As with our official Maxwell review, our tests will be run at maximum detail with high levels of AA at both 1080p and 4K. We’re at the beginning of a transition to 4K gaming, which makes larger frame buffers particularly important - and while you’ll still need two cards to run at high frame rates acceptably, being on the cusp of that transition makes every additional frame per second count. EG: If your boost clock is 1058MHz, setting a +100MHz offset will make your boost clock 1158MHz.
You overclock by setting an offset value, this value is + or every prequalified clockspeed. The GTX 970, with an MSRP of $330, is more than $200 cheaper than the GTX 980 (MSRP $550), but packs just as much RAM (4GB). Clock offsets are the new way to overclock for 600 series cards and later graphics cards. The coolers from ASUS and MSI are definitely doing a better job of. As an alternative, EVGAs latest Precision X1. As with memory, dial it back just slightly and leave a 10-25MHz safety margin. AMD’s later Durons were again excellent in this regard - a Duron 600 could often hit 1GHz - and, with a bit of pencil voltage modding, could run far above 100MHz FSB clocks without a hitch. Temperatures on the overclocked cards ranged from 61C to 75C with the EVGA SSC card the only one to get above the 70C mark. Test with a 10-minute benchmark cycle and record this overclock value. The first Celerons were famously good overclockers because they could equal or even best the Pentium II and Pentium III chips of the day. In order to be a serious hit with overclockers, hardware needs to offer an excellent price/performance ratio that doesn’t come with hidden gotchas. Why the GTX 970 is a great overclocking choice
