Hey guys.....well I am at a loss so im reaching out to the people!
I have an Asus Direct CU2 780, its a lovely card and has exceeded my expectations BUT.... i'm toying around with overclocking and I cant for the life of me get the thing to behave.
Im using windows 7 64bit and playing with msi afterburner btw...
An observation I have made since owning this card is idle clock since the beginning of ownership is 888mhz
So I have done all the normal things, increase temp,power,voltage limits in afterburner and then try to creep the core clock up but no matter what i pick if its +10 or +150 on the core it will go up to this value for an unpredictable amount of time then just fall back to 1006mhz. Also if i pick +110 it will go to 1150 then back to 1008 but then i have to input +150 to make it jump to 1150 and it will fall back to the same 1008mhz. If its relevant I have folding@home going while doing this so the card is loaded and I can adjust things and see if its being applied. I have tried the same process with benches running and its 100% the same unpredictable results
Last night I updated to the most recent driver and I noticed then that at idle my card fell to around 370mhz and would boost to whatever i told it to, I ran folding, valley, heaven, occt, all the things and holy crap it was working 1150mhz totally fine, temps good, zero issues.
I went to bed and today with no changes its back to its old tricks.
Unfortunately I was too stoked with the change I didn't pay attention to voltages ect like a noob but as I said its back to its old tricks.
I have removed/reinstalled afterburner, Nvidia drivers ect (through their regular uninstallers) several times and once again today but no change....
Please guys im going to be here all day and I would really appreciate your thoughts and input on just what the hell is going on, I know this card is capable of more and I have witnessed it working as I feel it should
If you need any extra information just let me know
