SUPERCHARGE YOUR GAMING EXPERIENCE WITH THE NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 970 VIDEO CARD. THE GEFORCE GTX 970 IS POWERED BY THE NEXT-GENERATION NVIDIA MAXWELL ARCHITECTURE, DELIVERING UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE AT INCREDIBLY LOWER POWER CONSUMPTION WHEN COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS GENERATION. 1664 CUDA CORES AND A 4GB GDDR5 MEMORY IN 256-BIT WIDTH WORK SIDE BY SIDE FOR GAME REDEFINING PERFORMANCE. YOU CAN PLAY TODAY'S HOTTEST TITLES AT MAX RESOLUTION ON TODAY'S HIGHEST-DEFINITION DISPLAYS, ALL AT ULTRA SETTINGS.PERFORMANCE IS JUST PART OF THE STORY. THE MAXWELL ARCHITECTURE IS ENGINEERED WITH THE NEW VXGI (VOXEL GLOBAL ILLUMINATION) TECHNOLOGY TO SOLVE SOME OF THE MOST COMPLEX LIGHTING AND GRAPHICS CHALLENGES IN VISUAL COMPUTING. SCENES ARE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE LIFELIKE AS LIGHT INTERACTS MORE REALISTICALLY IN THE GAME ENVIRONMENT. SUPER RESOLUTION TECHNOLOGY LETS YOU ENJOY THE DETAIL AND BRILLIANCE OF 4K GAMING EVEN ON 1080P DISPLAYS. THE G-SYNC TECHNOLOGY ENSURES SMOOTH, TEAR-FREE IMAGES BY SYNCHRONIZING DISPLAY FRAME RATE TO GPU (REQUIRES DISPLAYS THAT SUPPORT G-SYNC). AN ARRAY OF NVIDIA GTX TECHNOLOGIES ARE ALSO BUILT IN, LIKE GPU BOOST, NVIDIA 3D VISION, NVIDIA SURROUND, NVIDIA PHYSX, AND GEFORCE EXPERIENCE. THESE TECHNOLOGIES TOGETHER PROVIDE THE MOST IMMERSIVE AND COMPETITIVE GAMING EXPERIENCE POSSIBLE.THIS MODEL IS FACTORY OVERCLOCKED TO 1165 MHZ BASE CLOCK/1371 MHZ BOOST CLOCK (1050 MHZ/1178 MHZ FOR REFERENCE DESIGN) TO EXTRACT MORE GRAPHICS POWER TO PUSH THE PERFORMANCE ENVELOPE.ACX COOLINGTHE NEW DOUBLE BALL BEARING ACX COOLER FROM EVGA REDEFINES TRADITIONAL ENTHUSIAST COOLERS. STARTING WITH A 40% INCREASE IN HEATSINK VOLUME, THE EVGA ACX IS MORE EFFICIENT AT DISSIPATING HEAT, ALLOWING FOR 15% LOWER GPU TEMPERATURES. A REINFORCEMENT BASEPLATE MAINTAINS A STRAIGHT PCB, AND HELPS LOWER MOSFET TEMPERATURES BY 7% AND MEMORY TEMPERATURES BY 15%. EVGA ALSO SPENT TIME TO ENSURE THAT EVEN THE FAN BLADES WERE OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY, WITH A 700% INCREASE IN STRENGTH, AND 25% LOWER WEIGHT WHEN COMPARED TO TRADITIONAL DUAL FAN DESIGNS. THIS MAKES THE FANS 20% MORE EFFICIENT BY REQUIRING LOWER POWER LEVELS. OF COURSE, EVGA IS ALSO USING DOUBLE BALL BEARING FANS WHICH OFFER A 12-YEAR LIFESPAN! DO NOT SETTLE FOR THE LOW-QUALITY MATERIALS FOUND IN COMPETITORS' COOLING SOLUTIONS ON YOUR HIGH-END PRODUCT; EVGA OFFERS THE BEST!NVIDIA GPU BOOST 2.0 TECHNOLOGYDYNAMICALLY MAXIMIZES CLOCK SPEEDS BASED ON WORKLOAD AND ALLOWS ENTHUSIAST-CLASS CONTROLS SUCH AS TEMPERATURE TARGET AND FAN CONTROLS, EXTRA OVER-VOLTAGE HEADROOM, AND OPTIMIZATIONS FOR WATER-COOLING SOLUTIONS. THIS ALLOWS GREATER CUSTOMIZATION AND OVERCLOCKING OPTIONS AND ENABLES GAMERS TO PUSH PERFORMANCE TO NEW LEVELS.DYNAMIC SUPER RESOLUTION TECHNOLOGYENABLES THE DETAILS OF 4K MONITORS ON A 1080P DISPLAY. DSR PRODUCES SMOOTHER IMAGES BY RENDERING A GAME AT A HIGHER RESOLUTION, THEN DOWNSCALING IT TO THE NATIVE RESOLUTION OF THE DISPLAY USING ADVANCED FILTERING.GEFORCE EXPERIENCETHE EASIEST WAY TO OPTIMIZE YOUR GAMES AND KEEP YOUR DRIVERS UP TO DATE, THE GEFORCE EXPERIENCE APPLICATION AUTOMATICALLY NOTIFIES YOU OF NEW DRIVER RELEASES FROM NVIDIA. UPDATE THE DRIVER DIRECTLY WITH A SINGLE CLICK, WITHOUT LEAVING YOUR DESKTOP.
