    Not sure if it is a problem but recently the 780m (with an unlocked vbios) is clocking down into 2d clocks (as if it were set to adaptive power) even though i have it set to maximum performance....before it was maintaining the max clock (849MHz) in 2d mode. the temps seem to be ok...it idles in 46 deg c.

    not sure if it is because i clicked the k-boost button in precision x or something that caused this to happen.

    Well have you downloaded nvidia inspector or any other tools to examine the current pstate behavior or force a higher one?
