Did I Win the Silicon Lottery? (GTX 1070 FTW)

So recently, I got myself a GTX 1070 FTW (EVGA) and I decided to overclock it since I got my new 6600k which I also overclocked to 4.6GHz on stock voltages. I was surprised about the results I got. On stock voltage, I got an extra 125MHz on the core clock, which landed me at just over 2100MHz, while staying under 65C. I decided to also run a few benchmarks due to this, so here's my specs then my userbenchmark run.

 

-i5 6600K @ 4.6GHz

-EVGA GTX 1070 FTW@ ~2100MHz

-ASUS Z-170-AR

-Corsair RM1000x PSU

 

Need any more specs? Ask below.

 

Userbenchmark Run

 

Now here's where I stumble across something weird... When I ran PerformanceTest 9.0, I got a G3D Score of over 14,500 (~14,930 if I remember correctly) on it, which if I am not mistaken is a BIT out of line. If the rest of the site is legit about their benchmarks, apparently my 1070 is faster than the Titan XP? This would make my 1070 have 3000 points above the stock 1070 through the benchmarks. Please correct me on this if I am wrong.

I currently am not at my PC so I can't get the screenshots, but I will try to get them and post them here tomorrow if possible.

 

Thanks! :)

Maybe titan X not titan XP. there is no way that the 1070 is that fast

That's really good for a 1060 overclock. keep in mind that a 1080 reaching 2.1Ghz is much less impressive than a 1060 reaching 2.1Ghz. This is because a 1060 has a much lower base/boost clock that a 1080

He said 1070, why are you talking about a 1060?

2100MHz is pretty standard, and 65C is more a matter of your cooler and less so of your chip.

A lot of GTX 1070s reach 2100 Mhz on the core, and mine does as well, but it's a good speed, regardless. Be sure to also overclock your memory as well, as there is as much performance to be gained from doing that as there is from overclocking the core speed.

Check which settings you're running the test at. You might be comparing your 1070 score to a Titan XP score that is for a higher resolution, or something.

Every GTX 1070 and 1080 will get 2000-2200MHz.

Average is about 2075-2100.

This is regardless of brand, factory overclock, etc.

If you happen to get over 2200, then that would be really impressive, because so far I have only seen a handful of people do it.

Anything below 2200 is pretty standard, you can get this even with just air cooling.

My ASUS Strix GTX 1070 reaches 2050 in its OC mode, I don't know if this is comparable or not.  Similar temps.

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

The OS is like a kind food, Try it before saying if you like it or don't.

This a custom voltage curve I saw, that someone used for getting above 2200 Mhz on their 1070. I haven't tried it yet, myself.

He is saying he got 2100mhz on stock voltage, so in theory if he boosts stock voltage, he should be able to attain a higher core clock. 

 

So yeah, I'd say that's probably reasonably impressive.

The core voltage setting for your motherboard is set to Auto by default. Unless you had manually set the voltage, a 4.6ghz oc pull as much voltage as it needs and it wouldn't be anywhere close to stock voltages. If that's the case, you might want to make sure your temps aren't too high.

I was thinking this is probably the case too.

 

Also this is not really relevant to this thread, but why do people prefer to do the voltage manually? Is it because if it's on auto it can pull more than you need?

The Auto setting will usually use much higher voltage than necessary especially when oc'ing.

why don't you try Firestrike so the results are more comparable?

As stated above, the auto setting tends to really overdo it. It's even worse if you use the motherboard software and let it overclock for you.

 

I remember on auto, my 2500K at 4.6GHz was being fed 1.45v. Manual voltage, it works fine at 1.39v. I also tried the ASUS OC tuner on the extreme preset just for lolz, and it was getting to 5.1GHz at 1.52 vcore...

Wow. Thanks for clearing that up.

I don't want to feel you bad, but 90% of GTX 1070 can handle 2050 without any problems.

And same goes for 2101.

 

I got mine at around 2150 max. Anything after that bring me bugged display.

I'm sorry, but I don't think your GTX 1070 is silicon winner.

 

In my opinion silicon winner is GPU that can handle 2200MHz or above. But haven't seen many of those.

It's actually easier for the lesser chips to hit higher clocks, since they have less power draw, less thermal noise, and less cores to clock that high. Think quad core CPU vs 6 core or 8 core, etc.
