^Interesting. Was using 4.2.1 myself a little while ago because of the startup bug present in all the recent versions and it felt like I had less input lag while gaming but it could easily have been placebo as I didn't measure it. The only reason I don't use that version now is because K-Boost is a little bugged with it and I don't like fiddling with my clock speeds to fix it everytime I switch from work to gaming or vica versa. Does anyone know of another method to force max boost clocks like K-Boost without modifying bios? I'd like to retain the ability to switch back to adaptive mode easily when I'm not gaming considering the energy saving states on these GPUs are nice and green.
Waiting on the Precision X dev(s) is useless. Custom bios is the way to go. No third party bs, adaptive clockspeeds low load, max boost while gaming.

So this might not be the right place to be posting this, but I have two 980 Ti Classified's that I'm currently overclocking with MSI Afterburner. I tried switching over to Precision X as I heard about the "Overboost" feature. What I'm confused about is what exactly that feature does. It seems that you can have both overvolting and "overboost" enabled at the same time, but am I incorrect in saying that they achieve the exact same thing with overboost simply having a larger range of voltages? Does overboost just supercede the overvolting settings on Classified and KPE cards? The interface makes it insanely confusing. If there's someone out there who can confirm or deny my suspicions, it would be highly appreciated.

Overvolt is required for overboost. Overboost is only available on the classified and higher tier cards that are voltage unlocked. It doss seem redundant, but to get overboost to work, overvoltage has to be enabled.. weird, yes.. On another not, overvoltage changes nothing if you measure with a Digital Multimeter at the Probe it points. When you adjust overboost, it goes to the overboost level and locks there. It is important to monitor your voltage to verify it doesn't go crazy honestly. It is usually good at being close, but software is never correct compared to hard point voltage monitoring.

Okay, cool. So would I be correct in saying that all overboosting is is an expanded range for overvolting?

Yes indeed. Again, just for other clarification, it is only available for high tier models like the Classy and KPE.

So one more dumb question. Are your OV settings irrelevant when you have OB enabled?

I have tested it tons of times with a multimeter.. Overvolt is irrelevant on every card I have used.. overboost is always very close to accurate. I honestly tested this tons of times, and changed overvoltage from +12mv to +83mv, and nothing changes at the card. Change overboost to 1.2v, and the card goes to 1.21 or so. Set it to 1.3v and it goes to 1.31 or so.. That is with 780 classifieds, 780ti classifieds, 980 K|ngp|ns.. I have never measured the voltage on a reference card to see if it was relevant on there, but I assume it may work on standard cards since they can not use overboost.

Hi,
The PrecisionX Server OSD is not working properly since v5.3.2. The OSD data displays the following programs: Daum Potplayer (v1.6.56209), Java Control Panel (v8 update 65), Nvidia Control Panel (in the part of "adjust image settings and preview"), Mozilla Firefox (x64 v42 beta8, when i set a custom home page). I set these programs to the exclude lists (both x86 and x64 Server OSD), but it doesn't work. Or i do something badly?

Whenever I try to install the new 5.3.8 version it says successfully installed but when I open up precision x it still shows it to be the 5.3.7 version. Anyone help me out with this???

Just something I've discovered since using 5.3.8 recently. If I have Precision X loaded when I attempt to watch videos in the "NFL on Windows" Windows 10 App it crashes every time. Shutting down Precision X allows me to watch the videos. I'm not sure if this would affect other WinRT applications but thought it was worth mentioning.
