GTX 970 Owners Thread

I agree max out your PT 110% at least, 120% if possible and raise your temp limit a bit too

 

Thanks Guys
Bump it up a little more and stable thus far(kombustor,3dmark,heaven plus games)

 

woooooo finally able to get a new card,been using this old hd4870 since i had to sell my 670 last yr when i needed the money, just ordered a gigabyte g1 gaming 970

 

Thought id join the fray with my card. Bought the HOF edition and I'm not disappointed, ran firestrike and got a nice result...

Spoiler

Overclocked on stock Voltage, Ive managed 1592 core with temps around 49 degrees! and memory at +150 offset.

 

those gpu-z readings are all messed up. old version?

 

Yeah it is, good point actually lol

whats wrong with the readings?

Edit: nevermind I see now

 

New one...

 

Well, back with Nvidia after 8 long years with AMD's cards.

I'm feeling pretty confident that I don't have to bother with compromising on graphical detail for a little while at least, considering I only have 1080p monitors and I don't really need anti-aliasing. :dave:

 

MSI has 5 GTX970 models. I thought the clocks might have been for a specific model but found they are Gaming Mode clocks for their GTX970 gaming.
I do not understand the logic of referring to Gaming mode clocks when all other specification list the OC mode clocks.

1140MHz Core (Boost Clock:1279MHz) (OC Mode)
1114MHz Core (Boost Clock:1253MHz) (Gaming Mode)
1051MHz Core (Boost Clock:1178MHz) (Silent Mode)

 

Should I get the Gigabyte G1? What's the consensus on the best models out right now?

 

well u have a GTX 780 yea? would there that much of a performance boost?

 

My 780 appears to have torched it's VRM phase in Civ V as of yesterday. I enforced a custom fan profile in Afterburner to get temps down. That's it. When the screen exploded into artifacts, it was only running at 73C, 72% fan, and 980Mhz. Essentially stock boost. Basically, I can either run it at bone stock and cry as it throttles down to 863Mhz, or buy something new.

I also can't stand the fan noise and the fact it's always been a poor clocker.

 

maxwell today for me, first choice would be centered around coil whine, i'd prolly take the overclockers no coil whine guarantee card or the asus mini 970 being released in two days.
980s and 970s are plagued by coil whine.
my preferred shop would be amazon for one as returns are easy there.
*wrong thread but whatever.

 

oh... in that case dude, get the 970... u can OC it like crazy and u have 1gb more vram over ur 780

 

There is some software that comes on the driver cd (forgot what its called) that lets you switch between modes, if you dont install the software it defaults to oc mode anyway so its pretty pointless as the card boosts to around 1350mhz at stock clocks

 

Zero CW on my two. LOVE them.

 

it has arrived early merry christmas to me lol

 

not sure about the memory,but it is rev 1.1,its silent i have looked a few times to make sure lol

 

Tossup between MSI Gaming and Gigabyte G1 for most popular (bought).

 

yep,bios version 84.04.28.00.4C and the hynix memory
