Hello! It seems you're experiencing a limitation when using MSI afterburner as your overclocking tool. The voltage monitor shows that even with core voltage set to +20mV and higher, it never reaches 1.199V. This might indicate a cap on the voltage you can apply to your cards.

Have you confirmed that the voltage adjustment feature was activated by selecting the voltage unlock option in MSI-A settings? It seems this is the voltage range EVGA established as the maximum for the card, and exceeding it would require a modified BIOS without such a limit.

From what I know, this is typically the voltage range EVGA established as the maximum for the card, so you can only exceed it unless you install a modified BIOS that removes that restriction.

Other users also have similar voltage limits around 1.2v. A search on the Evga forum and other sites revealed discussions about this topic.
