Hello, I don't post very often but I have been struggling with this GTX 1070 that I have had for a long time. I've never really been able to successfully overlock it (using msi afterburner) and recently I've actually noticed some FPS drops in games and I'm wondering if it is related at all to...

Seriously? WTF mannnn

I'm currently trying to OC my MSI aero GTX 1070 and using afterburner. I've successfully gotten it to 2012 MHz without voltage added with max temps around 73-75 (depending on the game). I have an i5-6600K OC to 4.4 GHz. I'm wondering, is it safe to keep going up? What is the max MHz? I feel...

I appreciate your response. I see what you're saying. So you think it's worth it to switch out the PSU and add another 1070? I just don't want to waste my money if that second cards potential will be wasted.

Hey, I have: i5-6600k Nvidia GTX 1070 (MSI) EVGA 500W bronze+ 16 GB RAM (ripjaw) MSI Z170A PC mate I'm considering swapping out my PSU for an EVGA 750W gold+ and add another 1070 in SLI. Do you guys think my CPU will bottleneck me with two GPU? If so, will overclocking it help fix that...

Yo yo! I have an LG 29UC88-B, which is a 29" ultrawide (21:9) monitor. Resolution is 2560 x 1080p. I've been able to use the software "flawless widescreen" to play the game in 21:9 BUT with a caveat. The cutscenes are still in 16:9 and have black boxes. It stinks! Has anyone found a way around...

Update: The first day the CUE was letting me change the settings on my mouse/keyboard but now nothing is happening.

Hey so I just got the rgb k70 plus m65 mouse and installed the CUE. Both keyboard and mouse are working well but the CUE doesn't recognize them at all. It simply shows the demo keyboard and mouse icons. I can actually adjust settings to some degree on my keyboard/mouse using the demos but...

I'm looking at these monitors: http://www.microcenter.com/product/445098/S34E790C_34_Ultra-Wide_Curved_HD_Monitor?ob=1 http://www.microcenter.com/product/446529/ENVY34c_34_Curved_LED_Monitor Thoughts? Good for my 1070 GPU? I want a good monitor but I don't want to kill my frame rate and tax...

Thanks for the reply! I like that monitor but I was really hoping for a curved one and 21:9 like the one I bought. But I will still look into that one. Sounds like I could upgrade to 1440p and be okay. Any other comments are welcome :)

Hey first post here. I just bought a new gaming PC and have the GTX 1070, i5 6600k, 16 ddr4 RAM, etc. I just ordered an LG UC88B 29 in wide. curved monitor. 2560 X 1080 75 hz, 5 Ms gtg, etc. I'm now wondering if I should've gone with a 1440p or higher Hz 1080p to use the full potential of...
