Just built my new first PC Asus z170 hero alpha 6700k. And fitted my card tonight Asus Stirx 1070 and could not get any signal out of any hdmi port. Pulled card installed the drivers from the disc as as could not work out what's the most current on Asus driver page. Installed drivers put card back in and fired up Tomb Radier for my first PC gaming ever and 5 frames. And the  video gets into game play and freezes took 5 mins to get out. Fired up Rocket league I know this will work I could play this on the onboard grafics and 5 frames. 

When to Asus drivers found what looks to be the most current drivers GPU tweek and arora soft wear and no diferance and I can't even change the rgb lights as it keeps telling me it's no supported.

WTF is going on.

and I left out the story of the bios failure I had I thought the mother board had failed 2 days ago as all I had was red dots everywhere and could boot to Windows even thought it had been running for over a week sort of OK with a few crashes.

 

Id this the life of a PC gamer?

Have you entered the UEFI/BIOS and made sure the GPU is in the preferred PCIe slot and that the PCIe lane that the GPU is in as the primary GPU? Have you also set the PCIe slot as gen3?

I compare pcs to cars.

Most cars/pcs go about their day to day life with little issue, maybe a few niggling things here and there but nothing nuts

Gaming PCs on the other hand are like a street car built to race. Their performance is unmatched next to the machines "normies" have. But with performance and tinkering comes a higher likelyhood of "bugs" and issues popping up that need to be ironed out in the machine.

It fixing these issues a weekly occurrence? No But they certainly comeup, as you do this longer though you will start to learn and get an idea of the root cause of issues and have an easier time fixing them when they do pop up.

download something like TechPowerUp GPU-Z and check the GPU frequenzy. This sounds like wrong drivers.

is anything overclocked?

Just down loaded gpu-z pic attached.

The top slot is x16 on a Asus hero board still need to check bios. Downloading heaven overnight to see if I can load this GPU up and get a score of some sort.

From looking at other CPU-Z pics I don't think the drivers working as he microsoft basic driver in the the bottom box.

Have I down loaded the wrong drive?

can someone post a link for a Asus Strix 1070 no the OC card . And how to install it correctly?

You are not using NV drivers, but the default windows driver. You need the card to be plugged in and powered when installing a NV or Radeon driver.

Also, make sure your display cable is plugged into the card and not the MOBO or the bios will generally default to the onboard graphics.

 

This isn't the "life of a PC gamer", you simply need to have a device plugged in and powered before you can install drivers for it.

 

W10 will find and install pretty much every other driver besides video cards for you. Example, plug in a USB  wireless XB360 controller adapter and it will immediately recognize it and install the driver for you. Literally plug and play.

I didn't have the card in when installing the drivers as I had no picture out of the card hdmi. I removed installed Asus drivers and plugged it back in.

Do I need to down load nivida drivers from GeForce as well?

Okay, keep the card plugged in and powered, then install the driver again (still with the card in). The drivers on the Asus site are the same as directly from Nvidia.

Download geforce experience. It will figure out what drivers you currently need for them shiny 1070 (beast of a card once you figure everything out!) and will download any future gpu updates.

Thank you ?

All fixed installed nivida drivers and all is good. Running thought heaven bench on high now no overclocking at all.

Now I can start playing with overclocking.

 

Is there a way of turning the the non OC card strix 1070 into the OC card? 

Is it a bios update our should I just overclock to same settings?
