Bad 1070 performance

So I picked up a Gigabyte GTX 1070 8GB WINDFORCE OC REV 2.0 (Or something close to that name) for $200. And its being super weird, I get a lot of screen tearing with it in half of my games. If I turn on VSYNC from game it doesn't help. But if I turn it on in the Nvidia Control Panel it gets rid of the screen tearing, but now it just makes my games have a lot of frame drops. Which makes them unplayable (to me). And theirs a few games that run bad altogether. "7 days to die" being one of them, I get the same fps on all settings low or high. With A LOT of frame drops.

i've tried removing gpu drivers with DDU and reinstalling them but that didnt help

You may be running short on power if you are heavily overclocked

My GPU's stock, and my CPU is at 3.2 GHz at 1.25ish volts. I can't remember exact number. Also, I temps are fine.(Beacause i know somebody will ask)

I bet your hard drive can't keep up.  I used to have the same CPU and GPU and I never had any trouble running 1440p at 100+ FPS.

I worked fine with my Gigabyte RX 460 2GB WINDFORCE OC. Or it at least didn't get random frame stutters.

did you use DDU to nuke the old video drivers?

According to that result, your 1070 is doing better than most 1070s.  So it's certainly not underperforming.

 

If the Nvidia control panel changes its behavior, I would be looking at software first. 

Do you have a spare HDD or SSD that you could do a fresh install on?   I'd give that a go, just to see if it performs better on a fresh install with no previous drivers.

The first time I didn't use DDU, but after I seen the screen tearing and frame stutters, I removed all of them, and reinstalled it again. It made no difference.

I will do a fresh install windows after, if we can't find a solution.

have you tried a different display cable?

 

before you call me insane.... i have personal experience with this.

 

One of my HDMI cables works fine (or so it would seem) until i play games... for some reason it doesnt clock with the monitor properly when the framerate isnt constant.  watching TV, or at my desktop its 100% fine.  games, NERP...

 

I even tried a different display out from my GPU, nope... new cable and magically... it works fine.

I was using a DVI cable, then switched to HDMI to see if that was the problem but I had no luck. But I will try another HDMI cable just to be safe.

Also, I did a MSI Kombuster stress test. My GPU maxed out at 82 while my CPU maxed out at 83 with 81 being average temp. Is that too hot?
