Run HWinfo64 and monitor your card temps. I suspect heat to be the problem.
If not heat look into flashing another brand BIOS.

I am thinking of returning my card for refund and wait for coming "Tahiti XT 2" chips because of this voltage locking which is a bummer as I like the card otherwise.

Also card doesn't need to be "hot wired" to be voltage tweaked. That is only needed if you want to really over volt the card (over 1.25v), change pll voltage or mem voltage.

Its just not clear which motherboards have this on them.
I was hopeing the Maximus GeneV Would but i cant tell
To my knowledge, only the Rampage IV Extreme motherboard and Maximus V Extreme have VGA Hotwire.
Also, what clocks are you getting under water and what clocks were you getting on air? I'm currently running 1100/6300. I can easily get the memory higher, I'm just not bothered.

Your Vdroop says otherwise. If I bought the Direct Cu2, I would find it unacceptable and ask Asus for an RMA. Not sure if RMA'ing the card would be legit though.

My cards voltage is 1.084v idle... Ref cards are 1.175.
I can do 1150mhz at moment.
1.060v load... That around 0.1v less than ref cards!!!
How is my card poor?
Plus i dont care who is a mod or not i was not being rude in anyway.
