Not sure what I'm doing wrong with the DSR option on Nvidia control panel, I have it set for 1440 and 4k, I tried both resolutions on Assassins Creed 4, and as expected it cried at 4k. Then onto Euro truck sim 2 and the fps is above 100 at 4k. Must be something to do with in game scaling i'm sure. Very confused.com

Some games are just much more demanding then others. DSR will most likely work best with games that run with ease with the highest settings at 1080p. Also try to remember to turn off MSAA when trying 4k if you haven't already, as it's not as necessary and will hurt performance.

Aww man! Delivery not until Monday, even though it made it to Feltham (just down the road) last night
That means I'm going to have to ask CS to change my delivery address to work, no one will be here on Monday.
well i made the change from a r290 vapor - x to the 970 msi gtx i have to say for me the difference is night and day. I never felt like i owned a premium card with the r290 althougth bench scores were good in game performance was rubbish and most the time it would struggle be it 1080P or 1440P.
My new msi gtx flys all games running smooth the thing i find funny is that bf4 runs better on my nvidea then it did amd. I know watchdogs is considered broken but it runs smooth my gtx same with dead rising 3 both of these games i couldent even look at on my amd card the fps dips were that bad.
Best decision i ever made getting rid of the r290
cpu clock 4.5 @ 1.325
Overclock MSI Afterburner:
core voltage +60
power limit 110
core clock +185
Memory Clock +500
Card Temp under load 65c
Will be pushing this card further later , such a good clocker

No sure why your 290 was struggling especially at 1080p. Seems something else might have been the cause like dodgy driver or faulty card. BF4 is perfectly smooth on the 290 for me at 1440p ?
Might be worth a post in the Heaven thread with your score.

Thanks , im not sure why it struggled also psu had ample power in amps for card but i had 2 r290s and they were both the same the first was the referance card and the second the vapor x version. First had faulty memory went bad within 6 months the second black screend quite often.

as with anyone its your own pref.
some people will find 30 fps min fine some will find 60 fps fine.
crysis 3 can demolish under 60 mins even on two cards so nothing is rather overkill even at 1080.
Seems strange not seen any issues with my Tri-x ? Might have just been unlucky twice.
I find the frame rate jumping around more annoying than a constant tbh.
I have a 970 gaming and it is a fantastic card and if buying new now an easy recommendation. Not sure I would switch from a 290 but if you have had issues like the chap above it makes sense.
I like the fans turning off when under 60.c and with my EVGA PSU doing the same the PC is eerily quite at idle. It's a nice feature.
I got my MSI card today, only had it in a few hours and this is what I have so far:
ASIC: 81.6%
Heaven 4 run:
GPU Core: 1600Mhz
Mem Clock: Stock (1752Mhz)
Power Limit: +110
Volts: Stock (1.2180)
Fan @ 75%
Max Temp: 57C
This is with no artifacts and smooth like butter.
I am off out for the weekend so I will put the clocks higher tomorrow night.
Is 1600mhz on GPU Core with no voltage increase common on these?

That's a brilliant core speed for stock volts, looks like you've got a really good chip and that ASIC % actually means something.

IMO ASIC is everything. Ive owned a lot of GPU's and high ASIC have always been good and low have been not so.
Around same clocks as mine 1598 gpu clock and 2000 memory , did a asic check after seeing yours and mine comes in at 82%
, cracking card cant wait to sli 
Under load the fans are running about 37% this is inaudible on my system, this maintains about 68c temps.
If I manually put the fans up they are audible above my systems very quiet noctua's at about 60%.
Same experience here, 780 was 67% and would barely overclock.
Are you on water with that core clock or not?
I decided to take the plunge to swap from two 670s to a 970 knowing I can use my dcuii water block on them. I'd rather upgrade/side grade to a single GPU with better power and get shut of my 670s before they lose even more value. Hopefully the games I play that have crappy sli profiles will benefit from the single GPU.

Damn, 1629 core..
increased core to 1629
Don't think i can do much more than this on mine
