GTX 1070 - Furmark - is my GPU throttling?

[Lumers]

Stats from a 5minute stress for only the GPU. Was wondering if someone could tell me if the small variations showing on the graphs indicate some sort of throttling or not reaching full performance. The comp is only 1 month old. I don't think I've OC'd it or anything.

Edit: The GPU doesn't maintain 99% (95%-8) utilization when running Prime95. Bad?

 

Air cooled

Asus Strixx GTX 1070

Ryzen 5 1600X

Win8.1 x64

Gigabyte motherboard

ITX form factor (S Define Nano)

 

Let me know if more info is needed.

 

Thanks

 

Side question: my NVMe drive gets to like 59c (19c ambient air temp) while running WoW off of it. Is that an issue, either for the drive longevity or in terms of temps?

I think what you are seeing is GPU Boost 3.0 in action since the normal clock speed for a 1070 is a lot lower. It affects a lot more on the 10 series gpus, and raises the clock speed as much as it thinks is safe and within set thermal limits. So no thermal throttling

Blah, I kinda forgot about the clock boosting. Dumb of me.

 

Thanks for the response

Your card clocks to 1974 vs. the "normal" 1920 at around 70°C which is totally fine. Actually more on the pretty good side. Be happy and start dancing.
