NVIDIA GTX 970 OWNERS THREAD

So i've got OcUK GeForce GTX 970 "NVIDIA 970 Cooler Edition" 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

Not had chance to use it yet but i'm wondering where exactly would i get latest drivers online for it? this is my first gaming card i've owned.

Normally you would go to the manufacturers website but the manufacturer is overclockers. Do i get them directly from NVidia's website?

Cheers
 
I think thats a bit wrong.

According to the Steam Survey Dec 2014 the most common resolution is still 1080p.

Well I based my comment on this and other previous Nvidia guides.

Read down to the Far Cry 4 Optimal Playable Settings bit:

"If you do like fiddling, here are game setting recommendations for vast array of NVIDIA GPUs, with the aim of maintaining at least forty frames per second at all times at 1920x1080, the most popular gaming resolution."

Indeed you are right. I read 1920x1080 as 1200p.... :o

i tried every driver with my g1

344.11 seems to be my personal fav.

performance is great for the cards. heat is super cool . noise on mine is almost non existent only thing i don't like is the image quality compared to AMD which i think is quite a bit better.

I've noticed a few comments about amd image quality being better,I may have a suggestion that's worth a try.when you first install an nvidia card the texture quality setting in manage 3d setting,global settings is set at QUALITY.clicking the drop down menu gives you an option to select HIGH QUALITY.This might be possibly what's causeing an apparent inferior image quality to amd?

Worth a try,once it's set all future driver installs default to high quality ,it just seems to be when you install a new gpu that it appears to select a lower quality option.

dash thanks for the heads up, ive changed to high quality and looks to be a improvement if im not imagining it
 
hasn't got a option for high quality just quality.

you guys using HDMI ? wondering if that is why there isnt this option for DVI just quality.
