MSI NVIDIA GTX 970 Gaming Twin Frozr HDMI DVI-I DP Graphics Card (4GB, PCI Express, DDR5, 256 Bit)

Product Information

This is a relatively narrow range which indicates that the Nvidia GTX 970 performs reasonably consistently under varying real world conditions. com Limited is an Appointed Representative of Compare The Market Limited who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Of course, servicing that large increase in pixel-count requires a meaty graphics card - and perhaps a reduction in quality settings in-game. Bought mine some days ago, just got it 2 day, installed it, tried first with 100Mhz extra, as I saw Jay2Cent run it at 1500Mhz without any problems, mine took the 100 while staying at 53c, dropped 50Mhz on top, stayed at 53c, and ran test without any problems, but one thing is benchmark's, another games, will c how it do, so fare no OV or MEM OC. We round off our metrics with a look at power consumption - an area where Maxwell rules with an iron fist.

With GDDR5 clockspeeds all but tapped out, NVIDIA appears to have reached the limits of GDDR5 as a technology, hence their long-term interest in HBM for future architectures and improved color compression for current architectures. Two 100mm downdraft Torx fans provide airflow, with MSI boasting their new fan design offers 19 percent better airflow and five percent less noise (at 100 percent fan speed). Man, selling my GTX 1080 literally about a month before the crypto-surge is looking more and more like a bad move every day. We think it a shame that no AIC here has opted for the upgraded triple DisplayPort connectivity seen on the GTX 980, though admittedly it may have driven up costs to do so. We re-run our 1080p tests at the higher resolution and find that the GTX 970 still manages to deliver the goods.

A miniature heatsink takes care of cooling the main GPU MOSFETs near the rear I/O, while a metal contact plate equipped with thermal pads is used to cool three of the four front PCB memory chips as well as the remaining power circuitry including the memory MOSFETs and the VR controllers. SkyBill40 - Saturday, September 20, 2014 - link I've got an 8800 GTS 640MB still running in my mom's rig that's far more than what she'd ever need.

It is, and I've considered putting my son's RX 5700 up for sale, and swapping him back to his RX 580.

The results demonstrate that you're still looking for a dual GPU solution for anything approaching 60fps gaming - some might consider the combination of combination of circa 30fps frame-rates with pared back settings too much of a compromise. With the way things stand now, two 970s in SLI will be cheaper, cooler, quieter and far more power-efficient.

This is the Maxwell-specific technology that allows users to access much higher rendering resolutions for their games, with the GPU downscaling on the fly to the native pixel-count of the display.

The underlying GM204 GPU core has much in common with the GTX 980, except here it consumes less power as part of the chip is disabled. MSI’s GTX 970 Gaming 4G has a slightly less aggressive overclock, running at 1,140MHz and boosting to 1,279MHz. However, the GTX 970 and the other graphics cards featured in this piece were tested at the Digital Foundry office. NVIDIA's unique set of features-such as multi-res shading-mean you get the right level of performance, image quality, and latency to ensure your VR experience is nothing short of amazing.

According to the Steam hardware survey, 95 per cent of PC gamers use this resolution, and we'd be willing to bet that the vast majority of those screens operate at 60Hz.

As with past 80/70 parts this is a two tier launch, with GTX 980 being NVIDIA’s new flagship card and 1 st tier GM204 card, while GTX 970 offers 2 nd tier performance at much lower pricing. This isn't a great result which indicates that there are much faster alternatives on the comparison list. And those cards are likely much newer — but possibly used for 24/7 mining, so don't count on getting a pristine GPU either way. Great little card, was playing games like overwatch 2 and legend of legends on pretty high graphic settings.
