GTX 970 G1 Gaming SLI - High stock voltage.

[mull54]

Hi guys!

I have two GTX 970 G1 Gaming and the top cards is running at 70C with a voltage of 1.15v at full load. And the other card is running at 65c with a voltage of 1.25v. Isn't that a bit high for a stock volt?

Also the ASIC quality is 74.8% for the 1.15v card and 66% for the 1.206v. Should i return it for a "better" card or is this nothing to worry about?

Lower asic = more voltage i believe.

So the card works and you want to return it? I'm going to try not to insult you now...

Well, if he does return it, he'll lose up to 25% under the new rules.

put the cooler card in the top slot if you have blower type coolers.

I can see why OCUK have so many B Grade Cards

When buying online I do not need to use a product to know I want it, as I simply know I want it and hence is the reason I am buying it. If I use it then I have used it and it is no longer new.

With a monitor it is different, if the picture isn't satisfactory then surely it is because it has a fault and will refund/exchange the unit.

For examples monitors with backlight bleed, we take back no questions asked, for people with genuine reasons we will sort out no issue, but this is because we class these things more as faults and not un-wanted.

Someone returning a graphics card because it does not overclock as well as they hope, is clearly no fault of the product and as such they have used it and will be charged a re-stocking fee.

+1

Depending on space the the top card will always run hotter, temps look fine to me

Ah, knew the dsr's had changed, didnt realise OC had made such drastic changes to their t&c
Will lead to some interesting test cases anyway as the law is a bit fuzzy, and i'd be willing to bet that credit card companies will still fold under pressure

I don't loose any money on returning it. The store i bought it from have "free" returns.

They don't clock well and i have some problems with both the voltage and benchmark scores.

any chance of a photo of them in sli, thinking of adding another G1 to my system

 

[Twirlywoos]

Aren't the G1 cards and a few others cherry picked? I'm sure I read it in one review, hence why I'm surprised at this. Anyway what are you using to get the voltage reading, gpuz?
