huh you got amd endorsed game instead of nvidia inbed with ubisoft game ? Contemplating whether to get another gtx 970 for sli but my case cant fit another g1 gaming gtx 970 . Is it true that even if I used different brand gtx 970 it will use the lower clock card to match the speed ?

Will that be a much issue in terms of performance ? Looking where pc gaming is heading it looks like single card wont just cut it even if you are gaming at 1080p with all eye candy on  . I'm a graphic whore and 60 fps addict 

Combining either zotac gtx 970 , msi gtx 970 or asus strix 970 with a gtx g1 gaming 970  will that be a problem ?

I'd like to get a 970 too, what with its 4GB memory(I play Skyrim and VRAM is crucial for mods).

Then again, my concern is bus speed. Only 256bit seems like it'll be a bottleneck. Can it truly use all 4GB of that VRAM? What about the rumored 8GB versions of 970/980? I imagine that much VRAM means those cards are targeted at people who do SLI. Would it mean anything at all for single-GPU?

NVIDIA has also been focused on memory efficiency, both for performance and power reasons, resulting in the L2 cache size been greatly increased. NVIDIA has from 256KB in GK107 to 2MB on GM107, and from 512KB on GK104 to the same 2MB on GM204. This cache size increase reduces the amount of traffic that needs to cross the memory bus, reducing both the power spent on the memory bus and improving overall performance.

Whoa...

Based on your input, I guess I'm picking up a 970 after all.

Goddamnit, January just can't come soon enough.

hmmm..since u talk about cpu i oso go check online..currently using old i5-2400...some say wnt bottleneck some say depend on game.. im confuse 

Even my shitty i7 2600k doesnt seems to be using much usage when playing new games . I just don't see the point upgrading to newer cpu unless doing video editting , compression and any other cpu intensive apps

Purchased this from Newegg. Hopefully arriving before my birthday this 16th.



Acer XB280HK 28" 3840x2160 4K monitor with Nvidia G-Sync.

I have the ROG Swift 144Hz 2560x1440 G-Sync monitor, but trying to get the framerates up to 144fps requires serious quality setting downgrade to take full advantage of the ROG Swift, compared to keeping the settings maximum at 4K on 60Hz.

That one is the Asus ROG Swift, 27" 2560x1440 at 144Hz with G-Sync. This one is the Acer XB280HK, 28" 3840x2160 at 60Hz with G-Sync. Both are priced at USD799. So it depends on which one you prefer: 1440p at 144 frames per second or 4K at 60 frames per second. I find that my usage fits the 4k60 than 1440p144. Like I mentioned earlier, it's harder to push a game to 144fps to get the full benefit of the ROG Swift panel, WITHOUT having to drop quality settings. With 4k60, I can opt not to have any AA and still have it above 45fps. And from Linus's observation in that video I linked above, framerates around that figure gets smoothen out by G-Sync, eliminating both tearing and lag.

Where got RM1299? It's RM1399.

Already got 240GB SSD. Don't need another.

Too small for my time.

74C maxed out for the temperature on my Leadtek GTX970 Hurricane. Haven't tested higher OC yet.

Going to buy gainward gtx 970 reference.
Is there any forumers here using it?
what is the max temp of the card at full load?

use reclock?

347.09 driver is out! anyone tested?

Just went mental and bought another G1 GTX 970 card after failing to hunt for 4k monitor 



Now I got three GTX 970 XD . Looking to sell the Leadtek

Is there a way to make my refresh rate 60hz? I can only see 59.9hz in game for fullscreen.
