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

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...

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.

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?
 


What model using?

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.
