EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB SC+ Gaming

The EVGA GeForce GTX 970 is a PCI Express 3.0 graphics card built on the NVIDIA Maxwell architecture. It targets gamers who want strong 1080p performance and the ability to drive up to four displays simultaneously. The ACX 2.0 cooler uses swept fan blades and double ball bearings to move more air with less power.

4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 Memory Configuration

The card carries 4GB of GDDR5 memory across a 256-bit interface running at an effective 7010 MHz. This capacity handles modern 1080p titles with high texture settings and provides enough frame buffer for many 1440p scenarios. Heavily modded games or 4K textures can exceed the available video memory and force the system to use slower system RAM.

1664 CUDA Cores at 1165 MHz Base Clock

The GPU features 1664 CUDA cores operating at a base clock of 1165 MHz with a boost clock of 1317 MHz. This core count and clock speed combination determines the raw compute throughput for shading, physics and compute tasks. It is the primary specification that decides whether the card meets the performance requirements of a specific workload or game engine.

Questions about this item

Will the PCI Express 3.0 interface work in my older motherboard that only has PCI Express 2.0 slots?

Yes, the card uses a PCI Express 3.0 x16 connection which is backward compatible with PCI Express 2.0 motherboards, though bandwidth will be limited to the 2.0 specification.

How can I verify the core and boost clocks are running at the rated 1165 MHz and 1317 MHz after installation?

Use GPU monitoring software such as EVGA Precision X or GPU-Z to observe the real-time core clock; it should show 1165 MHz at base and rise to 1317 MHz under load when thermals allow.

Which cables come in the box and do I need to buy a separate power adapter for the 6-pin and 8-pin connectors?

The retail package includes the graphics card, a driver disc, a quick-install guide and a dual molex-to-PCIe power adapter; you do not need to purchase an additional adapter if your PSU has spare molex plugs.
