I have 2 x EVGA GTX 680's SC. I have been using than for more than a year. They are outstanding cards. Generally i was running 2 profiles. 1 was stock with the power target at 100% and GPU/MEM Offset stock. 2 was power target 115% and GPU/MEM at 150/220 Offset.

When i game i was switch to profile 2. Today i updated the drivers to the latest one 331.82 and suddenly all went bang. No matter what i do the GPU Clock is stuck on 702Mhz. I tried everything, restoring windows, clean install on drivers, clean install on evga precision x, rollling back to the old drivers. But no Luck

Usually when i ran furmark for benchmarking purpose it was equally distributing the load on both cards. I check and double checked the SLI, but for some reason when i run furmark know it just puts the load on the second card and still both cards show 702Mhz. Funny thing was MSI's Kombustor was putting the full load on the 1st card only and it was also stuck on 702Mhz

3DMark 11 wont start any benchmark test. It just keeps on crashing. I tried playing Batman Origins on Ultra, Battlefeild 4 Ultra, COD Ghosts Ultra, SR4 Ultra, Assassins Creed Black Flag Ultra, All are working fine but the card is just stuck on 702Mhz

Anyhow i tried using the KBOOST feature of EVGA, It works in one session, and keeps the cards on the maximum core clock wether i am playing or not. If i shut my pc, restart and then go to KBOOST it wont work

KBOOST is the only time the clock changes to full capacity. Otherwise it is just a sitting duck on 702Mhz.

I have no clue as in why this is happening. Is that the cards have had to much and its time to change or its the bloody drivers driving them crazy

Appreciate your help guys
