Don't know about the 780's but can confirm my Titans now have access to 1.3v using it. I'll test a pair of 780 Classys with it tomorrow.
It was on my 780 but i dont have a stock bios so dont know if it works on a stock one, iirc 780ti's are not included as its a board restriction
Tbh they probably got fed up working with unwinder, he doesn't come across as the most endearing type of fella.
Even so if he did write the code and the just ripped it off of him then they deserve to be taken to court and forced to cough up compensation.
Also, everyone should read RagingCain's last few posts in here: http://www.overclock.net/t/1502290/guru3d-did-evga-just-steal-the-rivatuner-rtss-design-concept/0_50
PX 15 and Afterburner seem to be very dissimilar to each other in the code in pretty much everything. The similarities are in the naming of the menu tabs and such which was not cool at all but they admitted to it.

Yea, seems when saving fan profiles it can be a bit temperamental between auto and manual. Just got to make sure auto is checked when you've adjusted the fan curve as it seems to flick back to manual when you save to a profile.
Ya, that's the biggest issue I have seen reported. A guy on the EVGA forums also already killed a card because of that (but then again he was going for a steam achievement of the unrealistic core overclocks).

Should've been monitoring his temps with the overlay when testing anything like this to make sure everything's running under control.
As long as you make sure Auto is checked once you've customised a fan profile it's fine. I'm sure they'll sort it soon enough.

OK, got off my arse and tested for myself. 2x Gigabyte reference 780's from launch. Stock BIOS. Voltage control does indeed show as available all the way up to 1.3v Won't be going near that as my PSU probably isn't strong enough (Corsair AX850) but have just tested 2.25v and was able to get my GPU clocks up much higher. Firestrike now at +205, previous best was +170 and they could be more yet. Max draw at the wall was 718W, previous record is 720W but that was with a higher CPU overclock/volts. This was at my 24/7 4.3Ghz clock (i7 4930K).
Happy days Oh yeah, highest GPU temp was 48C, room ambient at 26C, max voltage draw shown via Precision X 1.243v Can hear a thunderstorm brewing outside so might have to leave further testing until tomorrow.

All i can say is, dont do it on evga cards. Yes theyll promise theyll honour warranty. Which is a major lie, the slightest bit of dust or fluff on your card, theyll turn your warranty down. Theyre so bad they make asus look good. I wouldnt buy a flash drive of evga never mind a £300.00 + gpu.
Is that due to the peep here who had an issue sending back what he claimed was a clean Mobo/GPU?
How do you know it was not filthy?
I for one clean something back to as if it were new to RMA it, does not matter if its a few months of normal dust and nothing to do with failure.
You must have never dealt with Asus support which is a joke BTW and in Asia not Germany where EVGA is (costly and slow to ship back).

I sent a fully working 680i board of to evga in germany for step up to 780i. Sent the board via rmsd, took pics of it cleaned with an air line. When it left my house it was sparkling clean. 2 months later, evga were in the middle of moving headquarters in germany. I got an email to say that my stepup was refused, due to brown dirt in the board. Which i knew to be a lie, they sent a 680i board back to me, not the one i had posted to them as i recorded serial numbers etc. Enquired about this via email, no response after a week i got a board back. Put the board back into my case, built my rig up only to find the board was dead. Once again i enquired with evga about what happened with my board, a month later got an email from one of their head guys in europe who replied with **** off and stop mailing us.
About 6/7 years ago iirc, when 680i then 780i were the boards evga were doing, bfg and a few other vendors were doing the same. All reference nv boards. I only went for the evga as it was the quad friendly A1 revision. Dont think Dominic was with evga at the time, see him on here regularly and he comes across as a pretty helpful guy. But my experience has put me off evga very badly.
I think ill just stick with asus for motherboards, excellent bios support. 1504 beta out on z87 for devils canyon cpu's, way before anyone else. Gigabyte for gpu's, ive owned 8 gigabyte gtx cards in the last two years. All have ran great, but if somethinbg does go wrong they have good uk based support.

As a software developer I don't have a problem with what evga have done. If you are selling bespoke or semi-bespoke software to a large business then you need to provide good service levels and make the software cheaper and better than they could do in-house. Unwinder has clearly failed on some of this or we wouldn't be in this situation, and this happens all the time in the business world.
