The GeForce GTX 970 is a GPU from NVIDIA released in 2014.
This chip has an average gaming score at 22% in our GPU benchmark.
The GeForce GTX 970 has 4 GiB of GDDR5 memory, with a total memory bandwidth of 219 GB/s. The memory bus has a width of 256 bits. If you plan on gaming at higher resolutions with higher quality textures, more memory is important. Without enough memory, performance will be degraded.
In terms of clock speed, the GeForce GTX 970 GPU core runs at a frequency of 1050 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 1178 MHz. The clock runs at a speed called the clock speed. It dictates the number of updates per second that the GPU can process. Overclocking a chip, which means increasing the clock speed will improve the performance. However, thermals and power efficiency may be diminished.
As for rendering API support, the GeForce GTX 970 supports up to DirectX 12. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.5 features are supported. Newer APIs are usually more efficient, allowing for better performance in games and better graphical effects.
This chip has a Thermal Design Power of 145W: the total amount of waste heat generated. A card that runs hotter will need better cooling and will draw more power from the wall.
