About this deal

joepaxxx - Thursday, September 18, 2014 - link It's not just about having access to the process technology and fab. 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.

Comparing the GTX 970 and 780 Ti shows that the two cards offer comparable performance yet the new GTX 970 costs nearly half as much! The GTX 970 offers broadly equivalent performance to the 780 Ti on Crysis 3 and Battlefield 4, while it is highly unlikely that many would notice any difference at all in terms of BioShock Infinite or Metro Last Light performance. Nvidia originally pitched the GTX 970 as a die-harvested derivative of the flagship GTX 980 – this means the company would re-use chips that weren’t able to run at full GTX 980 speeds for the less powerful model, rather than let them go to waste. GeForce GTX 970 1080p vs GTX 980/ R9 290/ 290X Benchmark Tests 1080p is the most popular gaming resolution - here we run a suite of demanding benchmarks at maximum settings to see what this graphics card is capable of.

Standard 1080p DSR (internal 2560x1440) DSR (internal 3840x2160) Dark Souls 2 offers no anti-aliasing options whatsoever, you're stuck with console-style post-process anti-aliasing that doesn't do a great job on the grass here. Just tried it with nothing more than 150Mhz extra core clock, saw it boost to 1577, and stayed at 53c. We would have loved to review the GTX 970 in concert with its bigger brother last week, but curiously Nvidia decided not to sample it to reviewers, instead leaving it to third party board-makers to supply the press. Built on the 28 nm process, and based on the GM204 graphics processor, in its GM204-200-A1 variant, the card supports DirectX 12. In the first case, the GTX 970 faces off against its AMD competition - the Radeon R9 290 and the more expensive version of the Hawaii technology, the R9 290X.

Maxwell is the most advanced GPU architecture ever made, designed to be the engine of next generation gaming. That's certainly a big part of the risk, but in absolute performance even aging Maxwell still performs okay — it's actually slightly faster than Nvidia's GTX 1650, for example (not the 1650 Super or 1650 GDDR6, though). Moving to a smaller process isn't out of nVidia's reach, I just don't think they have a competitive incentive to spend the money on it. Obviously the new Ampere GPUs are near the top of the list, but Pascal GPUs continue to sell a lot of units as well. The fan blades alternate between traditional blades that direct airflow to the heatsink, and dispersion blades with a small ridge in them that draw in more air and push it into the path of the normal blades blades, essentially accelerating the airflow.

AIB profits will be hardest hit when the bubble pops, and they'll be the ones dealing with RMAs for years to come. This PC has a well paired quad core i5 CPU and GPU, so you won’t come across any bottlenecks during gaming, maximising your game smoothness at all times. 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?
