overclocking gtx 1070 hybrid ftw
overclocking gtx 1070 hybrid ftw
I put in my gtx 1070 hybrid and got wow 2000mhz right out of the box without making any changes.
But then... anything over 2050mhz causes it to crash.
Is this just bad luck, or is there a problem?

The hybrid isn't adding anything new. Except for the FE cards, no 1070 card is limiting performance. Therefore, cooling the GPU won't improve results. If a card's speed drops below 82°C, picking a cooler that handles 52°C offers no benefit compared to one at 68°C. This can't be right. On Pascal architecture, higher GPU temperatures mean better efficiency. At stock voltages and 80°C cores, the max clock might reach around 2100, but at 25°C with stock voltage it could go up to 2200+. These adjustments occur roughly every 10°C. I've noticed the GPU changing clock or voltage based on core temperature.
The hybrid isn't offering any improvements. Except for the FE cards, no 1070 model is experiencing throttling. Therefore, cooling the GPU won't influence performance in any meaningful way. When a card's efficiency drops below 82°C, opting for a cooler that reaches 52°C offers no benefit compared to one that hits 68°C. The problems with the SC and FTW lines are that all units shipped before November lacked thermal pads on the VRM. This has consistently been an issue on the SC line, but with the 10xx series it has improved across the FTW range.
Graphics card manufacturers sell their chips in different versions, choosing the superior ones for factory overclocking to boost performance and charge more. You might get the chance to overclock further, though results aren't guaranteed. They compete by offering cosmetic upgrades and premium cooling solutions that also command higher prices. The current setup is already categorized and overclocked—just accept what you have. For better performance, consider registering your card with Evga and take advantage of their 90-day free upgrade program to exchange it for a GTX1080.
Unlucky? The 1070 stock boost operates at 1683 MHz. And you claim 2050 MHz (+20%) is unlucky? Oh God...
The hybrid isn't adding any benefit. Except for the FE cards, no 1070 card is limiting performance. Therefore, cooling the GPU won’t improve results. If a card’s speed drops below 82C, picking a cooler that keeps it at 52C offers no edge compared to one at 68C. This is clearly incorrect. With the Pascal design, higher GPU temperatures mean better efficiency, and the maximum clock speed can rise significantly—around 2100 at stock voltages and 80°C cores, or even higher at 25°C with stock voltage. These adjustments occur roughly every 10°C change. I’ve observed the GPU adjusting its clock and voltage when core temperatures reach as low as 24°C. To achieve excellent core speeds on Pascal, you must follow the voltage/frequency curve for overclocking, not just simple offsets... And always keep the GPU as cool as possible. The cooler is key. Maintaining a lower temperature enables powerful overclocks even at stock settings.

This is clearly wrong. With the Pascal architecture, the cooler a GPU runs, the more efficient it becomes and the higher its performance. So, at normal voltages and with a core at 80C, the max clock could be near 2100, but at stock voltage and 25C core, it might reach 2200+. These adjustments occur roughly every 10C. I've observed clock/voltage tweaks by the GPU with core temps as low as 24C.
To achieve excellent core clocks on Pascal, you must rely on the voltage/frequency curve for overclocking, not just simple offsets... And always keep the GPU as cool as possible. The cooler is key. Cooler performance can lead to impressive overclocks even at stock settings.
Begin with a straightforward approach on the frequency/voltage curve. For example:
I successfully overclocked it using the curve, reaching 2063mhz in just 2 minutes during a fire strike
😛
with maximum voltage and power limits applied.
Only a +65 offset was needed.

What did the curve look like? A screenshot would be helpful—they're very precise about their setup and the voltages, clock speeds, and temperatures they monitor.

This is clearly wrong. With the Pascal architecture, the cooler a GPU runs, the more efficient it becomes and the better it performs. So, at standard voltages and with a core at 80°C, the max clock could be about 2100, but at stock voltage and 25°C core, it might reach 2200+. These adjustments occur roughly every 10°C. I've noticed the GPU clock and voltage can change significantly even with core temps as low as 24°C.

Are there any adjustments I should make to improve the overclock?

My GPU reaches a maximum of 47°C after playing Unigine Heaven for 30 minutes
Interesting points:
The hybrid isn't adding any benefit. Except for the FE cards, no 1070 card is slowing down. Therefore, cooling the GPU won't improve performance. If a card's speed drops below 82°C, then picking a cooler that runs at 52°C won't help more than a cooler at 68°C. This isn't correct.

Begin with simple adjustments on the frequency/voltage curve. For example, I increased it to 2063mhz and it crashed within 2 minutes during a fire strike, using full voltage and power limits. Only a +65 offset was needed. What did the curve look like? Could you share a screenshot? They're very precise about their setup, including voltage, clock speeds, and temperatures.

My GPU reaches a maximum of 47°C after playing Unigine Heaven for 30 minutes. After your chosen clock and voltage, everything should remain stable. The image you shared seems to aim for 2075 at 1093mhz, but there was a sudden jump afterward... also the tick marks for 1075mv and 1081mv are too close to your target. Adjust them slightly lower—around 2030 max.
Also, ensure the main voltage slider is set to 100%. Otherwise, even if you adjust it, the voltage will cap at 1050mV, and the clock will follow that frequency on the curve.
If you're struggling to start, try a very aggressive curve line for the clocks/voltages you want to run. Like this:
