I upgraded my EVGA GTX 1070 to overclocked!
Hi guys, welcome! I'm just starting out with overclocking and would love some guidance. I own an ENGA GTX 1070 SC and am trying to achieve a solid overclock, though I suspect it might already be pushed to its limits. Using EVGA Precision, I managed to reach around +75MHz, but my base test showed it was already at 1949MHz—about a 3.8% jump. It's interesting that KBOOST brings the card up to 1999MHz, which is the theoretical maximum. Is there any danger in pushing it to 2025MHz if it remains stable?
Demanding higher frequency doesn't automatically make the card wear out faster.
You won't be sure to get an overclock unless you buy it as a pre-binned item (aftermarket cards that are already overclocked).
Even base clock editions might remain at their original base clock.
Anything above the stock settings for that particular card model—regardless of what you received it with—is treated as an overclock.
If it stays stable when under stress, then it should work fine.
it's okay at 2025mhz—my gtx1070 exceeds 2100mhz without any issues.
you can't exceed these voltages much beyond a tiny margin, unlike older cards.
unless you change the bios settings.
