GTX 970 4GB GDDR5 graphics card

The MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GD5T OC is a PCI Express 3.0 x16 video card built around the NVIDIA GTX 970 chipset. It carries 4GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256bit interface with a memory clock of 7010MHz. The board draws power through two 6pin connectors and can drive a maximum resolution of 4096x2160.

Suitable for legacy 1080p builds; not for modern

This card suits enthusiasts maintaining or repairing older systems that require a GTX 970 class GPU. Buyers targeting current games, ray traced workloads, or higher VRAM capacities should look at something else. The unit ships without original packaging or accessories and shows normal signs of prior use.

4GB GDDR5 on a 256bit bus decides fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the 4GB GDDR5 frame buffer connected via a 256bit memory interface. That capacity and bus width define the texture and resolution ceiling for the GTX 970 architecture. Verify your power supply has two 6pin leads before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Does the card fit a standard PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot?

Yes, the card uses a PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface and requires a single x16 slot on the motherboard.

How do I connect the two 6-pin power cables without causing instability?

Plug each 6-pin connector into separate cables from the power supply; using a single daisy-chained cable can limit current delivery.

When should the thermal paste be refreshed on this used GTX 970?

Refresh the paste if temperatures rise above normal after extended load, typically after several years of operation.
