Overclock help?

[CharminUltraStrong]

Hi! I'll be running a system that demands about 343 watts(give or take) with an i5 8600k and a GTX 1070 FTW2. I want to run titles at 1440p 144hz and I read that the 1070 may not be up to the task at all times. So, I'd like to put a substantial-ish overclock on my GPU, (The power supply is a 650W Seasonic Focus+ 80+ Platinum). Would I be able to squeeze enough out of my PSU to run a good overclock and would this overclock help me get to 70+ in titles like BF1 at 1440p 144hz? Thank you!

 

Misc. specs,

i5 8600k - CPU

H100i V2 - CPU cooler

GTX 1070 FTW2- GPU

Ripjaws 5 2666MHz - RAM

ADATA SX8200 250GB (performance is comparable to 970 evo for reference with a 2% difference in random r/w) - Storage

Seasonic Focus+ 80+ Platinum - PSU

Yes, your PSU will be fine, but I sincerely doubt that even with an overclock you can get 1440p 144hz with a 1070, unless I guess you use low/med settings

by titles, you mean fortnite level of hardware requirements? Under ambient cooling, the best 1070 can only satisfy the needs of 1080p 144Hz (and won't be very good at that either).

 

1000w is what I use to power a pair of 1080s while overclocking the crap out of them, while pairing them with a 9900k also overclocked heavily. the PSU's fine.

Boost clock of your 1070 is almost 1800, which means GPU boost 3.0 will likely put you over 2GHz, my 1070 SC from EVGA hits that and it's a lesser model than yours, so since you have such a high tier 1070, take it for a spin first and see if the framerates are delivered.

What do you mean? 1070 can hit 1080 144Hz pretty easily in most scenarios, i.e. 120+ fps avg with 112 min. in BF1 @1080p Ultra settings. My FTW2 is more comparable to a 1070ti reference or so as far as speeds. The benchmarks I saw were running a 6700k @4.5gHz, my i5 is a hexacore and it surpasses the i7 6700k in all gaming benchmarks (obviously the i7's 2 extra threads will give it better results in professional tasks but the difference is marginal). Why do you think it won't be good at 144Hz 1080?

The thing is, it would maybe top out at 120 or so, but the frame times would likely be bad because it seems unlikely that it could maintain that

It was hitting 126 avg and 112 was the absolute minimum. Though, what you're saying would most definitely apply to multiplayer unless I was confused and their benchmarks included multiplayer performance. The loss in frames wasn't too substantial in multiplayer from separate benchmarks that I've seen. Really appreciate the advice by the way.

My requirements for a card to be 'very good for XXX fps' is to have 1% lows above that, that's why
