EVGA GeForce GTX 970 SSC ACX 2.0, 4096 MB GDDR5

The GM204 chip of the offered here EVGA GeForce GTX 970 SSC ACX 2.0 clocked into the basic level with increased factory 1.190 MHz and boosts up to 1,342 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 the EVGA GeForce GTX 970 SSC ACX 2.0 and the 4096 MB lush GDDR5 graphics memory is next to the Maxwell GPU GM204 with its revised SMX units and 1,664 CUDA cores responsible operating at 3,505 (effective 7010) MHz and about 256 bits is attached. The power of the GeForce GTX 970 EVGA takes place in this model over an 8-pin and one 6-pin PCI Express connector of the power supply, which can raise at least 500 watts of power should.

This NVIDIA GPU Boost 2.0 can fully grasp, it is important that the electronics of the map as cool as possible, so EVGA relies on its own cooler design called Active Cooling Xtreme in the second generation. The ACX 2.0 layout offers two revised axial fan with optimized Swept fan blades, double ball bearing and low-power motors. Thanks to the dual fan design and construction should open in all directions the waste heat can be submitted even better, so that the cooler is very quiet.

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, its 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 NVIDIAs 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 EVGA should be downloaded and installed at regular intervals.
