Questions about GTX 1070 G1 Gaming Firestrike Scores

[98Redbird]

Hey all,

 

Got G1 Gaming 1070 a few days ago, got it in and started playing around with it, was able to get stable +100 out of the gpu and +440 out of the mem. Firestrike extreme score of 8788 overall and 9332 on the GPU. My question is when comparing to my old 980 ti classified (long story as to why I do not have this card anymore...). My understanding were these two cards were extremely similar, and the 1070 should generally be a slightly faster card. 

 

So either, my 1070 is a bit underwhelming? Or the 980 ti that I had was a pretty stout card? I expected the 1070 put up better scores personally, but this is all I can get out of it. Wondering if I'm missing something with this new generation as far as overclocking them goes?

 

Thanks!

Hey all,

So stock v stock the 1070 is about 5% faster. Unfortunately even though the clock speeds get crazy, the 1070's don't gain nearly as much performance when overclocked as the 980ti.

 

The 1070 gains like a max of 10% from overclocking while the 980ti easily goes 15-25%. Thus a 980ti is likely to be as good or better in numerous situations OC to OC. With the major caveat of power ofc.

Thanks Curufinwe_wins. I appreciate the post. Was informative. 

 

All the benchmarks that I could find put my 1070 about right in line with what the majority are getting out of them, so I guess all looks normal

I have a Gigabyte G1 Gaming 1070, im getting 1949mhz out of the box in OC mode. When overclocked I can only get +70 on the core and +500 memory, the boost clock when gaming/benchmarking with the default fan curve is 2012-2037mhz and 2050 mhz is possible with a very aggressive fancurve but its really loud and not worth it.
