NVIDIA GTX 970 OWNERS THREAD

My two galax 970 ex oc will oc to 1468 MHz befor gives in regardless of voltage or tweaks , will find out soon which is the weaker card when test seperate , both hit 8000mhz on the memory no bother , will c how high they go tho.

How!? My asic is just 69% could that have something to do with it?

I wouldn't say so, as my ASIC is 61% :p

It will have an effect on voltage control with the standard BIOS, the BIOS won't let the voltage go over a set limit (1.25v IIRC), so if the card has a very high ASIC and uses 1.1V stock then it will take the whole 87mv in AB, if it has a low ASIC and needs 1.24v at stock then regardless of what is set in AB it can't add more than 10mv.
 
Oh well, since everyone seems to be:

My EVGA 970 ACX 1.0 will only do +100 on the mem, as does the EVGA 980..

Memory clocking poor this time around :/ for EVGA...

The 970 has an ASIC of 63% but it does boost to 1500Ghz BF4 stable for 3 hours+ with no extra volts.
 
Anyone here got coil whine bad? never had it with a card before but this is so noticeable with my giga 970 g1 its annoying. Gets really loud when playing games.
 
This is strange, my card overclocked a lot better today, this is the best stable OC I could get



Is it safe to leave it at this whilst gaming, I tend to play hours on end :)
 
Did some tweaking tonight and basically i've come to the conclusion that i'm limited with the bios on the card.

I've run 1614 core and 4059 memory = 1643
1604 core and 4104 memory = 1649
1607 core and 4104 memory = 1650
1614 core and 4082 memory = 1650

All heaven 4 benchmark scores

Each time GPUz has reported a PerfCap reason for not enough power.

Damn it

Those are still amazing over clocks though!
