Not as much time was spent tuning the GDDR5 memory, but we were able to test at a stable 2177 MHz, which admittedly isn’t a huge boost over the stock 2000 MHz.
Our overclock enabled a 12% performance boost for the GTX 1070 at 1440p in Far Cry Primal, taking the average frame rate from 52 FPS to 58 FPS and leaving the GTX 1070 12% behind the stock 1080.
This time our overclock allowed for 13% more performance when testing Doom. The GTX 1070 went from 91 FPS on average to 103 FPS, just 6% slower than the GTX 1080.
Finally, we see an 11% gain from the overclock when testing with The Witcher 3, meaning the 1070 was just 9% slower than the 1080.
