The Pascal GTX 1070 Owners Thread

I dont know how much to put on the GPU or the memory clock , or even do i put the power level up..sorry lol

I'm using the software that came with the card ..as afterburner wont disply the vcor.no idea why....so if anyone can advice please

thanx :)

I would suggest 25mhz increments for the core clock. 100mhz increments for the memory clock.

You will likely find the memory is much more tolerant to overclocking than the core.

If you cannot gain much dont worry too much, remember also different cards have different clocks out of the box so +25 on one card is not equal to +25 on another.

On my card I decided to leave it at +25 core and +400 memory, I dont know if it can be pushed further, I expect yes on the memory, but I didnt feel the need to try to. Although I do know +75 on the core on my card is unstable. What I never tried is +50.

+25 on my card gets the core clock to 2050 tho, and stays at 2038 after power usage throttling. Memory clock is 2327 as reported in gpuz.

To get on the Roll of Honour all you have to do is post a pic with your user name on it of your GTX 1070.​
 
Oh yeah, well worth the wait for a Zotac Amp Extreme version..

BZl6Awu.jpg


Still to test it fully, but the quality of the build is by far the best I have experienced for a graphics card..

Really tempted to purchase this card MarkeR. I'm jumping from a R9 390 and after 5 AMD cards I'm going for my 1st Nvidia. How are you finding the Zotac,it's not a name I'm used to. Any feedback would me massively appreciated mate.
 
Build quailty, 2nd to none.
Quiet as a mouse.
Insane boosts for me to 2100 out the box.
OC of 500 on mem straight away.
5 year warranty.
I have still to OC the core.

Buy it...
 
My AMP extreme is being dispatched today (finally!) :D. Away all weekend though so won't be able to play with it till next week :(

Crazy that the one above boosts to 2100mhz straight out of the box! Bet i won't get so lucky.

Just got my MSI Gaming 1070 8G, what an upgrade from the Gigabyte WindForce OC.
Thankfully I've won the coil whine lottery twice, both had none.
The fans... my god the fans on this MSI are so much better than the Gigabyte.

I set a more aggressive custom fan curve to start at 50% at 50c and 100% at 80c.
In a run of Unigine Valley on Extreme HD preset it hit a max of 57c/61%/1514rpm.
The Gigabyte fans were obnoxious at 60% and these are as quiet as my Noctua's!

I also flashed the Gaming X 8G BIOS to my non-X 8G.
This gave 100mhz more boost for a max of 1999.5mhz according to GPU-Z.
I had to used a cached version of the page to obtain it since they took down the BIOS for the 1070 Gaming X, yet the 1080 Gaming X BIOS is still available for some reason.
I'll likely be flashing the 1070 Gaming Z BIOS when it becomes available.

Another way the MSI is better than the Gigabyte is 8+6pin vs single 8-pin.
I'm no longer getting pwr perfcaps and railing against a 111% TDP.
MSI AB has a limit of 126% with this card/BIOS and in a run of Valley it maxed at 72.4% TDP.

The only perfcap left so far is VRel which goes for all Pascal, only modded BIOS will solve this.

I'm just so happy with the silence and how cool it runs. Quieter and cooler, by a lot.

I don't know why MSI retracted the Gaming X BIOS from the support area...
I hope they continue providing the updated BIOS there, so I can get the Gaming Z BIOS or any possible updates.
They have a BIOS update tool, but it said my BIOS was up to date on both.
I was expecting it to recommend the previous BIOS, the intended BIOS for my card after I flashed to the Gaming X. But apparently it's fine and up to date.
I doubt the tool will give me access to anything but future non-X 8G BIOS updates unfortunately.

Anyways I'm going to go start overclocking. It's already superior to my last 1070 so even if I can't get a single mhz more out of it I'm alright.

Interesting about flashing the Gaming X bios on your non-X card. Let us know how you get on with the overclock! I'm running mine a bit lower than the clocks in my sig for every day gaming. On a stock fan profile I'm running +110/+500 on core and memory. It starts at 2088mhz and levels out to 2050mhz boost clock after 20mins or so of GTA5 pushing 100% usage all the time. Reaches 75c and stays really quiet. Interested to hear how you get on too.

As a side note, the AMP Extreme looks like its a beast, wish this was in stock when I got my Gaming X a couple weeks ago! Still this one is great regardless :)
 
From what I can see around the net the fan revving/pulsing issue is with all Zotac 1070/80 AMP Extreme's.

If you have a loud case you probably won't hear them, but basically I am finding anything below 33% fan speed, the fan cannot stay at a constant speed.

Zotac have acknowledged the problem to some guy on facebook.

Shame really, because otherwise it is a great product. I do not get 2100MHz like MarkeR out of the box, but I can get it by upping the GPU Clock. Whacked 500MHz on my memory also and it was no problem.
 
just picked up a zotac extreme 1070 from ocuk shop this morning, whilst returning the palit Jetstream 1080 I bought on Wednesday.

the palit I paid 589.99 on Tuesday night, by mid Wednesday it was 619.99, anyway I got it home and had a little play,

out of box the boost hit 1911 a little oc got it up to 2ghz but there wasn't much left after that, stock heaven score was around 2750

decided that perf/price wasn't there so I swapped it for the zotac, which out of box hits 2037, little oc takes it to over 2100 and gets me a heaven score of 2640, which is very close to the stock palit, however its nearly £200 less.

another thing, the palit didn't come with any protective covers on any of the connectors, it was pretty bare looking.
 
interesting, I did notice palit is a more bare box, so you dont get any cables, or adaptors, evga seem to give you some more extras,. but my palit card did come with covers for all the connectors and even for the pci-e connector as well.

my heaven score is 3083 (was 1755 on my 970)

it came with the power connector and the disc but there wasn't any protective covers on any of the ports or pcie connector, which I thought was a bit odd as I cannot remember the last time I bought a card without them.
