Bad Quality Build

Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2014

Style: GTX 970 G1 Gaming 4GBVerified Purchase

I received a bad one. I installed the card, downloaded and installed the latest drivers and it worked fine in Windows showing only 2D for a few minutes. I then started a benchmark utility, Valley Benchmark, and instantly there were artifacts all over the screen. Then the card died and Windows gave me the error message that the video driver had crashed, etc... So, I aborted the benchmark. However, now that I was back in Windows the artifacts were still there even in 2D.

I rebooted the computer and while still in the DOS boot screen, there were artifacts. After rebooting the card was not working properly in Windows again. The diver would not start or load at all. I turned the computer off, pulled the card and reinstalled it again. I removed the drivers and reinstalled them again. Nothing helped, the card is not working, artifacts all over the place in Windows and the card can't load the drivers to do any 3D.

So, I pulled the card and printed a return label. I'm dropping it off to UPS tomorrow for a replacement. I'll try it one more time. If the replacement I get has any problems at all I'm done with Gigabyte for good.

I'll update as I get new information.

Update - 11/19/14:
Amazon return policy has been GREAT. I printed a pre-paid return label and dropped the box off at UPS on Monday. Later that day I got an email from Amazon that they had received info from UPS that my package was scanned in. The very next day, Tuesday, Amazon sent me an email that they had received proof that my box had been delivered. The day after that, Wednesday, Amazon sent me an email that my new replacement video card was ordered and will be delivered on Monday. So, within 1 week the whole return process will be completed. That's GREAT customer service I think! I'll update the review when I actually receive the replacement video card.

Update - 12/1/14:
I received the replacement video card in 1 week, so BIG thumbs up to Amazon for that. The replacement card was very obviously used as all the protective caps were removed from the card and laying loose in the bottom of the box. Also, the cooler fan blades were very dusty, soooooo VERY BAD on Amazon for that. I almost sent it back without even trying it. However, I went ahead and installed it and it works GREAT. So, all in all I'm happy.

absolutely a winner

Style: GTX 970 G1 Gaming 4GBVerified Purchase

i got this card for building my new rig in february. it was intended to be a system to run witcher 3, and does that quite handily. we'll get to that.

i wont get in to detailing the rest of the rig unless needed for comparison, but if you're serious about this card im sure you're proficient enough to look in to compatibility. i have not done anything physical to affect its performance like watercooling it, but my case does have sufficient air flow and the cpu is watercooled so its not dumping its heat inside the case. be aware there ARE available watercooling blocks for this card, they run around $130 last time i checked.
physically the card is massive. its a custom pcb, with a custom cooler on it as you can see in the product images. i dont know if its the longest 970, but im sure it's up there. many cases, including my phantom 530, will require the removal or rearrangement of drive cages to make room for it. it was just a few millimeters too long, but you really cant just wedge it in there. it has a very nice shroud with very quiet fans. on top of this, the card actually has a backplate. i often see this talked about on cards a protection against drooping under its own weight. im unsure if this actually helps, but it does look good. on top of the card, so likely facing out if you have a windowed side panel and a standard layout, is the "windforce" logo that DOES glow. you can change this in the geforce experience app that comes with the drivers and all that. you can disable it, change its brightness, or set the brightness to breathe or flash, reflect gpu usage, or pulse with sound the system is playing.
now performance. at stock its benchmarking at the 93rd percentile in firestrike. thats pretty good. this is a 1080p card. 4k is going to become an issue due to the lower 3.5gigs of vram. however, i have had no problem running things on this card. 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. i have even seen videos showing the stutter that is caused when the vram caps. however, in my 30 or more hours i've played it, i have NEVER had that issue. im uncertain if the game has ever dropped below 50 fps in gameplay. thats with everything on the highest settings, and hd textures on.
the most demanding thing i've run so far is witcher 3 of course. with everything on ultra, all post processing turned on, and hairworks off, i average 50-60 fps. with hair physics completely on, i average 45-55fps, and dip in to the 30s when really zoomed to my characters hair, or surrounded by the wolves that have all their fur rendered by it. the hairworks is very demanding. the game however still needs some optimization. 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. but even then, console runs at 30fps, so you've got it beat no matter what.
temperature wise it idles in my case about 2 degrees C above ambient, and sits in the 40s to 50s in most games, but with witcher it likes to sit around 60. it is under much more load after all. this windforce card runs extremely cool. it does have a giant heat sync with 3 nice fans on it. when i was researching for my build, it seemed to be the best on the 970s in cooling.
in comparison to other 970's, again i found it to show the best clocks in tests, but lets be honest, with all of them being withing a few mhz of eachother, its negligible.
overclocking has been a learning experience for me. not that its difficult, i just have never done it before so im learning as i go. i've gotten it to 1550 boost clock, but crashed the driver after a day or two. 1500 seems a lot more stable to me, but i still need to learn a lot to tweak properly, and most people reach around 1500. the point being this card overclocks very well if that matters for you.
i intend to pick up another one of these soon for sli. comparing two 970s, a 980ti, and a titan x in performance has all 3 setups within just a few fps of eachother. since i already have a 970, the second one is my cheaper option. jaystwocents on youtube has a good video comparing the three setups. he also has a specific review for this card, and another video on the 3.5gigs of vram issue, which is where i saw shadow of mordor stuttering, but again that was something with him, as i have not had any such issue.
if this is the range of your budged for a build, or an upgrade, you will not be disappointed by this card. if you have more, ofcourse go with the best card you can afford, but in the 350 dollar range, this card is spectacular.

