Asus GTX 1070 Dual
I've been working hard to fine-tune my card, adjusting it just a bit at a time while keeping the overclock stable, avoiding any artifacts or crashes during gameplay like GTA V. My screen should flash colors properly and crash only when necessary. Despite having a core clock of +150 and a memory clock of +300, I still experienced crashes. Outside of the GPU, my system runs a Coolermaster 550w Elite, an i7 4770, and 12 GB Ripjaw RAM. I replaced the power supply and that seems to have helped. One important point is that I didn't monitor temperatures—my CPU hit its maximum 60°C, and the GPU never exceeded 74°C. Appreciate the help!
Try the GPU at 125 with RAM at 233, power limit set to 107%, that's my stable range with SLI 1070s. Also create your own fan curve using your OC software—just two points on the curve: 40% at 40 degrees and 80% at 60 degrees. It runs when needed without being too loud.

When overclocking, remember that stability with one program doesn't guarantee stability with others. For instance, achieving very high stable core clock speeds with my old HD7950 (upgraded to HD7970) while playing Unigine Valley still caused crashes in Unigine Heaven. Adjusting settings for Heaven's stability led to failures when running Blade and Soul, and further tweaks were needed for Planetside 2 and TERA. After a significant performance boost, TERA performed much better, showing a clear difference in how each program handled the changes.
When overclocking, remember that stability with one program doesn't guarantee stability with others. For instance, my HD7950 (updated to HD7970) could hit extremely high stable core speeds while playing Unigine Valley, but would crash under the same settings when running Unigine Heaven. Adjustments for Heaven stability caused crashes during Blade and Soul, and further tweaks were needed for Planetside 2 and TERA. After a significant overclock (380x), it behaved differently—preferring Heaven, disliking ambient occlusion, and performing better with TERA. This suggests the card was overclocked from the start and tends to crash unpredictably on most games. Thanks for the clarification!
This seems to be related to a GPU Boost 3.0 problem. You need to adjust the curve properly so that the chip can increase its clock speeds while receiving sufficient voltage. It's possible one core requires extra voltage to operate smoothly (vdroop isn't predictable).
Alternatively, I'd check your power supply. What is the make and model, and what else is in your system?
