NVIDIA GTX 970 OWNERS THREAD

And 480 SLI and a 6990 lol
I'm not expecting high clocks on the cheapo cooler but I'll give it a go.

I don't think you'll do bad actually. I hope you get some good ones.

Finally building my first PC with an MSI 970. Looking forward to gaming at 1080p, 60fps.

 

[xraycat87]

My score seems low? I dunno :/

Turn integrated graphics off in the bios and run again @ 1920 x 1080

More like 1080p 120fps

More like 1080p 120fps

Monitor's are only 60 Hz

Here ya go

Thats better, very similiar to my score which is not surprising when its the same CPU and GPU.

What clocks ?

Mine are currently
GPU 1400/7500
CPU 4.3ghz

 

[xraycat87]

CPU 3.4ghz

gpu with or without boost? also my memory clock says 1912mhz on GPU-Z

Just spent 3 hours searching for an sli bridge only to realise the what I thought was a crossfire bridge I found in my draw was indeed actually an sli bridge grrrrrr

On another note how are these cards running watchdogs? Are we hitting a solid 60 at ultra yet without drops to the 40s while driving?

I'm hitting around 90FPS driving drops it down abit.

25 970's would struggle to run Watchdogs at a decent rate as it is a broken pile of UBi crap...

Cool. Is that with 1 970 I take it?
If so it should mean I can actually play the bloody game now when my 2 cards arrive.

Oh well I only need another say 48 cards and I should be sweet.
With the power requirements 50 cards in SLI will finally match a 290x for power consumption




I'll get my coat

Bare in mind im only playing at 1080p though

Yeah me too. I'm itching to try out the new DSR thingy though

 

[MOOGLEYS]

Here ya go

This is my 290 at stock just to compare. Overclocking the 970 should see a nice gain.



It uses about 3 x the power though..

 

[xraycat87]

Ill load it up now quickly with the settings to show FPS.

Any idea why my default clock speed is 1114 and not 1140? on my msi gaming gtx 970?

mem says 1753 and boost 1253

Screenshots of the review ones say 1140 on gpuz, hmmm

It seems everyones MSI 970 is faster then mine lol

If it's boosting to 1253 I would not worry too much about the non boost clock tbh.

Edit - Yours looks right for gaming mode. Is there any utils with the card to select modes ? I would OC yourself though.
