I have an EVGA GTX 1080 FTW. I was disappointed I couldn't squeeze more than 100MHz overclock out of it using EVGA's Precision XOC.
But then when I looked at the speed using either PXOC's overlay, or using the Superposition benchmark, it appears it's already clocked at 2GHz. It starts the benchmark run at 2012 MHz, then drops to 1974 as the heat increases. With the 100MHz overclock it was running at 2.1GHz.
I have played around a bit with overclocking software, but none of it is loaded at startup and I still see the 2GHz in Superposition without loading PXOC.
I understand that the boost clock is supposed to be 1860 MHz. Is there something in the card which 'saves' a previous overclock and implements it without running any additional software?
I'm running 388.59 Nvidia drivers and the 'GeForce Experience' if that makes any difference.
