Your fans go 800 mph? That is one impressive cooler!!
There's a Tracy Chapman song in there. "You got a fast card...."Hey, it is a fast card.
You can try vsync on and then it should lock at 60fps. If it doesn't work at the game level you can set it in the nvidia control panel. I can't remember if there is a frame lock in settings too.With my CPU limited system, when playing Doom on Ultra I average just over a 100 fps. I have a 60hz monitor. This suggests to me that until I upgrade my monitor that I am simply turning electricity to heat and unnecessarily stressing the CPU with the card producing more frames than the monitor can display. Is there a setting that will dial the card back to a target frame rate?
Let us know if you received an actual OC card, and not the standard card. I've been on the fence about ordering the same card...still can't decide if I need it or not.
EVGA FTW DT $386
ASUS Strix OC $390
MSI Seahawk $455
So I got the card today and the model number on the UPC is Strix-GTX1070-08G-Gaming which checks out as the OC card.
Check the clocks too. Base out of the box Strix OC is 1632MHz | 1835MHz with in-game being around 2GHz.
For some reason Dell always takes a while to ship stuff, well you will enjoy it.Dell finally confirmed my order. Card should arrive sometime next week lol.
Those are the numbers I am seeing OC mode is 1835 according to GPU Tweak and boost clock is 2000 in game 2025 in Time Spy. The best thing about this card is in game it runs at the same temps my R9 390 would idle at (60C) amazing.
Yea I'm also impressed with the asus card, probably should have checked it out too. Although I did see my boost clock got to 1900+ at one point on mine. I still need to continue overclocking it to get it's final memory and GPU clock numbers.It seems everyone that has one of these cards is seeing in game boost clocks of over 2GHz without touching anything. Also, minus the EVGA Hybrid and MSI Seahawk, this is the coolest running GTX 1070. Many cards don't even seen anything past 62-63c. It's really impressive. ASUS deserves major props for this card.

A fan curve profile also helps a a lot too. During benching now it does not get higher than 59c but the EVGA precision xoc app has a crappy UI for the fan stuff.
I forgot about the dual bios. That's an easy process assuming someone already tested custom bios scripts. I think tonite I'm going to try and reach my overclock limits if I have time.The FTW IMO is the best card for overclocking. Being that it has 10 GPU phases on an overbuilt PCB, so once modded BIOSes are released, you'll be able to load one on your 2nd BIOS chip and have fun. I know EVGA is very conservative with their fan speeds. They value low fan noise over temps.The FTW cooler is amazing, so with the right custom fan curve it could compete with the STRIX.

What's the best tool to use for that? I'm now using heaven on custom settings, full screen native resolution, extreme tesselation and ultra detail. Doesn't seem like I see any artifacts yet. My firestrike benchmark stopped working so I uninstalled it.

Out of curiosity, which card would you guys pick; and why?
ASUS GTX 1070 STRIX OC $390
MSI GTX 1070 SEA HAWK $420
Mine boosts to 1960's so not that much better. Doesn't stay there too much either. Mine gets to 58c while benching and around 64C in overwatch.I must have the dud of FTW cards. Overboost to 1912mhz out of the box and gets into the 70s when running fullout. At least it looks pretty.
