Just a side note... I am very pleased with how quiet the fans are on the 1070 FTW versus the 970 FTW+; I can actually game with fans set to 100% and not annoy my TeamSpeak/in-game voip...
The only gripe I have so far is the representation of "White" with the RGB LED's, it's more blue than white...  I'll have to work on getting the right color mix to get as close to white as possible.
 
 


Yeah, it looks the same on the 1080. That's a problem that is inherent with using RGB LEDs to make white. It just takes one of the LEDs to be just slightly off from the optimal color temp and brightness to appear to have a color hue.
 
@axe41031 Do you have a 1070 now? Try using the OC scanner with Precision OCX. I got a few crashes with my 1080, but it gave me a good idea where to start with creating my own voltage curve.




 
noob question: where is the ocscanner button?

Click the right hand yellow arrow once to go to the next screen, click the arrows nest to the 'Basic' button until you get the 'Manual' button then the 'Run' button will light and pressing that will start the OCScanner

EVGA to differentiate could sell the 1070 FTW and Classified with bios with a little more tension, for we take advantage of all its power phases, all your overclocking potential, than use having 10 stages if the voltage is the same reference ? Overclock ridiculous for a card that promises better performance in overclocking, you can not release tension for bios why sell 10 power phases with a PCB and monstrous cooler? false marketing?

I don't really see false advertising here, there are a few things to note, cards might not be able to achieve high OC results, even from the same manufacturer, You have the DT model (1070 / 80) that fails testing, which I think proves that not all cards can make the grade.
 
Some people might only be able to push the core and memory by a tiny bit, while others can push their gcard a bit more. basically the silicon lottery.
 
So not really sure why you are saying there is false advertising?

Yes has false marketing, since your card is not a reference product, but retain the same voltage settings of the reference product, it does not make sense any pay more for a product that should theoretically be better but in practice is the same thing .

Just got my 1070 FTW today - really happy with it so far. Big step up from my previous 680's in SLI.

Still playing with the overclock, but so far I've got the core at 2038MHz (+100), memory at 4404MHz (+400).
This is with the power target at full. Have only been tinkering with it for a while but i'm sure there's more headroom in it.

Getting Heaven score of 3205 (extreme preset)

I'm curious about what overclocks people have gotten with the power limit at default
 
How are some people actually adjusting the voltage on this card? I thought it was locked.

It depends on what bechmark or 3d app you are running... for example - on furmark, when set on 1600x900, no AA, it makes a lot of FPS, and it drains the power very much, so you hit the  100%, or even the 112% power limit. But when you set an AntiAliasing, then it makes less FPS, and drain much less power... in my case, with 8x AA, it drains about 60-80% power, so then you can have the power limit on 90% and it will not throttle down the frequency because of the power.. But when you add some clock frequency, the power consumption rises, but still, 100% target was enough to reach the frequency, where the card becomes unstable.
 
I found, that if I set temperature limit to 60C, then I can set a bigger offset for core and memory in some 3D applications.. I even hit a 2152MHz for a while, and if the temparature is below 60C, then the card is stable. When the temps hits the 60C, it lowers the clock frequency all the way down to 2088MHz, so thats the magic I guess... and in games, where there's not a very full load from time to time, then the temperature drops down and the frequency gets higher again.
 
 
-- but I'm having the most stable settings the same as @mrjosh86 have: +100MHz core and +400MHz on memory (core at 125MHz stable in most applications, but not all... and while testing 2152MHz, it was achieved with custom manual offset at 150MHz or 175MHz offset on 1081mV and 1093mV - the overvoltage has to be on 100% to achieve 1075mV or higher..)

Does the card actually lose stability when it exceeds 60 celcius or is it just a setting you prefer?
 
Unigen Heaven at full 1080p max settings with AA on and Vsync off, I would get some minor artifacts or some sort of odd texture renders when looking closely at 400+ on the memory. I forgot what I was doing on the core but I sure can't do +150 on Heaven staying on 100% power. Seems like you got a better card, although I am not sure if mine is below average or not. For the sake of testing mine and comparing it to everyone else I may have to just bump the power limit up.
 
I don't fully see the need to push the power limit up when the card can already conquer everything I could throw at it right now on my 1080p monitor. I wish nvidia or EVGA could give us vcore voltage control so I can just undervolt my card incrementally starting from the default settings so I can go for pure efficiency for now and just up everything down the road when I actually need it.
