About this deal

The GTX 980 is the worlds fastest GPU and the GTX 970 offers the most advanced performance in its class. The GM204 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 398 mm² and 5,200 million transistors. This is an auto-generated long summary of ASUS STRIX-GTX970-DC2OC-4GD5 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 4 GB GDDR5 based on the first three specs of the first five spec groups. Just tried it with nothing more than 150Mhz extra core clock, saw it boost to 1577, and stayed at 53c. Running games at 4K, whether for real on a 4K screen or to pre-render for DSR, takes much more pixel-pushing power than running at 1080p.

USED/TESTED GPU: All units are taken from recycled systems and fully cleaned and tested with 3DMark .DSR produces smoother images by rendering a game at a high resolution, then downscaling it to the native resolution of the display using advanced filtering. Today is testimony to that as we see two products performing in the GTX 780 Ti range of performance, but both will consume much less power.

Each delivers 2x the performance of previous-generation card, bringing new gaming experiences to virtual reality, and ultra resolution 4k displays. What that means: Nvidia says its newest cards accelerate VXGI to the point that game developers can compute global lighting in-game, so that lighting effects can interact in real time with game elements (such as characters), rather than just be projected onto static surfaces like floors, walls, and furniture. Inoltre è garantita piena compatibilità con tutto il pacchetto software annunciato qualche mese addietro in occasione dell'esordio di Maxwell, oltre ai filtri TXAA, PhysX e occlusione ambientale HBAO+, conta nuove feature come il Dynamic Super Resolution (DSR) che lavora sulla risoluzione per restituire un'immagine più pulita e definita, la Voxel Global Illumination per una renderizzazione più realistica delle luci, dei riflessi e dell'illuminazione negli spazi aperti, e i nuovi filtri MFAA. Got this to replace an EVGA GTX 660 which struggled a little with elite dangerous at 2560*1440 while bounty hunting RES unless I dialed down the detail. Valley, like Unigine's Heaven, is not a game, but a graphical workout that's a taxing measure of DirectX 11 prowess.VR is a game changer for games such as Elite Dangerous, Portal 3, Flight simulator, Project cars and who knows the elusive Half Life 3 may make an appearance from Valve as being VR optimised, lets keep our fingers crossed. With several design goals in mind (higher performance and lower power consumption) Nvidia was hoping to reach 20nm by the time their high-end product would be released.

Silent at low loads, Nearsilent under load, Runs cool when under the cosh, Almost as fast as a GTX 780 Ti, Efficient compared to lastgen, , Mild core overclock, Only one DisplayPort output, No memory overclock, Asus GeForce GTX 970 Strix OC, HEXUS. 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.Not everyone cares about power consumption, but I have a hard time not being blown-away by the fact that this card wipes the floor with most of this line-up, but proves the most power-efficient. When purchasing a graphics card, there are a lot of choices, and a lot of factors, that need to be considered when looking at manufacturers; what accessories are included, what features does it offer over other manufacturer's graphics cards, does it hav. Software issues (a ny problems associated with software – whether bundled or installed by user, file corruption, internet setup etc. 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.

Strix GTX 970 also features 0 dB fan technology to let gamers enjoy total silence during light gameplay as well as Blu-ray movie playback free from distracting background noise. To test, the general area around the chassis is checked with a temperature gun, with the average temperature recorded. But for recent demanding titles, bumping up to 4K with the GTX 970 is generally going to drop the frame rate to unpleasing or unplayable levels.

It's also not as powerful as the R9 Nano, but it does deliver about 75 percent of the Nano's pixel-pushing abilities—which is enough to play most games at high settings at 1440p or below. The Asus GTX970 Strix OC is a mean looking card – the artwork is intentionally minimalistic, fitting in with the theme. Having played with MFAA, we can certainly say it works, and it looks as good as MSAA (or nearly so). They say it has great performance, runs most Steam and valve games superbly, and is twice to three times as fast as a GTX 650. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.
