So i have this card: EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SC GAMING
 
 
And my NVIDIA control panel shows that debug mode is enabled and grayed out:
 

 
GPU Z shows those readings:
 

 
My question is - is everything ok? I understand that this option is disabled for my card right? And its not downclocked in any way? Since im sure it was unchecked before. I even reinstaled the drivers [deleted the completly with ddu in safe mode and made a frsh new instalation] but its still the same.

    Just to clarify here, that's not true.  My debug mode is not greyed out using driver 378.49.

    Not on all cards.
    My GTX 1080s are Checked & Grayed Out and my GTX 980s on two different rigs are not!
    Odd Driver, I can still overclock without issues.

    I believe the debug mode is triggered by nonstandard clocks and or a modified BIOS from the reference model. So, with the 1050Ti SC model he should see the debug option available and unchecked.

    I just check on my GTX 1080 and set OCX to the Default on Both GPU and they are still Checked & Grayed Out.
    The So this seems to be an issues with Pascal Cards.
    Another item to note is that NVIDA has added a new setting on this Driver only for the Maxell GPUs. Link

    Debug mode should only be available to card with factory overclocks. If your card model has reference clock speeds there will be no debug mode available.

    Good to know thank you.
    My GTX 1080 Cards are P/N: 08G-P4-5180-KR so that is why mine are Checked & Grayed Out.
    My GTX 980 are Hybrids and HC Models and are both fine.

    hmm, my debug mode is grayed out with my GTX 1080 FTWs, which do have a factory OC.
     
    I do have two of those cards however, wonder if that's a factor? both are factory OCed to FTW speeds
    also on 378.49, installed with "clean install" option, but nothing advanced like DDU or anything "super-clean" (tend to avoid that unless there's a problem, not something I do by default)
    SLI disabled for folding reasons.

    I always do a clean install.  Not greyed out here.

    Yes, but the OP has a SC card and therefore debug mode should be available.

    Using a DDU and doing a Clean Install will make no difference, I do this between each driver version and on the Pascal Reference or Stock Clock Cards it stays the same. Checked & Grayed Out.
    Only an FYI Post.
