NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 4GB Gaming Card

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 is a high-performance graphics card built for serious gaming at 1080p and 1440p resolutions. It runs on the Maxwell architecture with 1664 CUDA cores, a 1.05 GHz core clock and a 1.18 GHz boost clock. The 4GB GDDR5 frame buffer uses a 256-bit memory interface clocked at 7000 MHz. This PCI Express 3.0 x16 card targets enthusiasts who want strong DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.4 support.

Dual-Slot Design With HDMI DisplayPort DVI

The card occupies two expansion slots and measures 10.5 inches in length with a height of 4.4 inches, so it fits most mid-tower and larger cases. A single fan cooler exhausts heat toward the rear bracket. Video outputs include HDMI, DisplayPort and dual-link DVI, allowing up to four monitors to be driven simultaneously. The plug-in form factor requires a free x16 slot and adequate airflow around the shroud.

Check Power Connectors Case Length And PSU Wattage

Verify that your power supply has the required 6-pin and 8-pin PCIe connectors and enough wattage for the full system load. Measure the available graphics-card clearance in your chassis to confirm the 10.5-inch length will fit without blocking drive cages or cables. Ensure the motherboard provides a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and that the rear bracket has two adjacent openings for the dual-slot bracket.
