I was assisted by Tech Support with updating my GTX 1070 FTW DT bios drivers for the AMD chipset yesterday. I am now currently running ver. 86.04.3B.00.70. I am now getting voltage limit errors and having my clock speed reduced during gaming use. This is happening at stock and slight overclock speeds. Should I try to revert back to my previous driver or is this typical of this bios revision? Any assistance would be appreciated.

I personally would contact tech support again. I know it is a pain to keep having to do that, but you will get true answers and "guided" support.

I will forward this up, and see if we can get you an answer. Sorry to hear about the limitation.

They were super awesome the first time around. I'm confident in their ability to help.

Thanks Scarlet. I've set everything to stock speeds and ramped up the fan a little bit. I'm not worried at all. I have confidence that you folks will be able to help out. Still able to smash out 65-75 fps in Fallout 4 with everything at Ultra and quite a few mods.

That's interesting. Please keep us posted.

Quick update. I have tried running both default settings and modified settings and still getting errors. I am using both Heaven and Valley to detect the voltage errors, along with Fallout 4 to test actual play. The limit errors occur almost immediately as the programs load. I have replicated these tests on both the primary and secondary BIOS settings and reach the same error. 
 
The only change I can think of is the update of the BIOS. Although I have over-clocked the card previous to the BIOS update, it was never at a level that I would assume as being too much. I was running stable at +150Mhz on the clock and roughly +450Mhz on the memory.

Any suggestions as to testing which would help identify what may be causing this problem?

If you run +80Mhz on the clock and +100Mhz on the memory do you still get the errors?

That is an affirmative.

Never seeing this Error what is the Error Code and is in the Event Viewer?

Not an error code. HW monitoring built in to Precision XC is showing a voltage limit fault and accordingly the clock speed drops and remains at a lower speed. I've actually had multiple V limit faults happen concurrently that cause it to continue to drop. Granted it's only by 13Mhz, but I'm sensing this is not something that should occur at default clock/memory speeds.
