NVIDIA GTX 970 OWNERS THREAD

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

He He honest mistake. ;)
 
Seriously considering ordering a GTX 970 from OCUK, thinking about the Gigabyte G1 Gaming or KFA2 Black Edition, both on this week only. Which is the one to go for or is there a better version to get? I will be gaming at 1080p on spec in sig, just ordered my Asus Z97 Pro gamer motherboard earlier. I assume my XFX Pro 650W PSU will be okay? I have been tempted by a 980 but I imagine I won't get the benefit at 1080p? Thanks :)
 
Picked up 2x Asus GTX970 Strix cards today. They seem really nice, good build quality, smart look that would fit most build colour combos.

I also like that it uses a single 8pin power adapter, means less cables in the case. Also not sure if all 970's are the same but it seems the voltage is fixed at 1.212v as no matter what i change they stay at that.

Well tell a lie, 1 is at 1.187v and the other is at 1.212v and no changing of the voltage in MSI Afterburner alters it. What i ended up doing is lowering the 1.187v cards overclock by 1 compared to the other card and then they both run at 1.212v.

I have both running 1509MHz boost on the core and 8012Mhz on the memory. They run below 70c and are within the 120 power limit.

Look under manage "3d settings tab", that's where you can change it.

With regards to the full range colour thing, can you not scroll down that page more? I think it's at the bottom.

There's a bug in the drivers that prevents cards in SLI from running at the same voltage.

The slave cards always run at a lower voltage compared to the primary card, this limits clocks.
 
Mine run at 1501 boost for about a minute then drop to 1489 and are rock stable. Anyone seen that happen? Doesn't bother me but weird!
 
Can you all understand my excitement at this 970? My other graphics stuff is this 3570k's HD4000 which... is hd4000. And a GeForce4 Ti

major update, also my highest tier card ever - 2 rather than 3 or 4th

I CANT WAIT so excited i had to tell you all about it at 5am
