In precision X it states that my GPU clock is set to 1010MHz, but only reads it as 999MHz. EVGA OC Scanner states that it is restricted to 999MHz, but when running stress test and benchmark testing CPU-Z shows the GPU clock is where I set it as 1010MHz. I don't think that EVGA Precison X or EVGA OC Scanner can read the true overclock as in game after setting the GPU clock to 1010MHz everything was much smoother and faster. I also have 2GB of RAM on card but scaled memory clock down to 2178. I have really good cooling right over the card (x2 120mm fans blowing right on it) and the temps are totally in check, but I don't want to fry my RAM either. Saying that you have the same card, set the GPU clock to 1010MHz, and then while running stress test or benchmark test see what CPU-Z or other monitoring program shows the true GPU clock to be. I think my system is allowing a 1010 overclock for some reason.
