Palit 1070 Super Jetstream voltage issue

[Thomas_258]

Hello,

I'm using the mentioned card and I've noticed that even under max performance mode on Nvidia control panel it fails to use above 843mV, it doesn't go above 1.

Using Msi Afterburner it shows the gpu clock doesn't go to boost, it stays at 1633mhz, even when the gpu utilisation is at 100%. I've set a custom fan profile it doesn't go above 60c. I also can't change the clock. When I use the clock curve and increase the clock at lower voltages it automatically lowers the voltage to keep the clock the same.

I've updated my graphics drivers, flashed my motherboard drivers and tried updating my video bios as I'm aware of the 1070 micron memory issue.

Any thoughts?

test the card in another known working computer top see if it does the same . if so may need to RMA the card . if not ??

anyway sounds like that card has a power issue ''When I use the clock curve and increase the clock at lower voltages it automatically lowers the voltage to keep the clock the same.''

I would make sure your PSU is able to supply steady stable power to the card as well and the 6 or 8 pin pci-e leads are properly plugged in to the card

in the end palit shows a guaranteed boost to at least Base Clock : 1632MHz / Boost Clock : 1835MHz

to me that would be pretty bad luck if it was only able to boost to that 1835 I assume a good card would boost out of the box stock to at least 2000 on average

check this guys screen shots of his [ gpu-z ] you should be in that ball park

some of them I see have Samsung memory listed under GPU-z instead of the common micron on your card ???

may also use gpu-z to see when under a good load on the card if you get a lot of this ?

all that orange in the blue field is a power limit type issues

I'm using a corsair cx600, the graphics card is plugged in with 6pin and 2 pin wire to create 8. My motherboard is a 970 extreme3 r2.0.

I suppose trying it in another computer is the only way to go. I have emailed palit too so I'll see what they say.

Also when under full load gpuz says util for perfcap, that's a utilisation problem. But it's running at 99 to 100%.

Maybe the 2 6 pin to 8 pin is the issue, i know my 1070 does amazing job however its a msi seahawk EK X i have it at +200 core and +800 mem a lot of the times (samsung Memory)

 

[Thomas_258]

Ive switched the 6+2pin for the adpater that came with the card, using 2 6pin PCIe into 1 8pin, still no luck.

 

[burtman88]

i am not sure then really odd, maybe a power issue with your card. I mean with mine i have that standard 8pin one in comes on normal 1070s with a additional 6 pin power. I guess for better overclocking. Maybe why i am able to push mine with no issues. Either way with your one 8 pin power input should be hitting accurate speeds

can you use gpu-z and when you got a load on the card take a screen shot and post it ??

maybe like this

that's my card running valley and gpu-z render test on the 3ed loop of valley

with that we can see where your card stands

then maybe something as this using hwinfo64

PSU readings during full load testing

PerfCap Reasons, along with a brief description to do with what is causing them.

vRel = Reliability. Indicating performance is limited by voltage reliability.
VOp = Operating. Indicating performance is limited by max operating voltage(Hardware Limit).
Pwr = Power. Indicating performance is limited by total power limit.
Thrm = Thermal. Indicating performance is limited by temperature limit.
Util = Utilization. Indicating performance is limited by GPU utilization.


seems that if no reason is indicated utilization is normal ''blank'' filed when at idle under load it should be vrel- its currently running at the current speed (which can be stock speed, or less, or more, depending on the card and it's settings) solid blue field

the rest are like orange in the blue field just point mouse on it ad reason should show why if orange - like if your card comes with in say 95% of its power limit it will spike a orange line or bar in the blue field

like I that one screen shot that card is banging its limits to try to hold its clocking used

thats the GPUz on the render test.

Thats the PSU load on valley.

ya, seems like your voltage at 0.8430 is like idle stage and it should ''boost up to 1.05v +/- .0x

also not boosting to factory palite specs of that card and remaining at base clock sure aint right you should be getting there 1835 at the minimum .

got to say I not too hip on that PSu's 12v so low its not at atx min [11.40v ] , but should be in my opinion holding around 12v a bit better ?

https://www.lifewire.com/power-supply-voltage-tolerances-2624583

if you look at the sticker of that PSU you can see its really a 522w psu , but you can see under this review test on page 6 some solid 12v readings

http://www.kitguru.net/components/power-supplies/zardon/corsair-builder-series-modular-cx600m-psu-review/6/

I was hoping you would of gave the front side of GPUz as well with the card info on it .

if you got a buddy that's got a solid gaming rig that you can test the card in I would if it does the same I think you got a lemon and need to conceder a RMA .


for a example my card if you look at idle you see the cards voltage at 0.868v but look at the card with a load you see the voltage ''boost'' up along with the clocks to 1.193v

seems your card is just not able to do that as it should and you cant ''boost'' to speced clocks of your card ?? the lack of voltage as needed = cant boost correctly

thning is if you cant test the card in another system that can run that card you just don't know and guessing .

one more thing is you got a asrocl 970 extreme 4 ? 3 ?? may need to use its latest bios in case its needed for any latest cards used , sometimes these new card releases like the 900 and 10 series on some board require there latest bios to help compatibility

Heres the front on the GPUz and another look at the power supply v12. The average looks alright, I flashed my BIOS to the latest one, it did say there it was for PCIe compatibility but it doesnt seem to have made a difference.

 

[junkeymonkey]

well it show its right good bios rev and correct boost rate to that 1835 so you should be getting that at the least

now why the card is not getting full power/load voltage ??

if you just bought the card try a store RMA for another card if you cant test it

just seems like something is not allowing that card to go up in voltage to allow it to use its full boost clocking and its stuck at its base clock of 1633 ..

like I said 3 things 1- card is faultily 2 - psu is not delivering the full power to the card through the pci-e 6/8 pin connector 2 motherboard may need latest bios or its pci-e slot is not supplying the full 75w to the card [but seeing at load its doing the full pci-e2.0 at x16 I doubt that's at issue ]

your card for what I looked at should be idle voltage of that 0.843 v but under load it should go up to that 1.05 v

so the card is not getting the required voltage to maintain the boost clocks and that's speced by palite as guaranteed to do 1835 at a minimum out of the box stock and with that I also feel if a good average working card will do more stock maybe near 1900-2000 +/-

personally as of now I think you got a bad card and need to rma and hope that was it should be working just as palite advertised it to do
