GPU Boost 3.0 not working

Yoola

After some testing I realised my iChill X4 GTX 1070 doesn't boost beyond 2000MHz no matter if the power and temperature sliders are cranked to the maximum. It starts with exactly 2000MHz, then after few seconds it goes to 1987 and then minute or two later to 1975. Temperature at those points is hovering around 65°C. 

I've changed an setting in the NVIDIA Control Panel from Optimize for power saving to Optimize for max performance, aswell as Windows power saving to performance. 

Further system specifications you can see in my signature.

That's exactly how GPU Boost works, not all cards get over 2000Mhz. Try playing with the voltage a bit, maybe undervolting  helps you mantain higher clocks.

There seems to be a limit on how far GPU boost will push the clock speed. Just overclock the card and you will get more.

Mine varies between 1987 and 2021

Like Jurrinno said, just manual OC it slowly to its maximum if you want the best of it but that takes patience :P

If you want 2ghz and you're currently leveling out at 2975 then set the clock offset to +25. However that's a tiny overclock and almost not worth bothering with.
