Manufacturers roll out firmware updates for GTX 1070 due to memory issue

[JoshM813]

I can confirm that I have memory overclocking issues on the Micron chips. I could only get +125MHz overclock when all of my friends with Samsung chips have been getting +500MHz or more. Unfortunately, Zotac hasn't pushed an update yet.

With the updated Micron firmware, will the Micron chip cards be as good at overclocking as the Samsung chips?

 

I wonder if having the Samsung chip can be a useful advertising point, when it comes time to sell the GPU.

Can't be bothered to OC my GPU, so the problem isn't affecting me.  According to GPU-Z my MSI 1070 (Gaming X 8G) does have the Micron chips though.

 

If I run into problems, I'll probably do the update.

Ohhh, that's why my memory clocks are so low compared to others numbers. Well crap, gotta wait for Gigabyte to release something soon. Free performance, yay.

They should be as good as the Samsung chips. It just seems that the firmware used for the memory was optimized for the Samsung and not Micron.

I just bought a GTX 1060 and have yet to install it. How do we know the 1060s aren't affected too?
