These cards go against what we're used to, but that's how it is now. Hell, my card is volt modded and it still fluctuates between wherever I set it, and whatever it "needs".
This is more or less true, with one notable exception.
On my card, the voltage WILL NOT go over 1.162V when I OC using Afterburner, no matter how high I set the clocks, or what I do w/the voltage slider (and some others have reported the same thing here). NOR will it do so in Precision X ... UNLESS I also go into the evga Voltage Tuner and cap out the slider at 1.175V. Once I do that, presuming I put a good load on the card with a benchmark or play Crysis 2 or what not ... my voltage will jump up to 1.175V.
This doesn't seem to happen with everyone's cards, but if you got a card that won't ever break 1.162V in Afterburner ... try slamming up the voltage in Precision X and I bet you'll suddenly be able to do 1.175V under a full load.
