At idle you mean...

No xD

Hi guys,

My cards are going great guns.

However, one of my cards voltage is a little odd!

View attachment 77131

Notice the difference in voltage?

This is with full load.

The first gpu-z shot is the primary display and the second one is the slave.

Before I water cooled them they were the other way around and their voltage value's would remain the same.

I'm just wondering if anybody else out there has a GTX 1070 with only .9930 default voltage?

Cheers.

I have intermittently clock spikes while browsing the web (not even watching a video).

The evidence

I have updated google chrome today and haven't seen the clock spikes again the past hours sofar

Edit: Whoops, shouldn't have posted that... Just a spike again...

It seems it's not that often anymore somehow.

My 1080's idle core clock jumps to 1230 mhz instead of the regular 215 mhz whenever I extend the monitor to both my surround display and my TV. I searched online and saw most people are experiencing high idle clocks with multiple display mode when one or more of these displays' refresh rate is more than 60Hz, which is not the case here, all my displays are 60Hz and I have done no overclocking! Anyone else is having the same issue? Any idea about the cause and how to fix it?

Ive got 3 monitors plugged in and get the same, but in my case its not really an issue as im water cooled. There is a way to disable this using nvidia inspector by forcing idle clocks whenever there is no 3D load on the card. I'll get home first to get some screenies, wont be long. I'll either update here or reply, whichever comes first.

My founder's edition is totally quiet... Generally speaking. Fan at 100% it's by far the quietest reference cooler I've ever used.

You don't want to know how loud the g1 gaming fan gets at 100% But then again, it wouldn't even get close to 100% as that would mean around 4300 rpm

Right click the 'Show overclocking' button in inspector and pick 'Multi-Display Power Saver'

Here you need to pick your GPU, and you can also pick apps that can bypass the clock restriction, just right click on the 'Full 3D Applications' window.
Hope this helps.

@puma99dk| I see you got the same card as me, do you have these intermittent clock spikes while just browsing the internet?
If not it might be the driver, since I'm still on the first Pascal GTX1070 driver.
I had installed the latest driver to try, didn't check the clock spikes but it had lowered my 3DMark scores a bit and my GPU core clock was somehow lower in MSI Gaming App OC mode.
My BIOS version is 86.04.1E.00.41

And is your IO matte black as shown on the MSI website or does your card have a silver colored IO as mine?

Hey guys, joined the club today with my new Gainward GTX 1080 Phoenix.
Here is some first benchmarks (fan profile is default, since i prefer quiet over extreme cool)

The only place I saw a black bracket is in MSI marketing pictures. All the 1080s and 1070s gaming X I saw in person, including mine, and AFAIK the ones the reviewers and youtubers got, have a regular silver bracket.

Yeah, I had preferred the matte black one though but

Is there a way to customize the side LED on the gaming X model without the terrible MSI gaming app? Or at least make the card retain the color after the app is closed so that I do not have to always run it in the background? This is soooo stupid and no reviewer mentioned it AFAIK, they only say the side LED is RGB. I flashed the OC mode bios to get rid of the app, but the LED color...Sigh.

I have installed the app and tried, but it gave me an error, I think you need an MSI motherboard for it, for some reason to get it working, which I don't have.

It does work for me, but its window is so big on my surround setup (with custom DPI scaling akin to the old method of windows 8.1) and I have an ASUS motherboard. Still it is frustrating to lose the LED settings when the stupid app is closed. Why don't MSI incorporate the LED control in Afterburner the way EVGA did with FTW LEDs and Precision XOC is beyond me.

Well I got some error pop up with "something something, not supported"

Oh well, it's red as default color and I've got an Asus motherboard with red leds as well, so I'm ok with it.

Red is default on the side LEDs on your card? Are you sure? The word (MSI) on mine is white by default and I all I wanna do is keep it at red!!

Oh right yeah that's white, I meant the red lighting around the fan

 

[ErnieBall]

It resets the led settings when you close the app? Thats so stupid!
If you have Geforce Experience installed you could check my rig>LED visualizer if it works for your card. I used that for my 980 gaming 4g which didnt have rgb leds

No i disabled "Use hardware acceleration when available" yrs ago in my Firefox now Waterfox bcs of either crashes or smth like this so only using cpu here.

I got the same bios version as u.

Just installed geforce experience and the LED settings in there have no actual effect on the card

Hmm, just checked, I already had that disabled... Weird.

I try update the driver once a new one is available then.

Just trying it out

Noticed with the latest drivers that OC mode in the MSI Gmaing App the core clock was reduced to 1999.5Mhz,
on the first GTX1070 driver, OC mode would give me a 2012MHz core.
So I was getting about 300 points lower score in FireStrike.

I did a system restore and I'm back to the first GTX1070 driver.
