yet did not receive any answer. So here my question: what is exactly required in order to get the new firmware in the graphics card when having an AMD MB? Is it a special BIOS version? Or are there any special steps required, apart from just running the updater? If you could please inform me what were the steps suggested by the EVGA technician, this would be very helpful. I´m a experienced PC user (more then 30 years using PCs) and quite confident that i will understand the process, if roughly described. If preferred, you may also answer per Private Message.
 
Thanks in advance.

Flashed one of my titan x's with both vbioses from both my titan xp's. No dice. If you want this fixed you'll need to rma.

Don't even know what it is though (apart from the obvious). Is it RMA worthy, that is is it an actual unintended function? under 1.096?

It's rma worthy if you're looking to squeeze every single MHz out of your card for benchmarking purposes. If you're just gaming I wouldn't rma.
