Aside from setting the flag to advanced, you could:
Use MSI Afterburner to overclock the GPU and memory; and cap the power of the GPU.
A 5% performance loss, but technically possible to reduce power consumption by up to ~30% on the GPU.
It works especially well when the GPU is watercooled.
Or,
You could run your folding app from Linux (a ~10% boost).
Both in Linux and Windows you can overclock while at the same time power capping.
While overclocking allows your shaders to run at ~2Ghz, the PPD gain is less than 10%.
Instead cap the power, overclock, and aim for a ~1700-1900Mhz boost frequency. It's the optimal setting for GTX 1000/ GTX 16000 / RTX 2000 series GPUs.
The performance penalty from capping power on a 1080 should be around 100-150k PPD, but with the power saved, you could easily run another GPU (without needing to swap out the PSU) in most cases.
