After the latest nvidia driver update (375.86) my graphics cards memory clock is stays at its idle 810MHz. It is killing my FPS... I've tried a clean install... reinstall... It is Samsung GDDR5 BTW I know people are having issues with microns memory right now but this has never happened until now. This is happening to all my games so its not the game engines fault.

Turns out it is an issue with AIB cards that have OC memory from factory.

Just a quick update on the memory clock speed stuck at 810MHz issue. This issue seems to affect some factory overclocked GeForce GTX 1060/1070/1080 cards. We have reproduced this issue and identified the root cause. A hotfix driver will be made available as soon as a fix has been confirmed.

DO NOT update to the latest 375.86 drivers! I repeat, DO NOT update to the latest 375.86 drivers!

Multiple reports of users using the 10 series cards are having low FPS on all games (<30 FPS at 1080p on my 1070 Zotac Amp Extreme on all my games and Heaven) caused by the drivers forcing the VRAM clock to only 810 mhz effective. Issue doesn't appear when I was using 375.70 and now running at 375.76. DDU and Clean Installs were always used.

I was looking for answers on this same issue, I had just made a fresh OS install so it did not occur to me that it was the new driver until I saw your post.
I uninstalled the drivers and did a clean install from the disk that came with the card "same as your's 1070 extreme amp", driver version 368.39 and everything is working fine, memory clock is doing what it should be, however now I have to wait until nvidia fixes this because I can't play Battlefield 1 in anything lower than 375.xx. thanks and good luck.
EDIT: I did use a DDU before I got the final step mentioned above.
