Would be nice to see a drop in price on the 970. Tempted to grab another. But when you add the cost of two 970's you would be better off with a 980ti.

Not running any AA, shouldn't be hitting 3.5GB without it I wouldn't think? Will try lowering some other stuff I suppose.

Easy enough to run afterburner and check your vram usage in the game.

It sounds most likely. Do you run from SSD?

Had the same problem with GTA and it was due to it being on an SSD. As soon as I moved it to my HD it was fine

What are the fans like? I read they get loud under load.

I dont find they do. Most reviews say they are quiet. I cant hear them anyway as I have a Noctua which is quite loud anyway.
They are not loud tho in any way.

I must have been thinking about a different 970 as I've just had a look at a few reviews and they do say it's quiet. G1 it is then
It's a long card tho, so measure up.

Check out that video someone posted here with multiple 970s running at idle and under load.
The MSI gaming was quieter than the G1 under load and would definitely sway me from buying the G1 over the MSI.

I finally bit the bullet and upgraded my HiS HD 7950 Boost to a KFA2 GTX 970 OC Silent "Infin8 Black Edition" (just before the price went back up). I was very happy with the 7950, it gave me two and a half years of faultless service but this 970 is much faster, a fair bit quieter, runs a lot cooler and is considerably smaller than the HiS. I've been running around in Witcher 3 for a few hours to give it a workout and with HairWorks disabled (didn't think it added much to the game) I'm getting a constant 60f/s (v/sync on as my TV only goes to 60Hz) @1920 x 1080.

Is 1442 stock boost clock a reasonable speed for a 970? I'm just wondering if it's even worth bothering trying to overclock it.

Yeah that's decent for stock.
Yea thats really good,the max Boost clock possible out of the box is 1455mhz
Still might have another 100mhz to squeeze out the core,would give it a bash

Is my 970 maxing everything at 1080p?

I have the KFA Infin8 970 and must say it's a cracking card at 1080p. Currently playing Witcher3 at the GeForce experience settings and it runs like hot butter off a knife

^ 970 Reference here but same results. It dropped to 56fps at one point. I was okay with this though.
Not OC'd yet either.

Getting awful stuttering in BF4 at 4K
Like, the game completely freezing for half a second at a time.
Constantly reporting 40-65 FPS but it feels unplayably bad.
It was the 64 bit client, using the 32 bit one works fine ._.
