hi i have a gtx 660 SC from evga and i overclocked it and the core clock is 1202 pretty stable i have the power target at 110% using precision x and i was playing battlefield 3 and i saw that the core clock drops to like 1150,1084 sometimes and when it drops that low the power it was using was like 102% and 64% why is this?

Whatever you do, dont do this!!!
If you increase boltage be careful with that! That is how you ruin a card. Increase it by 5-10 mV at max at a time. If the card needs more power, increase it a bit more and repeat this process. Be stress testing as you go to make sure that it is stable.
 

Kepler cards are (stupidly) voltage locked. You can ask for a million volts and it will only give you 1.175.
