When people talk about GTX1080 overwhelmingly, as a reeling silk I quietly dipped in my pockets ready to go, and others are different is my concern is GTX970, for a mass player like me GTX1080 is too extravagant, Although it is not a gamer, but occasionally still play some large stand-alone games, such as "Assassin's Creed" "GAT5" "Sorcerer 3" and so on, the network class is "League of Legends"; my request is not high, can drive The large-scale games with medium-to-high-grade effects are available on the market. Therefore, the GTX970 is my best choice. The other thing is that the old cards on the new card will inevitably greatly reduce the price, so now is the best time to go. Of course, you can also choose to wait. However, there is a sentence: buy early to enjoy early, haha;
When buying GTX970, my requirements are as follows: 1: The graphics card must be 4G video memory, because my monitor is 27 inches 2K resolution, and now the big game has to eat memory, so in the game to open 2K must consume memory; 2, 3 Fan cooling, now in summer, so the heat must be to force; 3, the appearance of domineering, the cocoon is an appearance control, the chassis are light pollution, side through the chassis, a domineering graphics card is very important, and occasionally loaded force It is necessary to scare and scare the little girl. Finally, we value the shadow of the GALAXY GTX970, and the appearance of the graphics card is in line with this code.
Appearance Gallery----------------------------------------
After the day and night finally arrived, the packaging is very strong. The strip foam pad is more protective than the pearl foam pad
GALAXY GTX970 is ashes, and the outer package uses the image of Battleship World. The left lower corner is still the OMG clan of the League of Legends. I’m still a big fan of them.
The back is the characteristics of the graphics card parameters, remember that the 08 graphics card configuration is GT8600 spirit version, for the brand quality is still more trust
The internal packaging is relatively thick, and the GTX970 is fully wrapped, without the slightest shaking
GALAXY GTX970 black and gray version of the general accessories, graphics card, manual, driver CD, D-head to 8PIN port 2, DIV to AGP interface and a "Battleship World" game gift card
I like the appearance of this video card. The atmosphere is very rich in metallic taste. Three 8cm fans can provide more coolness for the graphics card in summer.
Another highlight of the GALAXY GTX970 graphics card is the addition of a PCB-reinforced metal plate. The entire reinforcing plate is covered with cooling holes, so there is no need to worry about the heat being lost. This card is about 30cm long and can bear more weight for the graphics card to prevent deformation. Reinforced board is affixed with a warning sticker, which makes the whole card more forcing
At the top of the video card, the video card is placed in the chassis. This time is the most obvious place. The logo of GALAXY GALAX is on the top.
GALAXY GTX970 urn will provide three DP interfaces, one HDMI interface and one DVI interface. Each socket is equipped with dust plugs. From this point it can be seen that GALAXY has done its best in details.
Three black fans are embedded in the fairing, and the fairing edges are extended downwards, so that a good wind is sucked into them to maximize the heat dissipation performance of the graphics card.
The graphics card has a lot of hexagonal screws and metal mesh ornaments, although it has no practical use but can add a lot of tough atmosphere for the whole
The top logo of the video card close-up, this piece is a metal plate + drawing LOGO, fixed by four screws up, I think this piece can actually have more selling point of the entire LED
The GTX900 series model is printed on the reinforcement plate and is very eye-catching.
GALAXY GTX970 Black and Gray will use a 6+8 power supply interface.
Graphics card dismantling——————————————————————————————————————
Disassemble the graphics card worker is divided into 5 parts, respectively, the fan shroud, heat sink, video card, reinforcement metal plate, memory heat sink
The heat dissipation uses the heat pipe string aluminum fin design. The fins are also denser and provide good heat dissipation.
The shroud is affixed with a label showing 2016.3.28. It should be the production date of the graphics card. The bottom of the fan is equipped with a shock-absorbing sponge to avoid resonance caused by the fan.
Dense components, all solid capacitors
Adopts the second-generation Maxwell architecture GM204 graphics core, frequency 1190MHz and 1664 stream processors
Using Elpida eight memory particles to form 8G DDR5 memory, 7000 memory frequency and 256bit width
DVI shield cover
The power supply part adopts 6+2 phase digital power supply, MOSFET uses aluminum heat sink alone;
By dismantling it can be seen that this GTX 970 stack is still relatively luxurious without any shrinkage.
On the machine test.
Machine Performance Testing——————————————————————————————————————————
CPU: I7-4790k
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z97N-WIFI Edition Memory: Kingston 16G 2400MHz
Graphics card: GALAXY GTX970 black hard drive: GALAXY GAMER512G SSD +2T detail mechanical hard disk power: ANTEC EDGE550W full-mode power supply chassis: Qiao Sibo RM3
Master Lu scored 244,335 points, defeating 99% of users nationwide
Standby power consumption is 63W, full load 185W
FURMARK stability test, full load running for 10 minutes, the graphics card temperature is basically maintained at 67 °, three fan design really good to reduce the heat of the graphics card
3DMARK11 test results in the P file is 14115 points
The most high-end X file results for the X5442 points
Score results in the new 3DMRK test, Fire Strike test using a high-performance computer, score 10212; Cloud Gate items and Ice Storm items are mainly used when testing entry-level computers and mobile devices, score as shown above.
CINEBENCH R15 test results, the average graphics card is 121fps
Valley Benchmark Benchmark, scoring 2838 points at 2K resolution, with an average frame of 67.8fps, a score of 4237 points at 1080P resolution, and an average frame of 101.3
Heaven Benchmark benchmark test, 2K resolution of 1429 points, the average frame 56.7FPS, 1080P score of 2638 points, the average frame is 104.7FPS, from these two test comparison is not difficult to see that 2K resolution consumes more graphics performance than 1080P , but in exchange for a more detailed picture
Resident Evil 6 benchmarking test, the above picture shows the contrast between 2K resolution and 1080P resolution in the following figure, which basically differs by one third of the performance
Game Experience——————————————————————————————————————————
"Assassin's Creed: Revolution" Although there is no magic and brilliant special effects, but with the real era of background and smooth trick is the main factor I like this game; GALAXY GTX970 can use 2K resolution in this game can be smooth Running medium effect, the number of frames is stable above 45FPS, 1080P resolution is perfect smooth high-end special effects, the most advanced special effects 1080P maintain the number of frames in 40 frames
In Crysis 3, the medium 2K setting is perfectly smooth, the number of frames is kept at 50 frames or more, and 1080P can achieve extremely high results, but due to the weather or other factors, the number of frames will be unstable under extremely high resolution.
The use of 2K resolution in the video card to set medium effect in "Wizard 3" can be perfectly smooth, set the high-end effect of 1080 resolution to run perfectly. Frames stay at around 45 frames in extremely high environments
to sum up:
For players with loose pockets, GTX1080 is a luxuries luxury that cannot be found. Maybe many people will think that the GTX970 is a good choice. The grayscale GTX970 will use 4G memory for 256 bit width and 1190MHz core. The frequency and 1664 stream processors provide powerful performance. It's easy to understand that most mainstream games in the market can be highly effective. The three-fan cooling system can guarantee stable operation under load. Four video output interfaces (DP2HDMI1DVI1) can be set up. Four-screen; this card is also a major highlight of appearance, angular, but also joined the metal hexagonal and cellular network elements, giving people feel very metallic atmosphere, the only thing I regret is that the top LOGO does not have faith lights;
