One of mine does about 1100~1130ish and the other does about 1070. Like yourself, the memory on both are pretty good clocks too. I don't know how stable others are at 1200, but mine definitely can't do that much.

Well.. apparently my issues with my second pci-e slot are probably related to the 780 bios after reading EVGA's forums. All this time I thought my motherboard was defective. Either way I'm already in the process of RMAing my motherboard and getting a new one. Kinda sucks. Thanks for your work svl7. Do you think you'd be able to mod the bios update of just the regular EVGA SC Reference as well? Just because that Bios fixes motherboard compatibility issues. Thanks in advance. v80.10.37 03G-P4-2783-KR - EVGA GeForce GTX 780 SC

Gained on average about ~80mhz effective clock over stock bios overclocks. The best thing out of all of this is the fact that there's no more random clock jumps. It's all consistent with gpu boost disabled. Card #1: 1100/3650 Card #2: 1100/3450 That's +200 core and +600 / +450 memory as compared to stock clocks. Pretty impressive. I'm not able to run at 1200 though. Highest I can get on one card is around 1150 even at max voltage.

Yeah, thanks for all the help guys. Sorry for cluttering the thread. I'll get back to testing the bios when I can but I think the motherboard has problems, going to get it RMA'd. Both cards give me out of range monitor errors on boot up and the second pci-e slot seems dead.

No. I didn't even touch them. I just noticed after I installed precision every time I rebooted my main monitor would be a black screen that stated out of range. If I swapped the DVI cables and made my left monitor my main one, the issue would go away, but I didn't want to do that so I kept trying to figure out why it did it. At first I thought the bios flash caused it, then I realized it didn't make sense to assume that. Right now I'm pretty sure that's the program causing it. I have it uninstalled and haven't ran into the issue again (at the moment anyways). Thanks for all the help so far. I'm going to sleep. I have to think about what I want to do now. Motherboard is still under warranty but who likes waiting a month for a refurb. Not quite sure why the second PCI-E won't work. Also, what do you guys use for custom fan profiles? Edit: wow it has nothing to do with precision X... what the heck can be causing the out of range message?

I had an issue with my 780 always giving my main monitor some "Out of Range" message and I think I've pinpointed it to EVGA precision X. I want to just use NVinspector the only issue I have with it is that it has no custom fan setup, what do you guys use for that? I guess afterburner would work but it seems a bit redundant to have both of those programs.

Did what you asked, was thinking about trying that too, but the same results, no detection of that second card. Gonna try it again on the second pci-e slot, but its not looking good. This card was just out of the box too, never been powered up. Could be a DOA :-/ Edit: Okay it works! It is detected on the top PCI-E slot after doing Cmos reset. Now to see if it will detect on the bottom slot... if not then my motherboard has issues? Edit 2: Yeah, nothing powers up from that PCI-E... safe to assume my motherboard?

I was able to get the card working again by connecting my new one and doing SLI, but here's the weird part, although that card booted back up, I flashed it back to stock bios because I was scared I'd need to rma it. The second card isn't being detected now (The one I just opened). By the way, when I say not being detected I mean in Bios, not just windows.

Ok I'm getting a bit worried... my card stopped displaying and I'm on my onboard trying to figure out what's going on. It's plugged in but not being recognized right now. Did my card just die?

Nevermind. Anyways, so far with max volts I was able to achieve 1150 / 3649 overclock so far. Not conclusive just yet but was able to do anything I wanted so far.

Yeah, I wanted to try it but the latest version seemed to be dated over a month ago so I wasn't sure if the 780 was supported yet.

Flash worked out great, no more throttling, better overclocks (I'll post them when it's conclusive). Only issue is that my max voltage seems to be 1.162v. Shouldn't that be 1.21v? Edit: Nevermind, it's an issue with Afterburner, Precision X allowas 1.21v

I got my EVGA SC cards and was going to flash, but ran into something that scared me. Says "WARNING Firmware image PCI Device ID does not match adapter PCI device ID." Is this normal? I've never ran into that issue before when flashing in the past and I'm not confident in doing so now with a warning on my screen. Edit: With some research I read that it's normal. So I guess I'll flash it anyways and try it out.

Not sure how much this will help anyone, but someone from OCN tried this bios and stated that it wasn't stable for him. He stated that it made overclocks he had success with before flashing unstable. MOD Note: Link removed.

I've been using the G9X for quite some time. I have a brand new one sitting around just in case this one ever goes bad. Logitech has really good customer service though, they've replaced any that went bad for me. The only issue I have with it is that the middle click is very annoying. I've since then rebinded it to the mouse tilt buttons.
