How come the Nvidia Titan Xp crashes at 150 160 hz on the clock offset and my Titan X Pascals didn't

Silicon lottery.

Also those are two completely different GPUs..

This.
Not every gpu of same model are the same. There is variation in the silicon used to make the gpu chip that is on the board.

If you are lucky, you get a good silicon that overclocks really well
If you are unlucky, you get a bad silicon that can't overclock almost at all.

Don't look at the offset but the actual clocks while under stress.

The Titan X has a base and boost of 1417/1531 while the Titan Xp is 1405/1582 so the clock is pushed a bit more already with the Titan Xp. Offsets aren't so cut and dry with Nvidia's boost tech.

I'm guessing here but by "Hz" you are referring to your monitor's refresh rate and not the video card's clocks? I think everyone else in this thread missed that.

I think you missed that the hz is supposed to be MHz.

"clock offset", thus overclock on the cpu.
He isn't referring to monitor refresh rate.

Tough to know, you can overclock monitors as well and it has a "Pixel Clock", and maybe they could have a 144hz screen and be trying for 150 Hz and 160 Hz.

There would be no mention of an offset, and it would have nothing to do with GPU's.

It also wouldn't cause one to crash and not another, it was clearly meant to be MHz.
As for the question, it's just luck, I went through 7 evga 1080ti ftw3 elites (faults occured on 5 when they upgraded the shroud), they all boosted slightly different and overclocked by varying amounts.

My final pair run something like +85 on one while the other runs +140 yet they both end up at the same 2076-2088MHz (based on temps right now in summer it's 2076), the odd thing is, while the one at +85 is at its limit, the second is good for +165 ish, so while being slower at stock, is the faster card overall.

Meanwhile at the extremes of silicon lottery one card was so faulty it wouldn't reach its base clock speed, while the best (which sadly had faulty vram) hit a crazy 2150MHz on air (my cards are watercooled) so could of been a record setter, if the vram wasn't screwed up lol
