The Asus 5 way optimization caused my GPU to stop working properly.
The Asus 5 way optimization caused my GPU to stop working properly.
Because of the slight discrepancy, would it help to try using the HDMI from the 1070? Since that cable and screen function through the motherboard.
EstherAzu shared her experience regarding the Asus 5 way optimization. It doesn't seem to affect the GPU, but it might impact CPU speed. Fan expert mentioned a possible issue with the PCIe slot. Digi+Vrm and turbo app also noted similar problems with the same GPU model as the GTX 1070. The user suspects a problem with the motherboard after optimization and wonders if the GPU section was overlooked in the optimization process. They also asked if the BIOS was reset.
If I recall correctly, I can return tonight to share my SS and you can view it. 5way shouldn't impact the BIOS, as it's managed through the settings that govern "Adaptive" and "Auto" options on the motherboard. It operates entirely within Windows and only functions if those specific settings are enabled in the BIOS. This approach doesn't modify the BIOS directly; instead, it triggers the settings he selects once the system begins.

Just wanted to clarify the odd discrepancy between the two. Maybe using the HDMI from the 1070 would help, since that cable and display work through the motherboard. I’m just a bit confused. I tried it and it actually worked!
Thanks for your assistance—I really value it!
On a side note...
What actually occurred? I can assure you everything was functioning perfectly over the past two days. I was using the card with that cable, and something happened with the 5way opt-. Also, it was transmitting a signal—connecting until the BIOS loaded, then it just went blank when trying to boot. That doesn’t seem like the cable stopped working suddenly. This is quite strange.
Also... what’s the difference between the DVI-D and HDMI cables? Is one option superior to the other?
Thanks again!

I think I recall I can return tonight and share my SS so you can check. 5way shouldn't impact the bios, it's just the settings that manage "Adaptive" and "Auto" on the motherboard. It operates only in Windows and works if those options are enabled in the BIOS. It doesn't modify the bios directly, so it only triggers the settings he clicks when it starts.
Thanks for clarifying—I only tried it once out of curiosity and wasn't sure if it affected the bios or not.
I tend to overclock using the traditional manual method.

Asus 5 way optimization doesn't affect the GPU at all.
It does affect the CPU speed.

According to what I understand, that's what I thought too. It might not have an impact, but it could cause an issue with the PCIe slot somehow?
I also tested my old GPU (Radeon) and it had the same problem as the GTX 1070. So it seems something went wrong with the motherboard after the optimization.
I don't see a GPU section in my 5 way optimisation, but maybe it's hidden and I'm missing it.
Have you reset the BIOS?
Yes, I did reset it.
(My issue was resolved by using the HDMI cable – although DVI-D still doesn't work. I'm just answering for those with the same problem.)
EstherAzu shared her experience, mcnumpty23 noted that the optimization didn't affect the GPU but improved CPU speed. Fan expert mentioned a possible PCIe slot issue and turbo app was helpful. Digi+vrm suggested checking the BIOS and reset the system. The user confirmed the fix came from using an HDMI cable and still had DVI-D problems. They also mentioned preferring manual methods over software for similar issues.
EstherAzu and mcnumpty23 discussed GPU optimization issues. They noted that the optimization didn't improve GPU performance but might have affected the PCIe slot. Both tried an old Radeon GPU and found similar problems with the GTX 1070, suggesting a possible motherboard issue after optimization. The conversation included resetting the BIOS and using an HDMI cable to resolve the problem.
HDMI has more throughput than a DVI-D.
As far as that port not working? I couldn't say. Could be damaged. You could visually inspect it and see if something looks burned, but it could be somewhere you can't see.
If the HDMI works just fine, I'd just stick with that, it is better quality anyways.
It seems unlikely the issue lies there, but you can access the bios to reset everything to defaults. Uninstall all drivers related to the graphics card, shut down the system, then reinstall the card plug monitor into the onboard graphics and restart. It’s possible you have a corrupt driver for the monitor or incorrect settings in the Nvidia control panel, such as a resolution that the monitor can’t handle.
