Exactly what it says above. In every game except Fallout 4, my 1070's core clock goes from stock 1443 MHz all the way up to around 1840 - 1860 MHz, as needed. For some reason, ever since yesterday my card refuses to boost while playing Fallout 4. It worked fine 2 days ago, but now it doesn't. I haven't updated the drivers in that 24 hour period, although I did update them AFTER that started happening (so it can't be the cause of the problem). Is there any reason why a specific game would suddenly refuse to boost, and is there any way to fix it? My card is not overclocked, it is a factory card, and a laptop card.

Check your temps. If your card runs hot it will not enable boost clock speeds. It can be that Fallout4 is the game that stresses your card the most and pushes the temps high enough that your card refuses to boost. You can use something like MSI Afterburner or HWMonitor to check your temps.
I am guessing this is a new laptop since it has the GTX1070 in it (lucky you!)
There are only 3 reasons that I can think of why it would change its behavior besides drivers.
1) You could have damaged the laptop somehow and the cooling system is not working properly. This happens often when a laptop was flexed beyond its designed parameters. This can unseat the heatsink contact with your GPU processor.
2) Dust build up in the cooling vents.
3) The GPU overheated and the damage is now permanent (very unlikely today as the card would throttle itself for self preservation, unless one of the above has happened).
