GTX 1070 - issue regarding performance, or nothing to worry about?

[alexoiu]

I've seen some threads about GTX 1070 not performing as it should and I'd like to hear some opinions of GTX 1070 users, regarding their results in games, benchmark...

I don;t own a 1070, nor am i upto speed with the above linked issues, but I'm willing to bet it's all related to immature drivers.

I'm pretty sure that they are not GPU related issues. I think what has happened is people have upgraded to the 1070, which is a beast, and it's exposed the weaker elements of their systems.

Not sure about it. Here's another example, with a 4790k:

Also people not removing old drivers properly before installing a new gpu is probably a high %

If Heaven, Valley, 3dmark are correct anything else i ngaming could depend on drivers. On my local forums I didn't heard even one problem and there are over 60 owners so far both MSI and G1 including some cheaper..

I see on all issues date 22nd, might be last drivers with or without hotfix.

Hard to say.

I just got one yesterday and it seems to be underperforming a little i'm using 1080p resolution and getting slightly under 1440p benchmarks on alot of games from what I've looked up. My gpu also seems a little hot compared to others I'm quite often getting 80c to 83c I know its fine but I've seen like 50 reviews saying theirs never get above like 60c or 65c or something on full load. Think I should be worried?

ASUS GeForce GTX 1070 8GB ROG STRIX OC Edition bought it from https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HDUVJ1I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It looks like a cooling issue. Since new, you can contact Amazon and return it for replacement.

Allright cool thank you for the info I was just about to look up their return policy to see if I was able to do that

You're welcome.

Question,

Can you explain the process of what happens when you do what you say, because I think I did that, my ASUS GTX 1070 seems to be under performing and I think I didn't go thru the proper protocol when installing the new card, I didn't uninstall the the driver for my GTX 960, thanks.

I just thought I'd update with my issue. I did a fresh install of windows 10 and it seems to have fixed my underperforming issue. I probobly gained about 50 fps in BF4. I'm still returning it though since I still have the heat issues and I think it might be throttling a little.
