GTX 980 unable to overclock memory!!!

[GTX_GAMER]

over the past few weeks i updated my graphics drivers but after doing so i can no longer overclock the memory on my card, every time i change the value it resets to 0, i can overclock the core but not the memory, can anyone assist me in finding a solution.

yes, put the old drivers back on

Maybe im in a wrong dipartment but is there a driver that alows you to bypass stock voltage rather then you flashing the card and end up with a bricked card?

msi afterburner can often let you adjust voltage, BUT from personal expirience. voltages are usually the least of your concerns and dont need to be raized much if at all. but the in built TDP throttle limit of the card is where you will notice a problem..

at stock voltages i can get my 780 to reasonably decent overclock 24/7 stable. but the tdp limits would down clock me to limp wristed speeds. with the tdp limit in place my max stable (did not throttle) clock speed was the same with a stock air cooler as it was with water cooling. even though temps were much lower with water.
I had to edit the bios to dissable the tdp limit. now i can keep the speeds at what i set them to constantly with no throttling.

so i guess yes you can adjust the voltages on many cards with afterburner but if you dont edit the tdp set in the bios then it is pointless to do so.

GTX_Gamer have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling whatever OC program you are using?

Maybe use DDU to remove driver and reinstall too...

God Father...you need to BIOS flash to remove voltage limit or TDP limit...no driver workround.
OC software only lets you adjust voltage or TDP to Nvidia set limit.

With these latest cards TDP does seem to be the limiting factor more than voltage...I can OC my cards to TDP limit with a small increase in voltage
