I personally didn't get much love overclocking my 1070 (MSI 1070 gaming) <-- bios flashed to gaming x.
I got constant crashing even trying to bump the core up +100MHz. But it's boost clock gets to around 1960MHz.
yeah the way i see it is that it is a risk to send it back but i think im going to risk it as my CPU is a bottleneck anyway (fx 8350 planning on an i5 6600k)
i have an MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X 8G
in Afterburner i added:
- Core clock +68 (base is 1582 so it's 1650 right now)
- Memory clock +196 (base is 2002 so it's 2100 right now)
with these settings i get a max 2000MHz boost
if i go above this +68MHz core clock, the driver crashes.
I've been testing it with benchmarks and games.
currently i've got it at,
power limit 110
+100 core (boost 2088/2076)
+250 memory
putting the core at +130 gets me a boost up to 2114 that seems stable, but past that i start to see artifacts.
Doing some tests on the memory i noticed that once i passed about 450 i ended up with around 5 fps lower mins and only 1/2 fps max gain so i dialed it back to about 425 and that was the best balance i could get.
this ran fine in bechmarks also in dying light and GTA5, however when i started blowing stuff up in JC3 i started to see artifacts during the explosions. dropping the memory clock solves the issue.
didn't feel the need to push it to its limits constantly so i settled with what i put above.
