Asus GeForce STRIX-GTX970-DC2OC-4GD5 256 Bit Graphics Card, 4 GB GDDR5

Product Information

I guess designs with known fan specifications might use rpm numbers, but that would still require an additional layer of translation between rpm in the software/firmware and pwm signalling to the fan. Even under load GPU Tweak tells me the fans are running at 30% but you wouldn't think it because I just can't hear it. Still, Nvidia does have a few interesting new features emerging with its latest cards, which are worth going over briefly.

In all the games played so far, the graphics card has lived up to the silent promises and this is even when the temperatures are starting to rise.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.

We have reviewed a handful of ASUS Strix solutions already and have been impressed with their ‘hybrid' configuration which disables the fans when a specific c. This short summary of the ASUS STRIX-GTX970-DC2OC-4GD5 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 4 GB GDDR5 data-sheet is auto-generated and uses the product title and the first six key specs.Inspired by light, it was designed to solve some of the most complex lighting and graphics challenges in visual computing.

A plus here is that the GPU actually has a very nice ITX-sized PCB, which will in all likelihood give it a long life in various builds around the house once I deal with the noise issue. 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. And under load the card emits a slight low-end whir that you won't likely hear a few feet from the case—especially over your CPU and case fan(s). So Nvidia pretty much had to go with plan B and stuck with 28nm, this makes their silicon sizable, in relative proportions of course. But once again, both compact cards were able to deliver playable frame rates at all resolutions, up to and including 4K.For those amongst you wo are looking for an upgrade that can promise being future proof and handle the new technologies coming online then this is the card for you. Standard screen captures of images with DSR enabled actually save as the upscaled size, not the actual 1080p. To test, the general area around the chassis is checked with a temperature gun, with the average temperature recorded. But it's still far more affordable than either of those compact AMD cards, and it's nearly as tiny as the Radeon R9 Nano, at 6.

inch longer than the Radeon R9 Nano, but the card is effectively the same length/width of a Mini-ITX motherboard, so it may be a tighter fit than the R9 Nano, but it should fit in the same compact cases. Discrete graphics card memory: 4 GB, Graphics card memory type: GDDR5, Memory bus: 256 bit, Memory clock speed: 7010 MHz. We guarantee this product against all hardware faults for a period of 12 months from receipt of the product. Fantastic pricing, Passive operation in idle/low load, Very quiet in gaming, Low power consumption, Greatly improved efficiency, Overclocked out of the box, Good overclocking potential, HDMI 2. 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.The company says that it employs a "13-tap Gaussian filter" during the downscaling process to reduce the aliasing artifacts that often happen when you downscale a video signal. Yes, correct, GM204 and not GM210, meaning Nvidia is once again using the ‘high-end’ and not ‘enthusiast class’ chip to empower the product series we are about to review. The GTX 980 is the worlds fastest GPU and the GTX 970 offers the most advanced performance in its class.
