Voltage threshold setting for "1" GTX 1070
Voltage threshold setting for "1" GTX 1070
Hey everyone, I've observed that my Gigabyte GTX 1070 Windforce 2x OC runs smoothly during Heaven's Benchmark with my overclock settings. Clock speeds, memory clock, temperatures, and power usage are all within normal ranges, but the voltage stays consistently at 1. There are no artifacts detected. Is this a problem with the power supply reaching the card or is GPU BOOST 3.0 working correctly?

Voltage limit 1 just indicates you've reached the maximum power draw for the card settings. From your screenshots, I see your power target is at 111% but your power limit isn't raised (on the left side of the curve). Raising it could provide a bit more capacity. Otherwise, it seems like a solid performance boost.
How much should you increase it?
It's generally safe to go as high as you want in precisionX—it will trigger a warning about increasing voltage, but the card is already hard capped at the BIOS level and won't allow unsafe voltage levels.

Good luck!
The voltage limit of 1 indicates you've reached the maximum power draw for the card settings. Your screenshots show a power target at 111% but no increase in the power limit area on the left side of the curve. Raising this could provide a bit more capacity. Otherwise, it seems like a decent performance boost.
Baralis explains the situation, noting the current power target is set too high for the precision mode. He suggests raising the power limit slightly to provide a bit more capacity, while also mentioning it appears to be a good improvement. He asks how much increase is advisable.
