GTX 970 4GB for 1080p and 1440p gaming

The EVGA GeForce GTX 970 04G-P4-2976-KR is a graphics card built on the NVIDIA Maxwell architecture. It delivers 4GB GDDR5 memory across a 256-bit interface and 1664 CUDA cores. The card targets gamers who want solid frame rates at 1080p or 1440p with DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.4 support.

Upgrade from GTX 900 predecessors

Replacing an older Maxwell or Fermi card with this model adds higher boost clocks of 1178 MHz and 7010 MHz effective memory speed. The jump is worth it when you need SLI readiness, HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.2 and dual-link DVI for 4096 x 2160 output. PCI Express 3.0 bandwidth and NVIDIA GPU Boost 2.0 remove bottlenecks in modern titles.

Simple PCIe 3.0 installation

Install the card into a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and connect supplementary power. The ACX 2.0 cooler uses swept fan blades and double ball bearings for reliable airflow. Common issues include forgetting the power cables, using a weak PSU, or blocking the rear exhaust with tight case clearance. Driver installation follows standard NVIDIA procedures.
