Afterburner Question

[qtqc1]

Hello everyone. Quick question, I installed a couple of EVGA GTX 1070 cards. I installed MSI afterburner to try an overclock them a bit. I have never used afterburner but doing a bit of research it seems my stock numbers are different than most. Just wondering why this is? Picture attached

That is normal idle numbers for a 1070.

"I installed a couple of EVGA GTX 1070 cards"

Did you buy these cards for SLI? If so then you made a massive mistake as opposed to just buying a single 1080 ti.

Thanks for the info. I actually had the one 1070 for a while and found another really cheap so I decided to hook them up together.

You would have done better to have have just sold one or sold them both if you needed a real upgrade. You are literally going to get no improvement at all in nearly 1/3 of AAA games and even less Indie games support it. That does not even get into all the issues such as broken support from driver or game updates, stuttering, flickering or poor scaling.

DIdnt realize that, might be time to look for a 1080 then. Unless something new is on the horizon from nvidia?

yea, it's humbling to have to confess you screwed up but if you let humility have it's way with you you'll mature in the right direction
