The power limits are quite conservative on the 3070 it seems, but like the previous post was suggesting, ctrl+F is the overclock scanner tool in Afterburner. Run that and it'll generate a reasonable overclock curve for the card. What you can then do is drag the clocks down and in essence "undervolt" the card. Whilst it seems counterintuitive, it can actually result in a more stable card and overclock as it doesn't draw as much power and can still maintain good perform without slowdown.

Right, so I've just downloaded and tested this. It wont even left me choose the GSYNC option in the demo, only lets me go between VSYNC and NO VSYNC. Also, just launched in to DayZ with the GSYNC indicator ticked in the NVidia CP and there's no indicator in game. Something seems not to be working properly with GSYNC?

When I bring up the monitor menu it doesn't say anything about GSYNC or adaptive sync, have looked many times. When I just turned on my PC a message from Windows came up in bottom right corner saying "GSYNC display detected", that doesn't necessarily mean it's connected though.
Is connected via DP.

Will look in to this next once I know for sure GSYNC is working.
Nothing really. Have chrome sometimes on my second monitor. Would say it could be the second monitor but had the same issues when I only had 1 monitor. Just using Windows virus checker. 16gb ram and a 3070 so should be ok?
Put Task Manager on your second monitor with the CPU graph active and see if it peaks when you get a frame-rate drop. Then have the Process view open and see what is using the CPU.

It constantly says GSYNC mode for me even when not in a game. Only got the full screen option ticked in Nvidia as well.

Just had a little go and everything seems to be ok to my eyes. Pretty consistent. No proper spikes on the CPU tab.
It's early days but I have just turned on "Variable Refresh Rate" in Windows graphics settings and launched DayZ. Probably the smoothest it's played in ages. GSYNC indicator was working as well.

I don't want to speak to soon but it looks like turning on "Variable Refresh Rate" has drastically improved everything. Everything feels a hell of a lot smoother now. I'm guessing GSYNC was not activating because that was turned off. How the hell did I miss it?

So yeah, I did speak to soon. Didn't last long did it, maybe it was just a placebo?
Anyway, I'm pulling my hair out trying to fix this, just don't know what to do.
Since we last spoke I've enabled BAR in BIOS, disabled High Precision Event Timer and even disconnected the USB 3 cable on motherboard as that fixed it for someone.
It's like I can feel every little frame drop, even if it goes from 140-130, I can see it, there's a tiny stutter, just not smooth at all.
So down about it.

@BeadyRoller it sounds like your G-Sync is not actually engaged properly, try going into Nvidia control panel, firstly in "display tab" set your resolution and refresh rate to 144hz, then in the "3d settings" tab change it from fixed refresh into G-sync mode, next go to the "set up G-Sync" tab and make sure "enable G-Sync" is ticked.
also in the "3d settings" tab, you will need to set "low latency mode" to Ultra, and set a suitable "max frame rate" of something like 142
PS you would notice some improvement last time by enabling the fixed refresh but G-sync is better, the two shouldn't be working at the same time.

Here is a small video I took to show off the problem. As you can see (I hope), it's very choppy when I look around. It's almost asif my mouse gets caught on the trees and slows down. Hard to explain.

Have you tried disabling or unplugging secondary monitor to test if this happens on a single monitor setup only yet?
Just a thought, have you tried disabling windows optimizations? Find the game executable, right click properties, compatibility. Check what options are enabled / disabled and disable full screen optimizations and see if that runs better? It seems to me more latency related rather than actual FPS.
sup, did you fix that? Cuz I had(sold PC) literally the same issue, now in CIS region a lot of players having the same issue and no solutions. We tried to change CPU/GPU, and other staff, now we think that the problem is in electricity, is seems smoother when its night) Try to test it not at home) I also want to buy a new pc but I’m afraid that it’s gonna happen again.
