Greetings all, I want to share with you my experience with 1070 SC.
First of all, excuse me for the bad english in this thread.
I buyed the 1070 more than a month ago and the general performance during game experience are not what I expected.
My actual configuration is:
Case: Cooler Master 690 II Advanced - PURE Black Edition;
CPU: Intel core i5-4570 3,2GHz Sockel LGA1150, 6MB Cache;
MOTHER: Gigabyte GA-H87-HD3;
RAM: G.Skill 16GB DDR3-1600 CL10 RipjawsX (2x8GB) CL9 1.5v;
HDD: WESTERN DIGITAL CAVIAR SE16 640GB SATA2 16MB WD6400AAKS;
VGA EVGA8GB D5GTX 1070 SC Gaming ACX 3.0;
Ali: AEROCOOL Alimentatore 1100 Watt Serie Striker-X Modulare ATX 2.3V Certification 80 PLUS Gold;
Monitor: ASUS VG248QE Monitor 24" LED 3D;
Audio: Sound CREATIVE SB X-Fi XTREME Audio PCI Express blk;
Mouse: Cooler Master Storm Sentinel 3;
Headphones: Razer StarCraft II Banshee Headset.
The Heaven and 3D score, which I posted on this forum, are supposed to be ok:
But with some recent games the performance are worse than other utents with 1060 and even 980!
First example: The Witcher 3, 1080p, all maxed and Hairworks OFF - drops to 50 frame (with my old 970 MSI I had 72 fps in major situation);
Second: Deus Ex: MD, 1080, high, some details maxed, TAA - in exterior drops to 35-45 frame (interior 70-80 fps)
Third: Battlefield 1 Beta, 1080, all maxed, 45-60 fps during every situation (a friend with 1060 Gygabyte run it at 90 stable frames)
Fourth: Total War: Warhammer, details Maxed, Shadow High, AAx4, Illimitate Video Memory, the first days I was running around 60 frames, last days I dropped to medium of 52 fps
Final: Starcraft 2, maxed details, 52-56 fps (with my old 970 I had 60 fps)
I try the 1070 in different types of OC but fps drops still remains.
I clean the driver with DDU and reinstall the new one.
I try to play some of this game at minimum details and the performance were the same.
I verify HD and CPU and nothing seems to be broken and I also put the 1070 in another PCI slot.
Last night with MSI afterburner I noticed in several situation this:
So I take a look about CPU usage and during game is 75-95% of usage. And before buying new vga I informed if my CPU can be a bottle neck, but in many forums I read that it wasn't.
Now I'm sincerely desperate. I don't know it It's my fault or not, but I'm reading people with other equivalent or older cards run better than me.
I can't request RMA because the italian shop where I took the 1070 doesn't allow me after 14 days.
That's all. I apologize for my bad language and I hope that my explain is almost clear.
What can I do?
Thank you for the attention