3.5gb VRAM (not 4gb) but highly recommend.

Reviewed in Canada on July 8, 2016

Style: GTX 970 G1 Gaming 4GBVerified Purchase

Did plenty of research of the GTX 970 and found out that there 3.5 gb of VRAM and 500mb of VRAM, it max out at 3.5gb VRAm and slows down when it uses the remaining 500mb vRAM. That did not bother me. If this bothers you save up more money and get the GTX 980 or 1080. This card is a beast!!! It's measure almost 30cm long. Comes with an amazing back plate and has cool LED lights. I use MSI afterburner to overclock the card. Great for 1080p gaming. The cuda cores is great for video rendering, it renders a 1hr 1080p video in 20 minutes and 4K video minute to minute (1:1 ratio). It's really a 3.5 gb VRAm card and should be marketed that way but I still recommend this card.

Limiting my Overclock.

Reviewed in Canada on August 6, 2015

Style: GTX 970 G1 Gaming 4GBVerified Purchase

Great looking card, not too loud, no coil whine. It was overclocking like a champ until I hit 1500MHz. It stopped me from going any higher than 1503MHz for some unknown reason. Other than that the card arrived in good shape and with no issues besides that limiter. I could live with it but for over 500 dollars I shouldn't have to "live with" much. Hopefully I find a fix because this is a pretty stupid issue, limiting my overclock on a card that is designed to overclock.

La compré en Amazon principalmente por la opción de meses sin intereses, lo demás estuvo como de costumbre bastante bien el envío y el tiempo de entrega. La instalación fue muy sencilla y rápida en poco tiempo ya estaba jalando al 100, tengo call of duty, el nuevo doom, farcry primal, the rise of the tomb raider en la configuración máxima y no se alenta la máquina. Ojo está montada en una PC con 16GB en RAM y con un procesador Intel i7 extreme, en conjunto soportan bien las configuraciones más extremas, ahora a dejar que de todo lo que debe dar para cambiar por las nuevas 1080

Batsante potente sin pagar de más

Reviewed in Mexico on January 14, 2019

Style: GTX 970 G1 Gaming 4GBVerified Purchase

Lleva funcionando un par de años y hasta ahora (finales 2018) me ha permitido correr casi todos mis juegos en high o ultra a 60 o 45 fps mínimo. La función de OC es muy buena y el soporte de drivers de Nvidia es el mejor.
Todavía es mejor que una 1060, aunque esto puede cambiar con la serie 2k

Grandiosa tarjeta de video

Reviewed in Mexico on April 4, 2016

Style: GTX 970 G1 Gaming 4GBVerified Purchase

La compré para sustituir mi Nvidia 960 4GB. Es notable la mejora que se da comparando ambas tarjetas. Consideren mucho que esta tarjeta es muy larga.

Funciona a la perfección, casi no hace ruido y jugando Batman Origins con las opciones al máximo no pasa de 38°C y ventiladores al 45%
