GTX 1070 hitting voltage limit

[vvanouytsel]

Hi Everyone,

I am running a GTX 1070 FE graphics card with a i7 2600k CPU and 16 GB of RAM.
When I am playing Battlefield 1 multiplayer I get about 80 - 100 FPS on Medium.

I started monitoring my GPU and CPU using afterburner and I noticed that I am constantly reaching the voltage limit in MSI Afterburner. (Not sure this is CPU or GPU though)

I am not overclocking my GPU but I am overclocking my CPU to 4.3 Ghz.
Should I RMA my GPU?

The graphics card manufacturer isn't going to issue you an RMA for a perfectly functioning graphics card.

Graphics card performance can be capped by the graphics card's GPU operating voltage. That's exactly the way that it is designed to work.

So it is completely normal that "Power Limit" and "Voltage Limit" have the value of 1 whenever I am in game and I am worrying about nothing?

See my edited response above. You're worrying about nothing.

All that means is that your GPU is hitting its max voltage and had to be underclocked a bit to keep it stable. You have nothing to worry about.

worrying about nothing huh ? there is no way my gtx 1070 after 45 days of use is hitting voltage limits with no overclock with voltage use mmaxxed out and temps and power linmit maxxed out . i am having the same issue. theres no way in heck this is a normal thing.i have had my card oc to 2227mghtz and never come close to hitting max power or volts until this last nvidia update.
