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

Product Information

The low-performance segment is significantly slower to access than the high-performance segment, hampering performance. To put the figures into context, we should stress that this is complete system load measured at the wall with a watt meter. 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. 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.

Once again we see that overclocking the GTX 970 eliminates the deficits for the most part, allowing it to compete directly with its bigger brother.The GTX 970 was understood to have three fewer streaming processors than the GTX 980, meaning fewer texture units and a slower core clock speed, but otherwise retain the same 4GB of GDDR5 memory and 2MB of L2 cache for accessing it. as standard equipment helps with almost all modern games, and you’ll notice the difference over 8GB systems. The Twin Frozr V cooler has a plastic shroud, though it's well built, and an aggressive and attractive red and black colour scheme that suits the all-black PCB well.

Features:-- Voxel Global Illumination Technology (VXGI)- NVIDIA® Super Resolution technology- NVIDIA® GameWorks technology- NVIDIA® GameStream technology- NVIDIA® TXAA Technology- NVIDIA GPU Boost 2. 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.It doesn't quite hit the enthusiast gamer pricing sweet spot, but it offers so much raw performance that the additional premium makes it seem like a no-brainer. This means that 16 SMMs are enabled (2048 CUDA cores), as are all 64 ROPs and the full 256-bit memory bus. kron123456789 - Friday, September 19, 2014 - link "it also marks the end of support for NVIDIA’s D3D10 GPUs: the 8, 9, 100, 200, and 300 series. As anti-aliasing goes, you're never going to beat the brute-force approach of rendering at a much higher resolution and downscaling - as the DSR examples we previously ran, repeated below, should demonstrate.

This design ensure heat is transferred through all the pipes effectively, unlike in the EVGA solution where one of the pipes barely connects with the GPU. NVIDIA for the longest time has held to 2GB/3GB of memory for their cards, so it is a welcome sight to see that they are now making 4GB their standard, especially if they are going to target 4K gaming. Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page. We've essentially clawed back all of the performance (even moving slightly ahead in some cases) in all of our test titles, with just Crysis 3 falling a little short.However, the GTX 970 and the other graphics cards featured in this piece were tested at the Digital Foundry office. If you need the ultimate card for a compact gaming PC, the Asus GTX 970 DC Mini is the one to have; it’s much more expensive than the Sapphire R9 285 2GB GDDR5 ITX Compact Edition, but also much more powerful. is the next step, ultra-HD gaming displays are becoming more numerous and cheaper - and the GPU vendors like to consider that their products are future-proof. FXAA DSR with FXAA 4x MSAA DSR with 4x MSAA Here's Assassin's Creed 4 running at 1080p with FXAA and 4x MSAA, with comparisons on the same game running the same settings with Nvidia's DSR tech engaged. 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.

Crysis 3 - GTX 970 vs R9 290/ R9 290X Gameplay Frame-Rate Tests The 1080p Crysis 3 max settings challenge puts the GTX 970 behind the flagship 980, but comprehensively bests the AMD Radeon R9 290.

It is, and I've considered putting my son's RX 5700 up for sale, and swapping him back to his RX 580. The GPU is cooled by a massive nickel-plated copper baseplate, to which the four heat pipes (two 8mm, two 6mm, also nickel-plated) are soldered to. joepaxxx - Thursday, September 18, 2014 - link It's not just about having access to the process technology and fab.
