GTX 1070 G1 Gaming not upclocking correctly

[DMan612]

Hi guys,

I'm not sure if this has been posted before. I have a Gigabyte G1 Gaming 1070, great card, just it doesn't upclock itself enough to maintain a stable 60+ fps in a lot of games. An example is in GTA V, it should easily push 60fps but it doesn't ramp up enough to maintain it constantly. Is there an easy way to force it to maintain a higher clock speed or is this just an unavoidable "power saving" feature? I have tried Nvidia Inspector but for some reason I would have to manually set the clock speeds for P0 state. Any help would be great thanks.

Specs:
Windows 7 Pro 64bit
16GB DDR3 1600MHz ram
i5-2500 @ 3.30Ghz
Gigabyte H67MA-USB3-B3 Motherboard
Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 Gaming (1595MHz Base/2025Mhz Boost)

This is due to CPU bottleneck i guess. What is your CPU usage while gaming and what is your GPU usage ? Change the power management mode in Nvidia Control
Panel (Manage 3D settings) to high performance and check. Download Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to completely uninstall the current drivers and then go to Nvidia's website and download the latest driver for your Gpu. Try these but imo it is a CPU bottleneck.

This is a fresh install of windows from 3 days ago on a new ssd, forgot to mention that. As for the cpu, it generally sits at 85-90% usage. Gta was more of an example and it happens nearly a cross the board unfortunately. Might try reinstalling the drivers ansnd see what happens.

Turns out it was just the power management mode, no idea why i didn't think of this. Thanks
