Hello 
Let me start by saying I am a tech myself. I build all my systems and never had one problem with any of my video cards in 18 years. I just bought this video card and ran driver cleaners and installed this card. First thing that happened was a big blue screen from hell. This is just loading Nvidia drivers 372.90. Ok , so I installed them and rebooted and played my first game Battlefield Hardline and boom it locked up and had yellow or green squares all over the screen in perfect rows from top to bottom. I had to shut the computer off. So I reloaded Windows from scratch and now PLAYING Star Wars battlefront I can't get a 1/2 HOUR of game play it kicks me out every time. 
 
I think i'm sending this back and getting a new one again. It also has micron memory. 
I don't see a lot of people complaining about there like me about the same problem I'M having.
 
Let me know what you guys think Thanks
 
My system
Intel I7 3770K
16 GIG Memory
500 GIG SSD EVO
2TB WD secondary drive
Asus motherboard  3rd gen 3.0 pci express

    Hello alhazen and welcome to the Forums!
     
    Are you able to test the card in another system? This would be the best indicator to determine if the card is experiencing hardware issues. Do you have onboard graphics or another working card you can test in you current system? This would also help narrow things down a bit further.
     

    I also recommend checking the PSU voltages on the 12v rail. In the BIOS you can check if the PSU is providing consistent power. Go into your BIOS and look for the +12v  reading, this is typically under 'PC Health Status', System Monitor, Hardware Monitor'. A healthy reading is between 11.4 - 12.6v, and stable. It should not fluctuate rapidly more than .05v and no more than once every 10 seconds.

    If you have a moment, please rate my service. We appreciate the feedback!

    I went and checked my BIOS and under 12v  rail it was a solid 12v and it wasn't moving up or down for over 2 minutes of watching. 
     
    But when I say it kicks me out of the games it states this. To me this doesn't seem like a hardware but a driver issue.  
    It look s just like this but for Battlefront Starwars.
     
    Star Wars Battlefront has stopped working
    A problem caused the program to stop working correctly Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. 
     
    This is what I get every time it kicks me out. Do you think this is hardware.

    Check your windows system event log to see what driver/module actually caused the crash.

    have you also checked if your mobo is running with the latest bios update? also what windows version are you using?
     
    What games have you checked? see if you get any issues with other games, if you do, then maybe either a driver or hardware, possibly hardware issue, but I would check for a bios update first, as that might solve some issues, unless you are already running the latest version for your mobo.

    Under all the 3dmarks and other programs to benchmark I never have any crashes or tearing or anything bad it runs through them with pretty good scores.

    try Battlefield hardline again, and see if the crashing is still there, but it possible that the bios update may have fixed the issue.
     
    edit, 3Dmark scores can change from run to run, try Heaven Benchmark 4.0, to me that is a better benchmark.

    Did you reseat your card into the PCI-E slot?  Could you have possibly damaged or twisted a pin in the slot with your first install?  I've seen this happen.
     
    If not....try resetting your card or move it in and out an 1/8 of an inch a couple of times to be sure to make good contact with all of the cards foot contacts, and a good seating.  If your card sits horizontal in a slot (your tower), you might want to support the far end of the card not supported to the frame, with a piece of braze rod cut to size, so one end rests on the bottom of your tower, with the other (with a piece of duct tap as a pad) resting and supporting your card at the top.  These cards are heavy, and can twist down at that end of the card in the PCI slot, thereby not having a good foot-contact.
    Of course, cards sitting vertical in the case,have no such issue. :)
     
    You never know... :)

    Well for some reason Battlefield Hardline is running like crap. It says im getting over 113 FPS it just seems choppy like when your running its not smooth. I tried turning off Anti aliasing and back on. Something is not right. Almost feels like the memory in the card not doing its job. with Anti aliasing off the GPU putting out 99%. With Anti aliasing off its only running about gpu 70% on usage.
     
    It seem smoother with Anti aliasing off weird. It was always smoother with Anti aliasing on and used to stick to the 60fps but its showing 68 to 75 on screen like its not locked in. hmmm

    It just crashed again now on Hardline. Time to get a exchange of a card. I just got this car Last Tuesday Sept 20 had problems every night since the 20th.

    Its sound like a wonky driver. Try using 372.70. I had trouble with a driver I think its the same one as youur using. 
    Do a clean install.

    Using Precision or Afterburner, down clock the both GPU core and memory 100mhz. If that reduces or eliminates the crashing, odds are the GPU memory is defective.

    Re: Should I send it back EVGA 1070 FTW 8G Overclocked model 2016/09/25 20:29:19 (permalink)
    Well I did a DDU clean and removed all my 372.90 driver and installed the 372.70 driver and tested everything. It scored better on my bench marking score. I ran Battlefield Hardline and it ran silky smooth. Played both games for almost a hour each and haven't had a crash or error of any type. Battlefront looks and ran amazing.
     
    So now what do you think could it still be a bad card or not.  The reason I ask when new drivers come out for Battlefield 1 and I start having this issue again i'm screwed. I will have to send it in for a referb card. But I can send it back and get a new one again now. I only had the card for a few days.
     
    How many people out there with same card running 372.90 and isn't having a problem at all. Tells me this card might have slightly bad memory or something like the controller for the voltage.
     
     
    Well look it says the 372.90 driver is not good for Battlefield 1 
    Then I should just get another card to be safe. I know it doesn't work worth a crap with the newest driver so 373.01 or would be next may not work either. Then I'm screwed.

    Before you get too worked up... recognize that the problems you're having are atypical. Did you try reducing the clocks on the GPU? You're right the GPU is probably defective but, more data points is better. It doesn't say it isn't good for BF1, it's addressing just 3D vision. Either the game engine doesn't support it properly or there is more work needed on it.

    I didn't lower the clock on the GPU I tried 372.70 and it is working good right now. Its running 1934 for GPU core clock for max in GPUZ .
    But I think the problem is the voltage controller for the memory is not working good with the new driver. When the game is changing voltage and its throttling up and down its going bonkers and crashing the system. I think its a bad BIOS on master also. When I had it on Slave it ran good on driver 372.90 . That's a different Bios revision.

    There is a case open about this issue of poor quality Micron memory on 1070  (which does not happen with original Samsung memory used for all the reviews)
    We still don't know if a software update (bios or driver) can fix this issue.
    If you want to add your feedback there is a thread on Geforce Forum:

     
    Pity to pay premium price for high end cards like FTW (For The Win) to get looser Micron memory...

    The issue isn't with all Micron memory.  And the issue is thought to be in the way the voltage is ramped to the memory, not the memory itself.  Micron memory doesn't always overclock as well as Samsung, but it does just fine at stock.  We literally have had hundreds of cards over the years in our systems, and the Micron has never been a problem any more than the Samsung.
     
    Just don't over generalize the issue.

    We don't know if it's a software (driver/bios) or hardware issue yet. Because if this memory can't sustain a rapid voltage increase and crash then it's a hardware issue.
    Moreover, if the quality is borderline, then you can have some instability issue even at stock speed.

    Nvidia has switched to Micron memory only since 2 or 3 months for gtx 1070 (not years)
    Future will tell but bad feedback are just emerging...

    Micron is not 'borderline' memory.  And Micron has been used a lot longer than 2 months, just not in the 1070 as it obviously new, but I can see there is no point in continuing with this discussion.

    I'm not accusing the entire Micron company (which make good GDDR5X for 1080) but the specific memory for the new 1070 only (GDDR5).
    No need to be irritated.

    What card do you have and what memory does yours have and what driver you running?
