I tried both Asus tweek II and MSI afterburner, both top out at 104%, why? and is there a way to raise it to 130%?
It was 130% when I had the Vega 56 installed, when I replaced it with the MSI 1080 Gaming X it changed to 104%

Asus probably locked it on purpose to avoid damage, I think Nvidia caps there reference/Founders at 120%. I've heard you could flash a custom BIOS onto the card to raise the power limit but I don't know too much about it and unless the card has a dual BIOS I'd probably avoid doing so as you probably don't want to ruin the GPU for a few more FPS.

You didn't read the whole paragraph, I said I used both MSI afterburner and Asus tweak 2, when I was using a vega 56 I could raise it to 130%, after replacing the vega 56 with the msi 1080 gaming x and replaced the amd display drivers with nvidia drivers both overclocking utilities power target changed to 104%

You can't damage the card by overclocking it to high, it will just not work, display drivers will lock or stop working before the gpu gets damaged, and no I will not mess the gpu bios!

My bad but the point still stands, MSI may of locked it at 104% and the only way for bypassing it would be a BIOS flash. You could try EVGA PrecisionX but I doubt it's going to give you different results then what you've gotten from Asus/MSI.

Thanks guys
Btw I've overclocked the GPU by 180mhz stable, but if memory is overlooked more than 300mhz it fails, I can overclock the memory by 700mhz have not tried it higher, so the GPU is at 150over and stable, I believe if I can raise the power target to just 110% I could have both clocks stable at higher, but I think they did that so we would not make the 1080ti absolete.
