Hello I am new to overclocking GPU's and have a few questions. I recently upgraded my PC and now have two EVGA gtx 660's in SLI. They are both the superclocked editions but one is from Best Buy and their version was clocked a little higher. The first card is at 1046 mhz and the best buy card is at 1059 mhz. I would like to have them running at the same speed even though I know it would not matter much. I have GPU-Z and MSI afterburner installed. I overclocked the 1059 card one mhz more to 1060 and the 1046 card to 1060 also. When I open GPU-Z it correctly shows the GPU clock of both cards at 1060 mhz. However when i actually look at the GPU graphs for both cards in afterburner and GPU-Z it shows the cards running at their designed speeds of 1046 and 1059. This has me quite confused as I want to know if my cards are overclocked??? Thanks for any help you can provide!!!

Thanks,

Chris

Did you set the overclock to apply on start up? If you didn't the cards will reset to their factory speeds. After you do that restart your computer and check the programs again to see if they show the correct speed. This is most likely a software problem rather than a hardware problem.
