Hi there


No such thing as a reference 970 exist, everybody wants one but you can't get one!

Well I've changed that, we are now offering this:-


OcUK GeForce GTX 970 "NVIDIA 970 Cooler" 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card @ £319.99 inc VAT

GX-205-OK_400.jpg


The new NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980/970 is powered by the next generation NVIDIA Maxwell Architecture, giving you incredible performance, unmatched power efficiency, and cutting-edge features.

Maxwell is the most advanced GPU architecture ever made, designed to be the engine of next generation gaming. Inspired by light, it was designed to solve some of the most complex lighting and graphics challenges in visual computing. For the first time, gaming GPU's can dynamically render indirect light using the new VXGI (Voxel Global Illumination technology). Scenes are significantly more lifelike as light interacts more realistically in the game environment.

The GTX 980 is the worlds fastest GPU and the GTX 970 offers the most advanced performance in its class. Each delivers 2x the performance of previous-generation card, bringing new gaming experiences to virtual reality, and ultra resolution 4k displays.

Enable the detail of 4k monitors, on a 1080P display. 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.

GeForce GTX 980 and 970 cards support tear-free, super-fast NVIDIA G-Sync monitor display technology including 4k. Together, these technologies provide the most immersive and competitive gaming experiences possible.

It has taken me a lot of work to make this happen, the card is built using the NVIDIA GTX 970 cooler, hence the price as its very expensive but it is the most efficient cooler especially in SLI, particular 3-way. Its a full size PCB as well so no cut backs there.

So those who asked, I have made it happen and OcUK bring you what could be the only reference design 970 in the world. :)

Decently priced as well. Great cooler and I have 3 of them (Titan coolers), so can vouch for them. Solid bits of kit.

I don't get it, aren't these supposed to be not as good as the non reference coolers.

The cooling is good, but they are very quiet, and also run much cooler in very small cases or in close SLI configurations such as 3-way. Plus they look absolutely awesome!
 
The Titan cooler is different gravy to the bog standard stock coolers. Far higher quality and far better cooling ability as well and perfect for SLI (dumps the heat straight out the back).
 
Theyre very good coolers - some of the non ref ones are slightly better but some arent, and have the advantage of spitting tbe hot air out of the case, which is particularly good for SLI

Edit: lol, what they said ^

Whilst there are third-party designs which ultimately offer better cooling performance, they're all open-air designs, meaning they vent the hot air back into the case. This is fine providing you have a roomy case with good airflow. For smaller cases and/or SLI system with cards packed closely together, the "reference" design which vents air out the backplate can be superior.
 
Love this design so much. Is the different cooler the main reason why it's priced higher than the others? Obviously aside from the fact that a reference design isn't available anywhere else but I noticed the default clocks were lower than the rest of the cards. It's very tempting but I rarely see the inside of the case to warrant spending the extra just for the design, otherwise it's my absolute favourite of them all

Yes all down to cooler, our profit on this is no higher than other 9xx series we sell.
