Changing gpu settings to constantly work in max power is very BAD idea;p.
And you should check other info before posting that, on the screenshots on #15 clocks are not max because it was made on native res. You can see they apply max on earlier post made in x6 native without any problem.

um no in post 4 DX11 6x for you can clearly see he is running both GPUZ which show his max core is like 1006 mhz and memory is 1502mhz with boost of 1052mhz (this page show max clocks not the actual clocks) And RTSS which is in bottom of the screen show his core or his memory is running at 810 mhz depend on how he setup RTSS. for gaming especial emulators putting the card in max performance is good idea having it adaptive and see the card downclock and see obvious slowdown should be first clue that adaptive is bad for gaming. adaptive is fine for desktop/web browsing. but gaming? i dont think so , Adaptive power is bad for gaming. why you think the first thing most people will say is max sure max performance is used and not adaptive?

Dunno how reliable is RTSS in compare to gpu-z if they show different data(and saying it's "clearly" visible is kind of weird unless you are some kind of psychic, since it was under the taskbar;p), but as far as I knew nvidia users were proud of their gpu's drivers;p, would be funny to end up with same bs as with some radeon drivers. I would rather say through that it doesn't give it more power(if that's the case) simply cause it's limited by things it has no control over. Anyway yes forcing clocks when not on buggy drivers IS BAD, doesn't matter the ocassion, especially on top end gpu's which does not need half of it's power in alot of "gaming" to begin with.

I use both RTSS and GPUZ and trust me that screen he showed with GPUZ is only showing the Clock the card is capable of and RTSS is not showing 1000mhz for anything. RTSS is accurate As it show what the real time clocks are of the card, Only the GPUZ sensor page show realtime clocks and if he goes to that page it will show his card is downclocked which is exactly what RTSS is showing.
Both AMD and NVidia drivers suffer from this Downclocking for no reason which why adaptive power is bad for gaming, We differ on opinions about adaptive power, I dont care what game what driver I use ALL my game and emulation use max performance. and not Apdative, As the only reason I want my GPU down clocked is if I sitting idle on my desktop or web browsing. I dont want my game be down clocked for any reason other then the card is over heating. cause Adaptive in both camps is anything but perfect, Much like Speedstep on intel cpu and amd equivalent

Well, fist things first, you should scale things back to get FPS and GRADUALLY increase it till you find your breaking point
also:
1080p is a set of HDTV high-definition video modes characterized by 1080 horizontal lines of vertical resolution[1] and progressive scan, as opposed to interlaced, as is the case with the 1080i display standard. The term usually assumes a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9, implying a resolution of 1920×1080 (2.1 megapixel) often marketed as Full HD.
6x512 != 1920
