Underclocking the GPU core increases the power that you need because the driver feeds the chip a higher voltage. Therefore its useful with the current genoil miner to increase the gpu core speed to save some power( ), because the mining gpu speed is anyway locked at 1620 (atleast for my card) and reduce the power limit to 50%.
Core Clock -400 -> Voltage 1.043 V -> 77% TDP = 146 W
Core Clock +150 -> Voltage 0,76 V -> 54% TDP = 102 W
Have fun, it's really that retarded..
i noticed this also, but only if you play with the core, without touching the power limit, otherwise it is forced to drop since the PL limit the current
p.s. i was able to reach 30MH with +600 on the core and around 100w only

those 27MH as a bottom bar, is because i'm using the pc, otherwise it would be 29+ stable with 30 peak
i believe you can easilòy do 80-90w 30MH or even lower, which would put the 1070 as the best card for etheruem not even the nano can compete
I have the power limit set to 51 and the memory clock at 561 doing the same hash rate but more stable. No performance difference between 561 and 600. I'm probably sticking with this setting for the rest of the summer until it gets colder or when we are finally given access to the core voltage settings.
I have noticed that raising the core clock up a bit gives it more stability. Although mine is offset -200 mine is a factory overclocked card so that may be a factor
mine is not stable probably because is the first gpu attached to a 1440p monitor
Reminds me. I saw a post you made in another thread about turning sleep mode off on the monitor. I can't find my reply in my post history, I might not have bumped that.
What does sleep mode matter on the monitor? And would lowering the screen resolution matter? I'm on a 1080p. And the -200 offset for the core clock brings me to about 1544 mhz which is higher than yours. So it is possible the core clock may be the source of stability although it may not be worth the power draw.
