What am i doing wrong?

But, when I get my GPU clock to 100+ I do get the fragments and so on, try getting that down to 90

Honestly, it sounds like your overclock is unstable. You are likely showing failure in far cry because it stresses your gpu in a different way. And honestly, what are you overclocking a 1070 for? They are super powerful as is, and honestly as of all the current testing you will likely get better performance and higher boosts by setting an aggressive fan curve and letting the current version of gpu boost do its thing and not forcing a clock. The 1060's even boost themselves to just shy of 2ghz on the current architecture, and the gddr5x doesn't like overclocking very much so that may well be your issue. Try setting your power limit to 110, set an aggressive fan curve, and test again. I almost guarantee you will see the same or better performance and no crashes.

Because why not get free performance?  1070 does not have gddr5x, just gddr5, and with the small bandwith a memory overclock improves performance significantly.  Further, my card with temps and power limit maxed will boost to 1900mhz, while with tweaking i can get it to 2114, resulting in ~5-10% better results in benchmarks and games.

Ok so with the custom fan curve far cry run great for about two hours before freezing.

temp was not above 65.

what should i do?

Just curious, have you looked at afterburner or precisionX to look at what your clockspeeds are actually running?

silicon lottery I'm affraid, you CPU can not handle the overlcock back off the overclock to 90 and test, keep backing off until you get stability.

didnt see your post at first, sorry.

at engine heaven it's about 60c, 2025mhz core clock and 4200mhz memory clock

it it more possible that the memory or the core which causes the games to freeze?

I agree with, um, super skank. Your gpu has just lost the silicon lottery, i'm afraid.  You get the bottom end of the 2000-2100 mhz that pascal has been stuck at. Back it off 10mhz and try again. If you're not getting artifacting or instability, work on the memory clock.  mine will do +525-+550 for games, and +650 for benches.

It could be either, but memory will show up with artifacting first usually. I'd say it's the core clock. You should get close to 4500 on the memory.

given the frequency you're pushing the GPU too, it more likely to be the GPU. 

 

Note after 2000mhz the performance scales like shit, its not worth putting an extra 100mhz on the GPU for the sake of 2% extra performance....

I disagree.  I want that 2% performance.  I crave that 2% performance. I NEED that 2% performance.   I need to be able to look at the next guy and say I'm better than you, from absolutely none of my own doing, but because i can set sliders way better than him.

Id rather have a graphics card that works, but each to their own.

tested heaven with +85mhz to the core and +500mhz to the memory.

went good with no problems
