The GTX 1070 thread part 2

So I recently got a 1070 ti and I'm in the process of overclocking it, first time on Pascal. I don't recall any of the guides pointing this out but overclocking the core boost seems to happen in steps of 13.
I was ready to give up when I saw no real change in core boost after a while, was around 1987. It was also fluctuating down a bit, and GPU-Z said I was power limited.
Did some more testing and discovered the magic number 13. I now got up to 2114 before crashing.

After some more testing I ended up with 2076 on core and 4375 on memory.
From my oc'd 970 I saw a 81% performance increase in Superposition

 

Still using a 1070. Will skip RTX 2000 to get better performance upgrade when next gpu family shows up. 1000 series can still handle current games very well.

 

Decided to start fooling around with my laptop 1070. Undervolted it to 800mv @ 1709Mhz. Temps are great now. Wish I did this before.

BTW I have been messing with undervolting my desktop 1080ti as well and did decent with that too.

 

switch back over from red to green.

got the evga 2070 xc

systems is a beast with this card....

 

Grats! But this is the 1070 thread

 

ooohh...oops

 

So I came from team red (RX580 8GB) because I've bought a 27 inch monitor supporting 2K and Freesync (works with G-SYNC now with no problems) ...

The card is Gigabyte 1070GTX 8GB rev.2 Windforce OC (maybe I got some mistakes in the force and wind but this is it).

Memory is Micron ... sad face because it doesn't want to OC (memory) close to nothing ... anything above +200 MHz in Afterburner (+100 effective that is) I get artifacts ... I tried the new "OC Scanner" and it doesnt overclock the memory only the GPU ... I got there 150-200 MHz extra across the frequency range pretty happy with that !

I've read about a bug with memory voltages for these cards especially Micron issues ... but at least a +200 (effective clock for memory) should be expected ... what am I doing wrong ?! I've had an 1060 GTX 6GB and memory was easily overclockable to +400 MHz in AF meaning 200 effective.

Please help ?

 

I have the same memory on my card and I settled for +300 stable.

 

Is it my imagination...or did the GTX1070 prices go way back up recently?
Why?
I have a PNY GTX1070 XLR8 triple fan card, which I was keeping as my VR spare.
Decided to sell it and went looking for a reasonable price to advertise and everything listed is in GTX2060 territory.

 

For a used card? I'm not seeing that here, you can get them pretty cheap now.

 

Take a look at the Newegg site.
Crazy prices still

 

Yeah I see some very odd prices from marketplace sellers. No one is going to buy those. A quick look at Ebay will show you some sane prices.
