GTX1070: Weird Throttling, Sudden Drop In FPS
- Thread starter ronferri
- Start date
Anyone can please help me analyze those fresh results from 3Dmark? Same laptop scored 4910 on notebookcheck.net.Even though I have higher benchmark score, I have lower FPS than the ones reported in their review. Not only lower but also highly fluctuating.

Even with your fans set to max, those temps are pretty insane man. It’s not just your core temps, the VRM temp/s will cause throttling too.
Added heat will cause higher power consumption which means you’ll hit the power target quicker and not achieve the same boost clocks as before. Looks like you’re already hitting the 100% power limit.

I am. Does that mean I should clean and repaste?
If you watch my short youtube video in the first post, the GPU temp starts at 54C and goes up to 60C, and the CPU is at 60C, which is not very high, yet look at the framerates and see how much they are fluctuating up and down. And the max framerate is not as high as it used to be (100fps). This is what I am unable to explain.
The other screenshot you saw with red flags is when fans are on auto mode, not full rpm.

UPDATE: Things are back to normal, framerates are restored to original high levels. Here's how:
1. I got sick of this laptop last morning because of all the inexplicable issues described in this thread.
2. Decided to go for a walk, held SHIFT key+clicked on shutdown button in start menu
3. Unplugged the laptop from AC power
4. Plugged it back in 8 hours later, and all games run optimally again.
I changed absolutely nothing in software settings, drivers, and of course never opened the case.
What was that all about?!

Of course not. I had been using restart and shutdown buttons from start menu. Only this time i pressed SHIFT while hitting shutdown (it is the real shutdown we are used to from windows 98) and i unplugged it from charge. Apparently Windows 10 does not do a full shutdown when pressing the shutdown button in order to maintain a fast boot up.
