I know you have a dual bios however some custom bios's could damage your card and it might not be under warranty.
Bricking your card is not the only consequence.

I have a 1440p 165 monitor and these days I keep my gpu at stock speeds because I don't think the noise is worth the small fps increase for the GTX 1080.

what is your card boosting to user load? Because if you're are already boosting to 2000 mhz there is not more you can get out of a gtx 1080.

Overclocking is much more beneficial for a Titan x Pascal because it has more cuda cores and the stock speed is lower however it's possible to get similar speeds as the 1080 when overclocking a Titan x pascal.
 
It boosts to 1860mhz stock pulling around 1.078v, so there's room to grow considering the max power allowance of 1.2v, but like you said, it's just not necessary. I did some more research on how you mentioned that you have to tweak the frequency slightly and stuff and how certain higher frequencies does not necessarily lead to higher performance, so I learned some more stuff about overclocking in general. One thing I do know is that +90mhz on the core and +230mhz on the memory gives me about 250 more points in 3dmark, so I saved that particular profile for the future.

My hypothesis is that most of the gains from overclocking a 1080 has to do more with overclocking the memory rather than the core.
 
Great ! Have fun Gaming!

I don't think Overclocking the memory will make a huge difference in Gaming however overclocking the Memory + Core clock will certainly improve the synthetic benchmarks such as Fires Strike...
 


Seems to be WHQL means nothing...

 
I know. And there were at least 2 screw ups earlier this year. One was so bad there were rumors it was killing cards. Nvidia used to be on top of the driver game. They need to step it up.
 
I installed it and was playing State of Decay and getting shearing. I was like, "Wait a minute, I've played this game for over 400 hours and it never did this before." 😛 Most of the reports of trouble were from 1xxx series card owners but my 980 Ti didn't like it either.
 
I think I have the version before that, good to know. Little disappointed that Geforce experience requires a login now. I rather liked having it check for new drivers, but this time it worked out.

 
news has slowed down but i admit i have been extremely busy and have been neglecting things. been unable to read as much as i was so i could drop nice tidbits of rumors.

i have not had time to complete the 1050 (ti) card models either. been in and out of town and with the holidays coming i am swamped with custom builds and upgrades for clients. i have parts on order for almost 30 systems and complete builds for another 20+ all arriving daily. love the money but i have no time for anything but work right now.

i swear i'm gonna take some time very soon and complete the card models since i know there are new ones for the other gpu's as well. hopefully can find time to start chasing rumors again. seen a couple on the 1080ti recently that look rather promising. hopefully those show up early next year.
 


currently using this driver but so far i haven't seen issues with it. no video playback artifact. no gif image artifact that some people are getting. work fine with games as well. though i just notice that memory speed did not always run at full speed especially for game that is less demanding. is that normal? i know such thing is normal with gpu core clock because of power saving feature but i never aware if such thing is also normal for memory clock. some people reporting their games got somekind of flickering because the memory did not run at full speed but so far i see nothing like that in all games that i played.
 
there must be some kind of standard test though i don't think they can test every possible combination that available out there. i heard the memory clock issue only happen on factory overclocked pascal. and it seems nvidia already reproduce the problem in their lab and the latest driver should contain the fix. at least it is not as annoying to like those TDR issue on GTX560ti where even nvidia can't reproduce the problem for months where in the end nvidia asking user to send their card directly to nvidia for investigation. also problem that only affect factory overclocked card is also happen from time to time. i had once have such an issue back in fermi era.
 
think a lot of folks are waiting for the big sales. i know i am. don't need anything this strong but i'm looking at a 1070 or a 1080 if the price is right. never bought high end gpu before but this time i feel like going a bit stupid with new pc's for the house. all depends on prices i can find and those little freebies that help out the value.
