The Clockdrop is due to higher temperatures with the XOC Bios, If the temperatures rises the clock drops. Without XOC Bios my Ftw4 Ultra saw a max of 70 degrees, with xoc bios i saw it to go as high as 80 degrees
With or without the XOC BIOS, my max temp is the same. Only difference is the lowest it now down clocks to with XOC is 2115 vs 2085 on the other bios (tested in same game). This is with a +105 offset in both cases which should puts me at 2145 (my stock boost was 2040). I just want it to stay there.
As you can see on the previous page, Sajins load temp is the same as mine, yet his core clock is a straight line.
It's the lottery of silicon, my ftw3 ultra can do 2175 mhz stable for example in call of duty vanguard and 2160 mhz in games with ray tracing (metro exodus and cp2077) with bios xoc v2.
but it is not a bad card, surely there are worse and better ones that do 15-45mz more, keeping those mhz by air is great.
Do your clocks fluctuate a lot? Can you keep it at 2160mhz? I might try setting a more aggressive fan curve (currently have 100% at 80C) to see if it helps. Could possibly bring it to under 65C load.
Yes CP2077 is very quick at exposing instability for me. More so than Metro Exodus.

I dunno but in my case I haven't run anything insane like Furmark (and don't plan to) to hit absolute max power draw. I just played the same game (RDR2) for 3 hours where it only reaches around 488w on the xoc bios I believe.
The only benchmark I've run on the XOC bios so far was Timespy Extreme where it did hit around 500w but only reached 65C.
