    92 customers mention83 positive9 negative

    Customers are satisfied with the heat dissipation of the video card. They mention that it runs cool, has sturdy construction, and the cooling solution is the best air cooling they've found on a GTX 970. The triple fans keep the card cool and quiet. The cards never get hotter than 75C and the Gigabyte coolers are doing an admirable job.

It also speeds up large post-processing jobs with Lightroom or DxO by a factor of around 10X.

    "Fantastic card, runs everything I throw at it and has never dipped under 70 FPS no matter what the settings...." Read more

    "...All of them work great with almost no big dropped frame rate...." Read more

    "...While it doesn't have a 0% fan speed like the MSI and Asus variant, that shouldn't be much of an issue if you're seated some distance away as I am...." Read more

    "...most everything runs at a steady 60 fps, or very close. one complaint i've seen is shadow of mordor's hd textures causing an issue...." Read more

They mention that it runs every high end game at 1080p at 60+ fps, handles most of their games in full settings, and can max out any game and still receive great FPS. Some say that the graphics card is still able to run games smoothly.

    "...to be clear though, it is 100% playable at almost all times. the only time it dips is with hairworks on and it being used a lot on screen...." Read more

    Customers are mixed about the coil whine of the video card. Some mention that it keeps itself very cool and quiet, while others say that they have experienced coil whining under load. Some customers also mention that the WINDFORCE cooler is a lot quieter than expected. However, some customers also say that the card makes some old ethernet connection noises when starting a heavy game.

    "...games at max settings (not 4k yet, but ENB enabled) it was pretty dang quiet and made my old Twin Frozr III look absolutely silly in quality..." Read more

    "...it has a very nice shroud with very quiet fans. on top of this, the card actually has a backplate...." Read more

    "...Coil whine - Goes away. It had a slight whine at first, but after i broke it in with many, many intensive gaming sessions it has gone away..." Read more

    "...Even putting my head next to it with the case side panel off I don't hear any coil whine so I think I may be clear of that issue...." Read more

    55 customers mention7 positive48 negative

    Customers are dissatisfied with the fit of the video card. They mention that it is very long, and is too big for some cases. Some say that the card barely fits in their system and that it has a smallest sag after properly screwed in.

    "...It is a very, very long card too so you better have a larger case...." Read more

    "...-Maybe too big for some cases (fits great on my Sniper case)-People say it might come with Whine Coil, mine didnt...." Read more

    The 970 is still an impressive card!
    5 Stars
    The 970 is still an impressive card!
    It's hard to believe it has been over a year since Gigabyte introduced the GTX 970 to the market. Since then many newer, more powerful cards have been introduced. Many recent reviews highlight the more common positives and negatives, such as the cool temperatures or the audible coil whine. I won’t be talking about these in my review. Through this review I will be answering the following questions to give a more unique and up-to-date perspective on this card:1. Is the GTX 970 still worth the ~$330 price tag?2. How does it perform at the 1080p/1440p level? Is 4k a possibility?3. Should I forget this card and buy the next best card?Let's start with the price. The GTX 970 is in that special range that not many other cards can rival. I purchased this card with the intent of being able to max out ANY game I threw at it on my 1080p 60hz monitor, and it delivered well beyond that. At ~$330 USD, you get a card that will guarantee playability at any game at 1080p, including more demanding titles such as Crysis 3, The Witcher 3, Bioshock Infinite, GTAV, etc.As I stated before, the 970 guarantees playability at the 1080p level. What do I mean by this? I ran multiple benchmark tests through 3D Mark and Valley. As you can see from my attached images, this card is quite impressive at 1080p. Sky Diver never dropped below 50fps (~52fps on the most demanding physics test), and averaged a whopping 94.47fps throughout). But what about 1440p?At 1440p this card struggled to reach playability on the more demanding titles. 3D Mark's Fire Strike Extreme brought the 970 to its knees, with a combined fps of just 11.55. I’ve attached the results below. Realistically, 1440p gaming will be limited to less demanding titles unless running two 970’s in SLI. This brought me to my next question, can a single GTX 970 run 4k? Absolutely not. This is no surprise, though. What makes this card great is its price to performance ratio. The 970 can be easily overclocked to beat its big brother, the 980. In addition, it is STILL more feasible to purchase two 970s rather than a single 980. A couple months ago I picked up a second 970 and a 4k monitor in order to attempt 4k gaming. Let’s see what happened.Fire Strike Ultra is the highest available test in 3D mark, and it pushed the two 970s I have to their limits. With a combined score of 11.56fps, this is considered unplayable. However, this is with every setting maxed and is overall an extreme case. Personally, I have been able to play the following titles at 4k with settings greater than or equal to high with 40fps and higher: - Fallout 4 - GTAV - Arma 3 - Dying Light - Far Cry 4 - Rust - The Witcher 3 - Bioshock InfiniteThese games were all easily playable in SLI, and the cards never got hotter than 75C (fan cooled).This brings me to my last question; should you buy this card? or should you wait for the anticipated Pascal GPU Nvidia will be releasing this year? Well, it all depends on how much you are willing to spend, and the time you are willing to wait. The GTX 970 is an impressive card that will certainly get the job done at 1080p. In my opinion, it is STILL worth it to purchase a second 970 in order to make the jump to either 1440p and even 4k.In short, BUY this card now to handle anything at 1080p and you will not be disappointed. If you plan on adding an additional 970 in SLI you will be happy at the ability to make the jump to higher resolutions. On the other hand, wait to see what Pascal’s release brings if you have the patience and cash.
