Nvidia partners working around GTX 1070 Ti factory-overclock ban

One way or the other

By now, it is obvious that Nvidia has placed a block on GTX 1070 Ti factory-overclocking for its partners, but it appears that partners are finding different solutions to get their factory-overclocked versions to the market, one way or another.

According to Videocardz.com, partners are not allowed to modify BIOSes to ship the GTX 1070 Ti with higher GPU clock speeds, but strangely, even Nvidia officially claims that GTX 1070 Ti was designed with plenty of headroom for overclocking. This is a big surprise, and has put Nvidia AIC partners in an awkward position, forcing them to find a way to overclock their custom versions without breaking the deal with Nvidia.
