MSI NVIDIA GTX 970 Gaming Twin Frozr HDMI DVI-I DP Graphics Card (4GB, PCI Express, DDR5, 256 Bit)

Product Information

Extreme edition goes even further than the MSI and Asus cards, replacing the reference cooler with a massive three-fan system. Great little card, was playing games like overwatch 2 and legend of legends on pretty high graphic settings. One heat pipe is S-shaped, while the remaining three are U-shaped, a design MSI refers to as SuperSU and claims helps to improve heat dissipation throughout the aluminium fins.

You can quickly size up your PC, identify hardware problems and explore the best value for money upgrades. So, either I sell off this 660Ti, give it to her, or hold onto it for a HTPC build at some point down the line. The Asus STRIX remains our favourite GTX 970 card, however, and AMD’s top-end cards are still better value.

Tom's Hardware is part of Future US Inc, an international media group and leading digital publisher. AIB profits will be hardest hit when the bubble pops, and they'll be the ones dealing with RMAs for years to come. As with the other GTX 970 cards, gaming at 2,560×1,440 is possible in the most demanding titles at sky-high detail levels, and 3,840×2,160 gaming is on the cards if you reduce detail levels slightly.

bigdragon said:This must be embarrassing for Nvidia that gamers are being forced to turn to 9-series cards now. Actually I mainly need to do the upgrade because the power bills are so ridiculous for the 8800 GTX! I am thinking of picking up a second one to SLI them so I can go full-bore Ultra, but I probably need to upgrade my processor more. MSI’s GTX 970 Gaming 4G has a slightly less aggressive overclock, running at 1,140MHz and boosting to 1,279MHz. the 960 isn't a great alternative but since only other one is Intel graphics in the 4690K, I think I would accept it while looking for an expensive replacement.Just tried it with nothing more than 150Mhz extra core clock, saw it boost to 1577, and stayed at 53c. NVIDIA has paired 4 GB GDDR5 memory with the GeForce GTX 970, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. Running Elite:Dangerous at locked-on 60fps at 5760x1080 high settings, and can even run some ultra settings at that resolution and maintain 30+fps.

Plus, Nvidia likely sells most of its GPUs through contracts with third party AIBs, meaning it doesn't even get a lot of the benefit.
