GTX1070 Linux installation and mining clue

"As you might have read i got 18 GTX1070 and posted some benchmark information earlier (http://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/comment/42663). @vaulter asked to some some details (@vaulter perhaps you can add your GTX1080 findings, settings?) In this topic i want to place the more technical notes how you can get this working. The short summery: Yes i managed to get 6x GTX1070 running at 218.11MH/s with heavy tuning / overclocking, but no idea how this would hold long term. Currently i keep them at 192,88MH/s (x3 rigs) which seem to be the 'safe overclocking defaults' to me. Who knows how stuff progresses with updates from @Genoil and if its running under a windows driver stable and fast. Safe to say with the lesser power consumption AND more MH/s then a card like R9 390X this GTX1070 with its price is a very nice card to have (especially if you run apps that only run good on Nvidia cards)

It took me quite a while to get it working and this document only contains 5% of my notes and stuff, its the minimum to get you started and you will need to do some tuning on your own to max your card out. Some stuff aren't as good as i like yet (e.g. headless VNC access without the use of a monitor) but it works and more importantly its stable. Thanks go out to @Genoil for his clue and his work on ethminer. This document is not entirely ment as a walk-through as some knowledge on mining, linux overclocking and common sense is still required ... So here goes."
