I was having the same problems with the 1080ti, I was getting 1850kh/s with one card but after some time it would drop down to 1550 and stay there. Sometimes it was a few hours and then drop and sometimes it was longer. It was suggested to me that my video card driver was crashing in the background and although it wasn't crashing the system, the overclock software was not able to reconnect to the card and so the card was running at base stats and not being overclocked even though the software showed it as overclocked.
...

Interesting premise that I am trying out now. I rebooted the machine again, lowered the o/c from +140/+350 to +125/+300 and restarted hsrminer. Reported speed is now around 1280; let's see if it holds.

Welp, that didn't work... Exactly 1 hour after restarting at a lower o/c the hashrate dropped to ~1150 (instead of ~1170).

I've just started poking around in event viewer but haven't found anything yet on driver crashes. Not sure where to look, actually, but I'll figure it out eventually... I'm sure.

EDIT - actually, backing off the o/c may, indeed, have worked. I decided to reboot the machine and try +125/+300 again and it has been running fairly steady at 1220 kH/s for 6 hours now. I never did find the gpu driver crash in the logs, but that isn't saying much.

If that didn't do the trick, you could try the opposite, i.e. reapplying o/c every few minutes.
Using nvidiainspector, I have a little script that runs in the background. It's got a 10min timer loop, and reapplies overclocks everytime it restarts. This way, if one card drops off for whatever reason, this both helps reviving it and makes sure overclocks are always current.

Happy to share it later tonight if you're interested.

I am extremely interested in your script. I want it. I want to look at it. And then I want to be able to possibly PM you and ask you more questions about it. I've literally been looking for something like this for WEEKS!! Please share / explain install as soon as possible.
