Asus GeForce STRIX-GTX970-DC2OC-4GD5 256 Bit Graphics Card, 4 GB GDDR5

Product Information

In fact, one of the main reasons I upgraded was because the noise of my old cards fans spinning up during heavy load was irritating the life out of me. Next up are two new techniques designed to make demanding and non-demanding games alike look better. I've looked around my usual sources (well, AliExpress, really) but haven't found anything suitable, nor the right connectors to rig my own solution. uhm, metal frame thingy on the edge of the package, which would mean a significant risk of cracking the die). This is a relatively narrow range which indicates that the Nvidia GTX 970 performs reasonably consistently under varying real world conditions.

And Strix ups the ante still further with 0dB fan technology that lets you enjoy games like League of Legends® and StarCraft® in complete silence — because the fan stops completely when the GPU temperature remains below a set level. Works really well for high end games like GTA V, Tomb Raider personally never ever see an FPS drop at all.The design also includes 220%-larger heat-dissipation: this means performance that's 30% and three-times (3X) quieter than reference for ultra-stable hardcore gaming with very low noise. The new NVIDIA GTX 9XX series brings a new level of performance for 3D gaming, but also for power efficiency.

With its Fury X and Nano cards, AMD currently rules the roost when it comes to cost-is-no-object compact-card gaming performance. I built my sons PC at Christmas and after seven months decided that it was time for a graphical upgrade.Both the AMD R9 Nano and the GTX 970 DirectCU Mini require a single eight-pin power connector, and Asus says you'll need at least a 500-watt power supply to run the GTX 970 DirectCU Mini.
