Does the GTX 970 run hot?

Reputable. 17seconds : Only problem with your 80c panic mode is that the GTX 970 has a temperature target of 80c. Turns out, 80c is exactly the temperature the card attempts to seek out as its normal operating temperature.

How many watts does the 970 use?

GeForce GTX 970 or 980 – On your average system the card requires you to have a 500 Watt power supply unit.

Is it worth overclocking GTX 970?

Overclocking the GTX 970 is about as simple as it gets. Whichever application you prefer, overclocking the GPU is as simple as punching in a desired clock frequency and hitting ok. Voltage increases may be minimally effective for improving card clocking, but we didn’t see much benefit from it.

Is the Nvidia GTX 970 a reference card?

NVIDIA’s reference GTX 970 is spec’d at 1,050MHz Core and 7,000MHz Memory. Because I don’t have the reference card, I have no way of knowing how GPU Boost will affect the clock, but I’d imagine it’d gain about 125MHz like the GTX 980 did. ASUS’ Strix card is already overclocked out-of-the-box, and it’s no minor one, either: +203MHz.

What’s the base clock of the MSI GTX 970?

This MSI GTX 970 has a base clock of 1101MHz (reference clock: 1050MHz) and a boost clock of 1240MHz (reference clock: 1178MHz). GPU speeds are overclocked compared to the reference card. The min power target is 66% TDP and the max is 106% TDP.

Is the GTX 970 AMP good for overclocking?

The Zotac GeForce GTX 970 Amp! Omega Edition is designed for high overclocking performance, with two eight-pin PCI Express connectors rather than the dual six-pin design that our Nvidia reference card uses. Can it deliver higher overall performance?

What’s the clock speed on the GTX 970 Zotac?

After testing, our Zotac GTX 970 stabilized at a core clock increase of +228MHz (1469MHz) with a +12mV voltage tap and a memory clock speed increase of 100MHz (1862MHz). That’s an increase of 18% core clock and 5% memory — we didn’t push the RAM particularly hard because increasing memory bandwidth proved to have a limited impact on most games.
