    I've been getting underwhelming performance in games lately, so I decided to try and adjust my gpu a little bit. I installed EVGA precision and noticed that my clock speed seems to be adjusting to three "profiles". 50mhz, 202mhz, and 776mhz.

    Problem is that it doesn't always seem to choose the highest profile when gaming. And I'd like to try above 776mhz since I have plenty of room re: temperature. But no matter what clock speed I set in precision, it never moves above 776 at the highest.

    Any ideas or information I need to provide?

    Using the beta drivers from nvidia: 304.48.
