NVIDIA GTX 970 OWNERS THREAD

My Strix easily breaks 1500mhz stable on stock volts but is TDP limited and can clock down occassionally. Hopefully, it's not due to the ridiculous temps the card reaches at times. There is a tangible FPS improvement in the most demanding games.

I'm going to dabble with the overclock on my Gigabyte G1 Gaming. Are these cards voltage locked? I'm just tweaking the core and memory clocks, right?

Gibbo said he's going to get 20 for sale. I don't think they'll hang around long!

rememeber the boost !!!! the g1 with boost is 1392 out of the box.

download gpuz and check for highest gpu clock. and check the highest temp.

FORGOT! Thanks guys



incidentally.....maybe its just me.....but i *think* BF4 is smoother if i dont tinker with the clocks.

Does that make sense?

sign me up

1329mhz, not 1392mhz.

I've noticed my 970s idle at much higher temps than I would expect. The top card is currently at 46C, that's hotter than my reference 290 idled at *__*

1329mhz, not 1392mhz.

Actually it is 1392 out if the box, mine certainly was.

 

[JamesM]

Mine boosts to 1544 at stock

(with custom bios hehe)

Sorry another shameless plug here

Here is a test completed with IC Diamond Tim, that uses a MSI 4G gaming GTX 970 GPU.

hope it helps.

BTW is there a new bios for msi gtx 970 4g gaming GPU yet please?

As my card will not go past +200 on the GPU core not MATTER what volts i put through it, both with stock paste and ICD

I think its the rubbishy gpu boost that is causing the issue. Need something that will disable that.

Cheers

if the load temps are ok then i would not worry too much about idle

 

[JamesM]

idle is probably higher as no fan is moving

yes mine too.

i stuck 100+ first and its 1492 . now im on 1515mhz

EDIT : Nope GPU has got to go back, right fan is borked makes a ticking noise that increases as the fan speed does. 80% it's awful, it sounds like a fan does when it's been in a dusty case for a year

 

[thefogo]

The fans always move on these.

The fan is actually speeding up a few percent at idle just to keep temps down :/

My GPU Power is constantly going to 35% just browsing OCUK. I might try some older drivers.

 

[thefogo]

Pretty naff performance in bf4. Just dropped down to 35fps on one of the new maps

.

They move on mine too, just not so well -> Right Fan

Yeah that sounds pretty awful, I'd send it back.
