MSI GeForce GTX 970 OC, 4GD5T OC, 4096 MB GDDR5 [V316-009R]

The GM204 chip of the offered here MSI GeForce GTX 970 OC N970 4GD5T clocked into the basic level with increased factory 1.102 MHz and boosts up to 1,241 MHz when needed and unfolds it - despite significantly lower power consumption than previous VGA generations - an impressive gaming -Performance! This conjures via DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 2.0 and DVI even 4K (surround) resolutions smoothly and with high details on (several) Ultra-HD displays.

G-Sync-compatible monitors can be 970 even served by the NVIDIA GeForce GTX way up to 4K resolution, so now the Ultra-HD gaming to the special combination of NVIDIA graphics card and display ensures that unsightly tearing effects of past. NVIDIA provides a new "super-resolution" feature 4K images are now displayed in detail on Full HD monitors and "Game Stream" technology ensures that PC games can be streamed to a NVIDIA SHIELD device.

For the strong performance of MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GD5T OC also the 4,096 MB lush GDDR5 graphics memory is responsible not only for the Maxwell GPU GM204 with its revised SMX units and 1,664 CUDA cores operating at 3500 (effective 7000) MHz and 256 bit is attached. The power of the GeForce GTX 970 takes place in this MSI model has two 6-pin PCI Express connector of the power supply, which should be able to apply at least 500 watts of power.

This NVIDIA GPU Boost 2.0 can fully grasp, it is important that the electronics of the map as cool as possible, so MSI relies on its own cooler design called "Armor 2X Thermal" with a large cooling block of aluminum fins and two large axial fans that ensure you always have enough fresh air is available to cool the GPU, voltage transformer, RAM and co.

In addition to their high gaming capability with low power consumption, the GeForce GTX 970 excited by many other advanced features, such as Adaptive Vertical Sync, the image enhancement modes FXAA and TXAA, support for PCI Express 3.0 and DirectX 12, NVENC, VXGI or NVIDIA Shadow Play. Of course, old acquaintances such as not missing the opportunity to GPU PhysX, 3D Vision and surround.

With the latest NVIDIA drivers, it's still "experience with GeForce GEFORCE EXPERIENCE"! The ingenious tool is integrated directly into the graphics driver, enabling both Potty Driver Updates also perfect settings for each computer on every game! Given the huge database is queried in NVIDIA's cloud data center in various configurations, so that can be a mouse click make the optimal settings.

In order to realize the full potential of the card in the future, new drivers from NVIDIA or MSI should be downloaded and installed at regular intervals.
