NVIDIA GTX 970 OWNERS THREAD
- Thread starter Ayahuasca
- Start date
Got 2 Galax 970s coming on Monday (should have had today but for an OCUK balls up)
970 SLI review: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_970_SLI/
Great performance at 1600p (I have 1440p) apart from in Crysis 3. Lack of SLI support in id tech 5 affecting Wolfenstein scores.

I dont see the ACX 2.0 versions for sale just the ACX1.0? They both look identical though.
Depends if you are running games power hungry. It's a good upgrade but only if you utilise it.
Think I saw them elsewhere, EVGA making a lot of noise about it but meh the cards are cool anyway so unlikely to be a big deal.

YOLO
My thoughts exactly. I'll wait until plenty of reviews have been done, decide which card and pull the trigger
Mine has arrived 
.
Boost clock goes up to 1316MHz and sits silent at 65°. As expected really, the MSI coolers have always been good, remember my GTX670 was excellent. Then again Asus Direct CUII was excellent too.
I'll run it for a while, maybe a night of gaming at stock speeds and see how it performs compared to 780. I did have my 780 running at 1174MHz so a bit of an overclock over stock 780.
I like how it clocks itself even lower at idle, 135MHz. 780 sat at around 330MHz if I remember. Although perhaps overclocking increases minimum idle clocks.
Streaming has improved. Although at first I forgot to set one of new NVENC presets in OBS and it looked exactly the same as 780. Setting High Quality Low Latency (2pass) and the quality of stream is quite a lot better. Far less pixelation on movement. Shame nothing uses the H.265 encoder. Hopefully something will soon.
If it does perform as well as my 780 or better, using less power, and with much better streaming quality and the other new features, I shall be happy.
Oh and there's a free mouse mat.
Some terrible phone camera pictures if you wish
