About this deal

The Witcher 3, Alien Isolation, Endless Legend (which you might not think is a system hog but it actually really is), all are destroyed in the wake of this card. Maxwell is the most advanced GPU architecture ever made, designed to be the engine of next generation gaming.

On paper, the GTX 970 reference is impressive in itself, but ASUS has taken it, given it a sweet speed boost, a very effective cooler, and the awesome feature of requiring just a single 8-pin PCIe power connector. So any difference in detail between DSR and non-DSR seen in screen captures could be chalked up to the differences in the amount of pixels in the captured image, rather than what is actually visible on the screen. The GTX 970 supports all of the major display technologies introduced with the GTX 980, including Voxel Global Illumination, Dynamic Super Resolution and MultiFrame Sampled AA. It offers levels of customisation, including GPU temperature target, overclocking and unlocked voltage.Microsoft DirectX 12- NVIDIA® 3D Vision® Ready- NVIDIA SLI® Ready Technology- NVIDIA CUDA® technology- PCI Express 3. IMO, anything with room for a 2-slot GPU alongside a panel should have the entire panel adjacent to the GPU perforated, and preferably with a couple of 120mm fan mounts in the perforation. It is now September 2014 and it is abundantly clear that the 20nm nodes are not yet viable for volume production of wafers with huge transistor counts. Standard screen captures of images with DSR enabled actually save as the upscaled size, not the actual 1080p.

Unlike the fully unlocked GeForce GTX 980, which uses the same GPU but has all 2048 shaders enabled, NVIDIA has disabled some shading units on the GeForce GTX 970 to reach the product's target shader count. Even cheap enough that it doesn't matter much if I'll end up connecting it to a chassis fan header for some reason. com is a leading authority on technology, delivering lab-based, independent reviews of the latest products and services. You'll often find him writing while walking on his treadmill desk, surrounded by heaps of consumer tech. Strix GTX 970 features exclusive ASUS DIGI+ VRM with 6-phase Super Alloy Power components for enhanced durability and cooling, and GPU Tweak for overclocking and online streaming.But since most graphics cards have power cables sticking out the side, this shouldn't be an issue for most users. i gimped over a 1 year on purpose through bios because the damn thing have the black screen issue randomly in games so why 5 stars?

You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. But in a tiny Mini-ITX tower, where there's often only room for a single fan and components are nearly touching each other, heat issues can quickly become a problem and lead to throttling or, in extreme cases, damage to the card or other components. For games running on monitors with resolutions lower than 4K, this technique effectively renders the game at a higher resolution than your screen can display, then downscales it to the resolution your monitor is currently running. Whatever I do, I'll also need an adapter from a 4-pin GPU mini fan connector (female, board-side is male) to a standard 4-pin PWM fan connector (male), preferably as short as possible.One other nice touch: Asus has included a metal backplate for a cleaner look and possibly improved cooling. That’s actually a primary feature design target for Maxwell, more performance with less power consumption. In our look at the GTX 980 last week, we were left thoroughly impressed, but little did we realize at the time, the GTX 970 – and ASUS’ Strix edition in particular – was about to impress us even more. Particularly in the Graphics Subscore, which isolates our testbed's graphics hardware, the GTX 970 DirectCU landed last among today's costlier high-end, but it effectively matches the performance of Zotac's much larger overclocked GTX 970 Amp Omega Edition.
