Questions about this item

What comes with the EVGA GeForce GTX 970 and what must I buy separately?

The card includes the GPU with a fan cooler, 4 GB GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus, HDMI, DVI and DisplayPort outputs, and supports up to four monitors. You must supply a compatible motherboard slot, a power supply with the required connectors, and a case that fits the 10.5 inch length and dual-slot width.

Which clock speed matters more for gaming, the 1.05 GHz core or the 1.18 GHz boost?

The 1.18 GHz boost clock is the higher frequency the GPU reaches under load when thermal headroom allows, so it represents the typical gaming speed. The 1.05 GHz core clock is the guaranteed base frequency.

What does the 4 GB GDDR5 frame buffer mean once the card is installed in my PC?

It provides 4 GB of video memory connected via a 256-bit interface for storing textures and geometry at 1080p and 1440p resolutions, with the GDDR5 memory type delivering the bandwidth the GTX 970 architecture expects.
