gtx 970 // 1080p

[Redjo]

Hello again !!

Can i get over 60fps on everything maxed out with gtx 970 ? 

If i have 144hz monitor will i be able to use them i mean you need over 144fps for 144hz right ?

[Evolved_Evil]

Depends on the game but most games will run max settings (not 4k) but I'm not sure if it will be 60 fps. 

Definitely is above 30 fps 

[HoiDaniel]

Yes, 1080p will be maxed out with a gtx970.

No, for 144hz you would need to put everything on medium settings on 1080p to even reach 144 fps.

[Zayzo]

Yes, 1080p will be maxed out with a gtx970.

Depends on game.

[Thermal]

Depends on the game, got any examples? We can point to benchmarks but unless we know your use case we can't give specifics!

U wont run everything maxed with 1 gtx 970 on all games. Get gtx 970 sli or 980 ti.

Maybe, no clue. You might, but not for much longer. 390x.

970's in sli are completely pointless.

[Evolved_Evil]

970's in sli are completely pointless.

I'm not arguing against you. Im just curious as to your reasoning?

[arronleeds]

completely wrong..... 970 sli is better than a single 980ti or titan x.

[Redjo]

I am talking about modern games like Crysis 3 // Gta V // etc etc

wait is it ?

Please just dont.

390x is not worth the jump in price from the 390 either.

[Zayzo]

No the 970 is not powerful enough then.

[arronleeds]

wait is it ? 

yes it is.

 

and you can probably get two 970s for less than a single 980ti, the only advantage the 980ti has is the vram.

[Starelementpoke]

wait is it ? 

Pretty much. The 2 cheapest cards costs about $600 together, and at that price you could just get a 390x, 980ti, or 2 290's(which would equal a 295x2). Also, their 3.5 vram limit will hurt you when you decide to step up your res or frames.

Raw performance, barely. And once you hit the 3.5 limit, have fun.

[Evolved_Evil]

I'd still say get one single card over two in SLI

But I definitely disagree that "970 in sli is pointless"

Not true.

I have gtx 970 sli. I would definely take gtx 980 ti over gtx 970 sli. But since i own it i can say "3.5gb vram" is not true. I do pass it and it works fine or are u saying one card will work fine and others will shutter? Here you go some videos with 3.5gb> if you want some prove.

[incarnate]

maxed 1080p or 1440p on very high/ultra at 60 fps is doable with a 970. 144 fps would require you to lower settings or sli. 

[Loadent]

SLI 970 is a fine for today's games! The 3.5 gb is nothing like is posted by the haters. I am running 2 in a x58 920 rig on a PG278Q 144. Amazing.

If you don't have the money for a 980ti. Get a 970 and only sli later if you want the boost!

[alphaman]

you can get 144hz,but depends on what game you play,and setting

[SteveGrabowski0]

970 SLI doesn't make any sense to buy now from the start with the 980 Ti offering similar performance for a similar price and with less power consumption. But it's still an awesome option if you already have a 970 and want to go up to 1440p 60 Hz or run 120/144 Hz 1080p on new AAA games by getting a second.

The GTX 970 can max out almost any game at 1080P >60 FPS. If you want to play at 144Hz, don't expect to do it on a single GPU outside of source games (like CSGO) or mobas unless you wanna play at low settings, or unless you want a stupid powerful GPU like 980 Ti / Fury X.
