Hi there


My baby is here, featuring full coil whine reduction technology with a zero coil whine guarantee or your money back. With killer aesthetics from the Nickel plating, all black design and finely tuned BIOS for higher factory OC. :eek:




GALAX GeForce GTX 970 OC Silent "Infinity Black Edition" 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card **WorldWide Exclusive** @ £299.99 inc VAT

Since Overclockers UK introduced our Infinity system range, demand for high performance zero compromise systems has exploded. Our Infinity brand represents performance hardware coupled with a unique and stylish aesthetic.

Since the release of high end Maxwell architecture, the hardware game has changed. The new GeForce cards offer revolutionary new technologies and class leading performance alongside low operating temperatures and impressive power consumption.

The GALAX GeForce GTX 970 OC Silent "Infinity Black Edition" is a collaboration of one of the largest Nvidia board partners worldwide, Overclockers UK Graphics Specialist: Andrew Gibson and Overclockers UK Technical Specialist & Overclocking World Champion, Ian ‘8Pack’ Parry.

Originally the Galax 970 EX OC Black Edition was intended as a high performance option for customers looking for the ultimate gaming experience with class leading performance. Our close partnership with Galax allowed us to specify a list of important modifications that would make the GALAX GeForce GTX 970 OC Silent "Infinity Black Edition" a real show stopper.

Primarily, to fit the Infinity aesthetic, we demanded that the external design of our Black Edition card was sleek and stealthy. Adding to the already imposing look of the Galax design, this new, aggressive appearance really highlights the intent behind this product.

Additionally to the colour change, we included a nickel plated I/O plate, heatsink and heatpipes to compliment the premium nature of the product. The already impressive backplate on the card has been accented with a stylish "Infinity: Inspired by 8 Pack" decal.
The imposing looks of the card would be nothing without the ‘go’ to back up all the show.

Building on the already impressive performance of the GTX 970 platform, world class overclocking expertise from 8Pack has been implemented to fine tune the BIOS of this card to achieve maximum safe, reliable performance from the GTX 970.

As an industry leading gaming and high end hardware specialist, Overclockers UK understands the importance of offering a product that meets a customer’s expectation. A major worry for any enthusiast is operational noise under load. We have used this knowledge to reduce coil whine by using higher quality components and also using glue to attach the inductors to the PCB to help reduce electrical vibrations which help reduce whine.

This collaboration with Galax has allowed us to build what we believe to be the finest example of a GTX 970 on the market today.

This product is exclusively available from Overclockers UK and Caseking group throughout UK and Europe. We suggest European customers visit www.caseking.de to purchase this card in Western Europe and Eastern European customers purchase from http://www.kellytech.hu/

I am very proud of what I have created here and because I wanted a hit I sent KitGuru one of my cards to review for in time with this launch.



KitGuru Review

In short KitGuru state is as being the best 970 they ever tested, read the review for yourselves:

Overclock results on Kitguru aren't any better then the cheaper cards.

Yep, that's what put me off originally from buying the black ex oc before I purchased my Gigabyte G1. This card may have quality in regards to coil whine control but severely lacking in overclocking. ( Not extreme )

I think it's more to do with the volts than power limits as kitguru did state they raised the clocks to 1476 before artifacts
 
Awesome

Definitely getting this! i was gonna get the Asus 970, but after seeing this :O
can't preorder it just yet, gonna have to wait till it comes out

The best... But what are it's max overclocks, power limits and voltages ? :)



Oh, was expecting more :p

I've achieved 1620MHz actual in GPU-z sensor which reports 1540MHz on GPU-z.

So if KitGuru achieved 1476MHz, so was probably actual 1540-1560 in reality.

Nice, not sure why review sites don't show actual readouts in games

No idea, as it is a widely known issue.

For example our card is set in BIOS at 1329MHz boost out the box, but in reality under sensors it is boosting out of box at 1404MHz. :)

I got mine upto 1620MHz under sensors during benchmarking, which was about 1540Mhz under GPU-z. :)
