Overclocking Performance

The GTX 1070 Ti is adequately impressive out of the box but it's not going to wow many enthusiasts. It sits between the 1070 and 1080 in terms of performance which is fine and all just it also sits between them in terms of price and we're non sure if there was any real demand to fill that $100 price gap.

Since you can buy a manufacturing plant overclocked 1070 Ti I'k curious to meet what's possible here then I fired upwardly MSI Afterburner and started the process of working out how far the core and retentivity could get.

In the end I landed on what I feel is a pretty mild overclock. The base of operations core clock was happy at 1767MHz while the memory went to 2252MHz for a 10% bump in core speed and 12% for the memory.

This resulted in a Turbo Boost 3.0 operating frequency of at least 2GHz in games which is about a 9% jump from the stock boost frequency. I was hoping to accomplish at least 2050 MHz and I'm certain nosotros'll see other reviewers achieving that or meliorate, perchance I was but a fleck unlucky with my carte. Anyway, what kind of gains does this overclock net us? Let's motility on to observe out.

Once more we have Battlefield 1 up first and hither we see an impressive 13% jump in operation, hit 105fps and that is enough to lucifer the GTX 1080 Gaming X. Although we only managed around a 10% frequency heave this extra gain has come up from the increase in memory bandwidth.

The good news here is you can achieve GTX 1080-similar operation through overclocking, factory overclocked 1080 performance in fact. For those wondering, a custom overclock on the standard 1070 Gaming X carte du jour still sees information technology fall just short of the 1070 Ti'due south stock figures.

We saw a xv% gain in Mass Effect Andromeda and that'southward a little higher than I was expecting. Raising the ability limit and overclocking the memory has had a big impact hither and now the 1070 Ti Gaming edges alee of the GTX 1080 Gaming X for what is a very impressive result in this title.

Then finally we see a 13% increase when testing with Deus Ex Mankind Divided and this was plenty for the overclocked 1070 Ti to lucifer the overclocked Vega 56 graphics carte du jour (in an AMD sponsored title nonetheless). Again, the overclocked 1070 Ti besides mimics the performance of the GTX 1080 Gaming X.

Every bit surprising as the frame rate results were I have to say the power consumption figures are only equally surprising. Despite increasing voltage, the full arrangement consumption for the 1070 Ti configuration increased past only 14% to 346 watts. That's only 5% more power draw than the stock Vega 56 graphics card and 22% less once Vega's overclocked.

Leaving the fan profile on auto, the MSI 1070 Ti Gaming still ran quiet and yet its temperatures maxed out at simply 69 degrees later an hour long stress examination. That said, for the most part it sat at 68 degrees. Anything southward of 70 degrees is cool in my book, peculiarly when the card is running almost silently.
