sp can you post screen about 1070 +5% boost, which would put a 1070 around 300 already
265 *1.05 = 278.25

(on average, not considering too high settings, that are simply useless in a multigpu environment given the absence of rock solid stability)
@bensam: you're not the only one with a "decent" amount invested in cryptos, but there's also a thing callededucation and mutual respect. I understand your frustration in such discussions, but it should be better if you both ignore each others; it's a nonsense to continue like this in every thread you both collide.
@sp: would you be so kind to post hashrates with a human, achievable, frequency? A common 1070, even custom, barely reaches 2000MHz in stability without thermal and power throttling (in a multigpu setup obviously, due thermal complications). Interesting findings about the memory controller btw. Have you measured the difference between the reference values (TDP 150) and TDP to 170 + forced p0 state? Such tests would be much more interesting with watt measures. What's you model of 1070?
Thanks
