First, I was having issues when I'm playing Dota2 with full screen mode. When I alt-tab the game and come back my fps is locked at 70fps... I switched from full screen to borderless window and fps stayed for what it is, but.. my fps won't stay 150+ it always goes down to 70-90 fps on team fights... I hate it... I saw some of the youtube videos of other people playing Dota2 with their Gtx 1070 and they have their fps stay above 150+. Whats wrong with my Msi gtx 1070? Someone help me please! Thanks in advance!

My rig:
I5 6600 3.3ghz
Msi gtx 1070 gaming x
G-skilzz 16gb ram 2400mhz ddr4
Corsair cx550m
Corsair h60

The Power Limit and Temp Limit works with Turbo Boost to set the core clock. Turbo Boost will raise the core clock until it reaches either the Power Limit or Temp Limit. So as long as your temperature is within reason, raising the Power Limit allows Turbo Boost to raise the core clock higher because it's being allowed to use more power.

As for the Prefer maximum performance, this will keep the core clock from lowering the core clock when it thinks it's being used less. The down side is that it may not fully downclock to your 2D clocks when just on the desktop. This will result in a little more power being used when idle. The reason I suggested this one is to see if it makes a difference. Sometimes the driver is very sensitive to...

Is V-sync on? Thats the first thing to check. Second, I'd install some software to monitor GPU temps, like MSI afterburner, run it in the back ground to see if your card is running at full power or whether it's throttling or cutting voltage.

I do have Msi afterburner and my v-sync is off. While playing Dota2 I get like 40-60% usage of a gpu with maximum of 62c and 70-90% usage of cpu with 25-30c

That's weird, it seems like you have reasonable temps, and fairly low GPU usage. I don't have much experience with either your GPU or Dota 2, so I might not be the most helpfull person past just the basic checks of temp and what not.

Couple of things you may want to try:

Adjust the Power Limit slider to the maximum. Then go into the nVidia Control Panel and in Manage 3D settings > Global Settings > Power management mode, set it to Prefer maximum performance. Once you've applied this, you'll need to reboot.

This should keep your core clock from downclocking while gaming. Though it may not downclock fully when on the desktop either. See if this helps.

update BIOS of the motherboard directly in BIOS not in windows

was another video card installed before your 1070?
use "ddu uninstaller" to delete all video card drivers and install the latest nvidia.com drivers again

run 3dmark basic edition and post the link which comes up at the end in your browser

This does consume more power to psu? What does it do?

The reason I suggested this one is to see if it makes a difference. Sometimes the driver is very sensitive to load changes on the GPU and mistakenly starts lowering the core clock when it shouldn't. This will stop this from happening.

Both settings have the potential to use more power than the default settings. It stands to reason that if the core clock is higher and you are under load, it will use more power. That is the nature of the beast in this case.
