EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB 04G-P4-2976-KR graphics card

EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB Maxwell GPU

The EVGA GeForce GTX 970 is a desktop graphics card built on the NVIDIA Maxwell architecture. It provides 1664 CUDA cores with a base clock of 1050 MHz and a boost clock of 1178 MHz. The card uses a PCI Express 3.0 interface and includes EVGA ACX 2.0 cooling. It targets gamers and builders seeking a capable 4GB GPU for 1080p and entry-level 4K.

Suited for 1080p gaming and multi-GPU SLI

This card suits users who want solid 1080p performance with support for NVIDIA SLI multi-GPU scaling. DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.4 compliance cover modern API needs. Outputs include HDMI, DisplayPort and dual DVI for mixed monitor setups. Buyers needing more VRAM for heavy 4K textures or newer ray-tracing titles should consider a different model.

4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 memory decides fit

The 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 frame buffer running at 7010 MHz effective clock is the key specification. It determines whether the card can hold the assets required by a given game or workload at the target resolution. If the working set exceeds this capacity, performance will drop regardless of the 1664 CUDA cores or 1178 MHz boost clock.
