Target build

This PNY GeForce GTX 970 card suits a PCI Express 3.0 x16 desktop that needs 4GB GDDR5 memory and 1664 CUDA cores for 1080p gaming or multi-monitor work. The 256-bit interface and 7.0 Gbps effective clock feed the GPU at 1050 MHz base and 1178 MHz boost. DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.4 support cover current Windows titles.

Power requirement

Two 6-pin PCI Express connectors and a 500W or greater system power supply are mandatory for stable operation. The board draws supplementary power through both connectors, so the PSU must provide them without adapters. A PCI Express-compliant motherboard with one dual-width x16 slot and 300MB free disk space complete the hardware prerequisites.

Display connectivity

One HDMI, two Mini DisplayPort 1.2 and one DVI-I port drive up to four monitors at 3840 x 2160 or 4096 x 2160 resolution. The bundle includes NVIDIA Super Resolution, GameWorks, GameStream, G-Sync-Ready, SHIELD-Ready, GPU Boost 2.0 and Adaptive Vertical Sync features that enhance scaling, streaming and variable-refresh gameplay on supported displays.

Questions about this item

What does the 1178 MHz boost clock mean when the card is inside my PC?

The GPU can raise its core speed to 1178 MHz under load when power and temperature headroom allow, giving higher frame rates in demanding scenes.

What does the PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface limit in practice?

The slot provides up to 3.0 signalling rates across 16 lanes, so the card will not be bottlenecked by the bus in typical gaming workloads.

What does the card need to fit and mount in my case?

It requires a dual-width x16 graphics slot, two 6-pin PCIe power connectors and a power supply of at least 500W.
