GTX 1070 low clockspeed

[AxelLorreyne]

Hey guys,

 

I recently bought an MSI gtx 1070 X (base clock: 1582, boost clock: 1771) and so far I'm really satisfied with it, although I've experienced some minor issues. 
I'm a big fan of fallout so I do play it a lot. Because of this I discovered my clockspeed drops below boost or even base clockspeed (clockspeed 1240 and sometimes +-950) causing my 
fps to drop below 60 fps which is very noticeable (unlike gta5, you don't notice an fps drop at all).

This only occurs in some parts of the map (Fallen skybridge, central part of the map, for those who play it) which I think is odd because my card can actually
keep clocking at it's normal clockspeed at all times, right? (sometimes it clocks even higher than boost clock in games like Fallout and The Witcher 3 without me overclocking it in any way)

 

I do experience this problem sometimes too in ASTRONEER but this is just a known issue with this alpha game where fps doesnt go past 20 fps when you have built a lot in your map. (clockspeed around 400)

Does this have anything to do with my settings or just a bug in the game or something else? I haven't changed any core clock or memory clock setting in MSI afterburner so the card should be behaving on factory settings at that point.

Thanks in advance (sorry for bad english)

have you  checked the temps? is something thermal throttling it?

temps always below 60-65 therefore no

Have you checked the Maximum Performance in the Nvidia Control Panel?

Update the GPU Bios as well.

 

That's strange though, my Gaming X gets to 1940 by itself, and around 2100Mhz overclocked. However, maybe the GPU just doesn't see the game as enough load to clock up?

 

Oh, what CPU do you have?
