Unplugged the fans since some of the wires looked iffy, and the card sits around 40c anyway at these speeds.
12v rail power isn't great at 11.9x volts, but I think the minimum standard is way down around 11.4v.
Removed that ground wire. The two solder blobs each had two little solder "pegs" standing up, and each side of that wire was wrapped around them. So a mild tug and the wire came right off.
No change after any of that.
Watched the clock speeds and volts more. With Heaven bench open but not benching, the clocks often sit at 8xx,...

The temps are always low. And the card barely loads during the quick clock spike since the spike is so fast. It's practically non-existent, but I can see it happen with HWinfo logging it. Last I looked, max clock speed from the spike only goes to 1000 maybe 1200mhz. And then after the spike it continues running the benchmark or game way down at 350mhz or whatever.
I looked at the bios specs with GPU-Z, and the max clocks in it look normal. Figured look and see if the previous owner modded the bios to stay at low clocks for some reason. So that looks fine.
I'll...

1070 GPU. DVI port removed, wire in its place, why? Stuck on low clocks too.
I got this recently as-is. Gigabyte 1070 video card.
[B]DVI port is removed.[/B] I don't know why.
[B]A wire is soldered across two spots where it looks like the DVI port was.[/B] I don't know why.
I've read of people simply ripping out DVI ports and the rest of the cards still working fine. Never read anything about soldering a wire in there for some reason.
The card seems to work fine, except it's stuck in low clock speeds. While starting a game or benchmarking, the clocks may momentarily increase to around where they should be, then goes way back...2 Photos
