same problem here, can't go above 117% power on my ftw3 on slave nios with power limit set to 127% with priority and gpu is throttling... if sombody found somthing let us know please!

Is it power limit throttling, or is GPU boost 3.0 just doing it's thing? Have you checked the GPUz sensors tab to see if it's power limit throttling?

Same exact issues I'm seeing right now. Did everything possible to un-install, re-install using DDU, AND AND a Clean OS install on the bench. Still not getting 127% what so ever. Difference in benchmark scores is with-in 1% margin of error. Running the ECHO Batch file shows the power limit set at 355W. GPU-Z shows power throttling at 117% AVG and peaking just above at 118-119% but never touching 127% or above. BIOS is the 1.90. It's as if the Slave BIOS isn't doing anything but unlocking a slider to 127% but does nothing for actual OC results. Using Superposition 4K Optimized: Exploring further: Seems +0 Core, +612 Memory shows around 106-108% Power Limit, but still hits power limit in both GPU-Z and PX HWM panel a few times. If you run just a +78 Core, there's no power limit tripped. Hits around 110-111% max. If using both +78 Core and +612 Memory, it hits Power limit alot at 117% even though everything is showing 127% in the BIOS choosen. So apparently 127% doesn't do anything. Results are quite similar once back on Master 117% BIOS.

Same here. There is the GPU-Z when running Firestrike Ultimate The clock should be 2050MHz (max) and it should never drop under 2000MHz at this temperature, yet the card power throttles and goes down under 2000MHz at 113%-117% even though the power limit is set to 127%. Also, the voltage drops to 1.000V-1.012V from the max 1.062V. imgur.com/K3X1zOK I wonder if it is worth it to do the shunt mod

The shunt mod will most likely fix the problem. Note: If you short the card out while doing the shunt mod your cards warranty will be void.

From what I read around when I was trying to maximize my performance on my FE card, is that Pascal has a hard power/voltage limit cap due to GPU boost 3.0. Once you hit this voltage ceiling, the card automatically throttles to keep it under. So you end up bouncing up and down the limiter.
I'm not sure how much EVGA has changed the BIOS on the FTW3.
From what I seen that it is better to undervolt and get consistent clockspeeds on Pascal. Compared to a high peak clockspeed, but inconsistent dips. I have gotten higher scores undervolted on superposition and firestrike.

Yeah, the risk is definitely there and that's why I am hesitant to do it. I also have to consider that I will have to cool extra heat by allowing the card to use more power which may results in the same clock speed due to how GPU Boost 3.0 works if I don't want to become deaf due to high fan speeds.

I have an ftw 3 also and even though I have 127% power my gpu throttles at 117% and I have it on max perf. and everything, this is not my first time over clocking. What was the point of giving us 127% if we cannot get that far with out the card throttling. I noticed in Titan fall 2 it was doing that, it hit 118% once and it throttled back instantly. Is this an EVGA issue or Nvidia limitation driver issue ?

I have an interesting observation (maybe). Firestrike Ultimate Graphics test 1 hits the power limit easily so I tested this: Test 1.)+37MHz core -502MHz VRAM 127% PWR GPU never dipped below 2000MHz and stayed at 2012MHz-2025MHz most of the time with occasional spikes to 2037MHz. GPU-Z showed the card hitting the PWR limit and vREL at the same time. Test 2.)+37MHz core +0MHz VRAM 127% PWR GPU was most of the time on 1987MHz-2000MHz with occasional dips to 1974MHz and spikes to 2012MHz. GPU-Z showed the card hitting only the PWR limit Test 3.)+37MHz core +700MHz VRAM 127% PWR GPU pretty much never goes above 1987MHz and usually stays at 1962MHz with dips even below that. GPU-Z showed PWR limit. In each of these tests, the GPU-Z showed 117.9% TDP max. _____________________ Then I tried each test with 118% PWR and the core clocks went actually down in each test by 12-25MHz and now even the Test1 was entirely PWR limited. GPU-Z showed max PWR to be 115.8%. ______________________ Now with 100% PWR (only the test 3). The clocks were significantly lower. Most of the time in the low to mid 19xxMHz range with some dips below 1900MHz. But GPU-Z showed the max PWR to be 106.1% TDP hmm... _______________________ My conclusionThe PWR slider in the MSI Afterburner/Precision X definitely works. I am quite sure the PWR limit is 127% working as intended and I think that GPU-Z is spewing out incorrect PWR read outs.

Problem is throttling. As it hits the limit it throttles quite harsh. So you can't really see the maximum power value. Max. power on the screenshot was 345W, which is 123% TDP, but GPU-Z reports only max. 121%TDP for the entire run.

I had no idea about the NVIDIA-SMI. There is mine: +50MHz Core -502MHz VRAM PWR Limit 127% under the red line Firestrike Ultimate loop: +50MHz Core +700MHz VRAM PWR Limit 127%  And then I let the loop run again and checked the power limit and max spikes.  I don't know. The power limit is 358W but the card power throttles before it can reach it at around 315-330W... I don't understand why though :/ I also want to make it clear that the card was under 60*C with fans at 100% so it definitely doesn't downclock because of temperature. I guess the card is power limited to spikes never exceed 127% power limit, not to deliver continuously 27% more power. Of course, we also have to take in mind that this is software measurement, actually checking with the multimeter may give us very different results. @AdamInk I cannot reply to your PM because I don't have 10 posts on this forum yet, sorry :(

@herr_barus & TheWereCat You guys should try running the superposition benchmark on the 8k preset to see if you guys can hit your max limits or not. That is what I did to hit the limits on my cards.

I hit the power limit in GTA V in 4K (chilling in the bunker).
I don't care what the card do in benchmarks. ;)

346 isn't the limit. 355 is the limit.

In my opinion this is an EVGA problem. They provide 2 different bios options(one with a higher power limit). It should work as intended but apparently it's not.

Would EVGA like to acknowledge this at least? We are scratching our heads here  Edit: Added picture for proof I am down clocking at 116% in rainbow 6 siege when something demanding happens
