Have you tried NiceHashMiner_v1.7.3.10
You should be getting pretty similar in both

@jelko I couldn’t figure out how to get nicehashminer to mine on a zcash pool and I didn’t want bitcoins so no I haven’t used it. I did buy the cheapest 3 fan 1070 I could get ZT-P10700I-10P. I can hardly overlclock the ram (+125hz max) without stability issues. I didn’t think a cheaper card would make that much difference. If I had known I would have just pony’d up the extra $80 or so.
@vanilla1226 yes I have the most up to date drivers from nvidia installed. I don’t know what you mean by cuda drivers.
Download and Install 
You need to download Visual Studio as well, it will explain everything in installation process. Add the CUDA drivers and your performance should go up!
It’s a CUDA miner

I would just use the benchmark in the nicehash miner to see how fast it can mine and compare with EWBF.
Where did you get the 1070 from? I can’t imagine even when really losing the silicone lottery that any 1070 would be that low…
@vanilla1226 thanks for the tip, I tried installing cuda and it seemed to slow things down. I noticed that it installed an older driver that nicehash complained about when I ran it.
@jelko here are the nicehash results using the equihash miner, they seem to be much more on par with what everyone else is getting with their 1070’s @ 270 h/s
NicehashMiner
I get @ 190 h/s out of my 1060 on this rig just like my other 1060 rigs so it’s only the damned 1070 not living up to others. Here is my EWBF mining results with the 1070 heavily overclocked to just before it’s breaking point. I’m kinda out of ideas on how to fix this, I think I might have just got a derptastic budget 1070 card that sucks.

Overclock Settings
Have you tried display driver uninstaller? Also, what clock rate and memory speed does something like MSI afterburner show when it’s running? My results are tied to memory speeds more than GPU clock. Any other GPU intensive applications running at the same time?

LOL I’m sorry. I really thought that was the issue.

same here. 1070, 230sols/s
I have used the clean install option on the nvidia installer, but I have not used display driver un-installer, I’ll try that right now.
As far as clock rates go GPU-Z has me between 1750 and 1989 GPU core clock, memory clock at 1964.2. GPU temp 74, GPU load 96%, Memory controller load @ 60, Power consumption 60-80 TDP.
Edit: Okay @Dashaiva I ran display driver uninstaller and not only removed nvidia drivers but also AMD and intel because my board has integrated graphics and I had a couple R9 fury’s in here previously. Unfortunately it remains the same, I’m getting @ 225 sol/s without overclocking and @ 245 with. I’ve got one final idea of updating my motherboard chipset drivers and then I’m kinda out of great ideas. Just for giggles I’m going to take the 1070 card to work tomorrow and put it in my 1060 miner rig there and see if it gets any better sol/s from a different machine.
Final Edit: Chipset drivers did bubkis. Lesson learned, don’t buy a cheap shit card, especially for mining.
This get’s me 360 sols/s running 3 instances.
Honestly you might want to consider selling your card on ebay and spending a little more on getting a good one. Even if it is another used gtx 1070 on ebay.
And this is on free electricity so I’m not concerned about power consumption
you should bump up your gpu core clock a little and keep bringing up your mem clock.
I’ve noticed the slightest increase in memory clock adds enough sols/s to notice.
Probably the reason why the gtx 1080 have been hard to deal with because their memory is clocked differently.
and I’m not sure what card you have or why the memory clock you’re listing is 1964.2 … mine is well over double that.
Yeah this is the max I can run things stably. If I up the memory or boost clock anymore I run into stability issues. I spent a good 4 hours tinkering around with voltage scaling on the GPU as well and it just won’t go any higher. Pretty sure the RAM they used in this card was reject bin DDR 5.
Think I’ll take your advice and get a different card. What exact model card do you have @jelko ?
I am just curious - what hashrate do you get if you crank your TDP down to 65% with those clock settings?
I have an EVGA 1070 ACX 3.0
looks like 65% =
300-320 sols/s on 1 instance
320-335 sols/s on 3 instances
Specifically what model though, there are literally 9 EVGA 1070 ACX 3.0 cards on newegg. The best priced one I’ve found is 08G-P4-5173-KR
The very first ACX 3.0 only
And I had got mine from B&H
Thanks, I just got this POS zotac card from Newegg recently so I started a return on it and just ordered the superclocked evga ACX 3.0 . Looking forward to some sexier mining numbers and better framerates on 4k gaming.
@jelko I found this while digging around about the evga cards. Thought you might be interested, could get a little more out of your memory overclocking if you haven’t already installed the bios update. http://forums.evga.com/EVGA-GeForce-GTX-1070-BIOS-Update-v8604500070-m2565056.aspx
Thanks, I heard about that update but wasn’t sure if I would do it yet. I thought maybe it was a way of preventing more RMA cards that hadn’t installed the VRM thermal pads yet(which I haven’t)
I will at some point but my card is running nice and stable so I won’t until I hear about newer cards(maybe like the one you just bought) doing better than mine.
I’m actually thinking about picking up an additional 1070 or maybe just a high end 1060
