It really has been bothering me to find out why low clock cards like mine and Sajin's (USMC's too, albeit you can actually hit 2200 peak) can get higher scores than those that boost 2200+ out of the box. I will say, though, yes, those that do clock higher on average also are the ones getting the ridiculous 15.6k+ scores, however, it seems the theory that higher average clocks directly correlate with higher PR scores is out the window. I hit 15.1k with an average of 2,130mhz, but Soldier is scoring 500 points less with a 2,215mhz average.
It'd also be interesting to know how that translates into something like game fps too. Would the card with average higher clocks or higher PR scores create better frames?
I think the problem is MSI Afterburner. I uninstalled it and used X1 with the same tweaks in classified tool. Score 15,404

I also discovered that with OCP enable, the card would draw 450W max. Core clocks and voltage are the same. With OCP off, it's 490-500W and higher score.
I keep OCP on, and I still get 520-530 watts no problem. This should not matter. From what another user said, this will not serve a real purpose unless you are actually on LN2.
I don't know what else to tweak to try and get the clock to run higher. I'm at 1.15 NVVDD and anything over 150 core wont pass. But it was like that before using classy as well.
