I attempted a fairly modest overclock of +100 and +135 on the core an memory clocks of my reference gtx 780 respectively for testing purposes and I cannot seem to go beyond that without the display drivers crashing. I see people with overclocks exceeding +180 and +300 respectively at times but I cannot reach anywhere close to those speeds despite having upped the voltage and power to the max amount. Is there a problem with my card or is this normal?

Note: I have a fairly rigorous fan curve set up and the temps have never gone beyond 70 C in game with the overclock, in case that might be an issue.
 


I understand but is there nothing I could do? Could this possibly be the caused by an inadequate PSU that is not able to supply the high voltage demands? I have the Corsair TX-750M in this build.
