Hello dear people from the forum. Today I finally received my new GTX 1070 and swaped it with the famous 750ti I had been using for more then a year now. Since I work with heavy masterplan/birdseye scenes, with 50 plus and sometimes even more then 200 milion poligons, the upgrade was something I was really looking forward to in the past few months.
As soon as I pluged it I started some of my biggest scenes on both workstations. Mine which now has the 1070 and the other one which now has the 750ti. I opened the same scene using Max 2014 and Vray, and to my regret I can officially say I am disappointed. The fluidity of work on both computers is pretty much exactly the same. Even when I try to further traumatize the scene by setting proxies to visible, the scene slows down on both computers again exactly the same way. Material browser loads also the same speed. Note that I am using a i7-4960x clocked at 4.4ghz and the other machine is an i5-4690k clocked at 4.5ghz. So the difference in clock speed is only 100Mhz which should be negligible since Max viewport performance is not a multicore process.
At the end I even tried the famous graphics benchmark even though it has nothing to do with real world performance what so ever. At least in my case:

What is funny about this one is that the 750ti was actually better in all viewport preview configurations by 10-20% then the gtx 1070 lol?
As a conclusion I wanted to ask the members here who have experiance with the 1070 or have this very card in their computers if this issue is related more to the 3ds Max verions I own now? Should upgrading to a newer version like 2016 or even 2017 solve the issue with the 1070 and is this driver related? Also to note that I use Windows 7.
Best,
Vuk
