GTX 970 Gaming 4G Golden

This graphics card equips a desktop with a GeForce GTX 970 GPU and 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus. It targets gamers and content creators who need solid 1080p or 1440p performance from a PCI Express 3.0 16X slot.

Sustained load behaviour

The core and memory run at 7010 MHz through a 6-pin plus 8-pin power configuration, delivering stable frame rates during extended sessions. The dual-slot cooler keeps temperatures in check so clocks remain consistent rather than throttling after a short burst.

Upgrade path

It replaces an older GTX 970 or similar 4 GB card when the original cooler has worn out or a quieter, factory-overclocked board is preferred. The jump is worthwhile if the current GPU struggles to hold 60 fps at 4096×2160 in the titles you play.

Questions about this item

How much power does the GTX 970 GAMING 4G Golden draw through its 6pin+8pin connectors under full load?

The graphics card requires both a 6-pin and an 8-pin PCIe power connector from the power supply.

Does the GTX 970 GAMING 4G Golden need a motherboard with a PCI Express 3.0 16X slot to operate?

Yes, the card uses a PCI Express 3.0 16X interface and needs that slot on the motherboard.

Will the GTX 970 GAMING 4G Golden work in an older system that only supports PCI Express 2.0?

The card is built for PCI Express 3.0 16X but will run at the lower speed if installed in a PCI Express 2.0 slot.
