i have two 780ti SC EVGA cards NON-OC'ed, and i was playing bf4 just now and saw that my OV max limit would hit 1 for a little while and then go back down to 0 for a little while, and then go right back up to 1. It also goes up to 1 when I hit the windows keys to go to desktop and click back into the game. Along with this, sometimes my voltage limit for both gpu's goes straight to 1 from 0. It remains at 0 when not playing games of course. For my top GPU, its pretty common for my Voltage limit to stay at 1 alot of the time. is this normal? my temps are in the 70's with fan speed at 79%. Could this be a mobo issue not doing SLI correctly? The top GPU is new.

Solution
Nvidia's card automatically clock higher until they reach one of 3 limits: temperature, TDP, or voltage. That is perfectly normal, it just means that your cards are at the max voltage that Nvidia allows them to draw.

alright, so another question. whenever i enable or disable SLI, my core clock/s get stuck at 549mhz. they go back down to 324mhz whihc is normal, but they only go up to 549mhz unless I restart. any idea why?

the newest one. 340.52 its happened on the 337.88 driver as well. Now could this be a mobo issue not configuring SLI correctly?
