GTX 680 and GTX 770 is basically the same with a bit of improvement right.
if i overclocked GTX 680, can it matches GTX 770 performance?
*
That is right. GTX 770 is essentially a GTX 680 with higher core and memory clocks.

I ran unigine heaven with my zotac 970 omega and max temp reaches 79c on default factory oc. Isn't that a little high? Kinda regret my purchase :/ . I heard Asus MSI and gigabyte stays well below 70c.

Actually, your temperature is pretty fine. Nothing to worry of. As Najmods mentioned above, it is the default temperature target where the GPU will boost as high as allowable within that defined temperature target. And Zotac cards somehow tend to hover a little on the 80C range, myself having personally tested the older 760 AMP and 780 AMP. Asus, MSI and Gigabyte tends to excel more in this area as their cooling solution used is usually superior than the one found on Zotac. But then again, this is just a minor setback and I personally find nothing wrong with it at all.

32GB RAM user here, no stuttering issues on my end except if it's game related (as in poorly optimized). To be honest, for a release driver (344.16), Nvidia has done a rather good job with it. In comparison to Fermi and Kepler release drivers, there were a lot of problems like high input lag, high DPC latency, audio sync issues through HDMI out, etc.

344.16 has been relatively, quite trouble free. I would still like for input lag to go back to 275.33 level though. The difference isn't so huge anymore fortunately, but it's somewhat noticeable eventhough by now I've gotten used to the high input lag since 314.xx drivers.

May I know which brand of GTX 970 you're using? smile.gif

Does it have that issue that was earlier brought up a few threads ago? I think it was sticker issue right?

I've the Asus GTX970 , wondering if anyone else got the CD drivers working ? it installs but Windows dosen't detect the card. Freshly built PC with Windows 7 and had to download drivers from nVidia site instead.

So far so good, Max Payne 3 on High and fans started spinning only after half an hour  thumbup.gif
*
Why bother with the older driver versions that come with the CD? Download the latest ones from Nvidia website and game away. tongue.gif

Yup, love the 0dB feature. My observation so far is that the fans will only start to spin once it reaches 65C.

This new offer by Nividia and Ubisoft is SHIT. it is only for NEW purchases at SELECTED RETAILERS in SELECTED COUNTRIES.

http://redeem.nvidia.com/ doesn't even recognize Malaysia's existence. ***!

AMD's Never Settle Bundle was much better. FML. If this offer by Nvidia+Ubishit never came out, I would have never had second thoughts about buying a GTX970 over a 280x.
*
I remembered the earlier Nvidia game bundles also initially did not include Malaysia as part of those eligible for the bundle. Just be patient and local retailers will soon came up with similar game bundle.

I would pick GTX 970 any day for its raw performance lead over R9 280X, with or without any game bundle.

indeed , it ko gtx780 .. some review on youtube also proved .. even on performance and value .
*
Actually, not really, no. I have both and actually there is very little difference in the performance between a 780 and 970. My factory overclocked Zotac GTX 780 AMP! is actually faster in some benchmarks when compared to my Asus GTX 970 Strix.

GTX 970 is meant as a replacement for those still using GTX 680 / 770 class or older cards.

What's the best value GTX 970 in the market right now? I'm upgrading from a Gigabyte GTX 770, mainly playing BF4 (which struggles at 4K resolution).
*
Best value for money GTX 970 would be Gainward GTX 970 at RM1099, based on the reference box cooler typically found on its older GTX 760 brethren.

2. Is 80c acceptable? Do you guys normally game at around this temp?
*
Yes, perfectly acceptable since this is the default Nvidia temperature target. The GPU will determine the available thermal headroom upon which how high your GPU boost value would be. Cards with even better cooling would have slightly lower temps than the default 80C. Absolutely nothing to be concerned of.

Guys, i just sold my gigabyte gtx770 windforce to my brother for RM700, bought on march this year..now thinking to get a gtx970, which brand should i go for? Prices in penang for most brand is no way near rm1.1k cheap..all higher than rm1.2k liao..😤

If Penang island, you can consider these brands:

1. Leadtek GTX 970, bundle with Plextor M6S 128GB SSD - RM1399
2. Asus Strix GTX 970 - RM1499
3. Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming - RM1499 (no more Siberia V1 bundle)
4. MSI GTX 970 Gaming - RM1499
5. Zotac GTX 970 - RM1249

The first 4 models above are available from E-Tech, BJ Complex. Item 5 can be found from Gadget Zone (BJ / Queensbay). The listed prices are SRP, try asking for some discount. Don't quote me on the prices though, I just recall them from the top of my head. tongue.gif

i notice that it overclock itself, i didnt touch anything from the afterburner. how do i fix this?
*
The higher clock speed that you see in your GPU-Z is due to your graphic card's passive feature, GPU Boost. Typically, Kepler/Maxwell based cards will have this feature, where the GPU will try to boost to a higher clock speed within the pre-determined temperature target, which is 80C by default. I am not sure though, how come your usage remains at 90% even after you have long quitted the game.
