Bios modded GTX 970 1440P performance and stats

[Flukester]

I have an msi 970, bios modded it and overclocked it. I have tested multiple games with it, performance increase is pretty big. I pushed this card to the limits, every game I played was on max settings at 1440p. I'm not sure if there is anyone here that has done the same thing I have, but I found this interesting so i'll share it here. I left the videos uncut. The 970 once overclocked can still be a very good card considering every game I tried had above 40fps, apart for gta. I'll link videos once they're uploaded.

 

First game I tried was; The Witcher 3.

Everything is on ultra and hair-works is on. Getting around 40fps on average, it does spike to 50 which you can see in the video but it did not stutter and felt very smooth when playing.

 

Second game I tried was; Far cry 5.

Once again, fully maxed out apart from resolution scale? I don't know what that is all that I know is it just tanks my fps. I get 50-60fps on max.

The last game I tried was; GTA5

Everything was maxed out except for msaa which I left on 4x. Once the card hit its max vram, fps started to drop. It wasn't throttling, it stayed at 1579mhz the whole time in the game. 

 

It really did make my 970 perform better is most games, I noticed an improvement. 1580mhz and 4110mem clock. Tdp increase, voltage mod, along with a slight l2c, xbar and sys overclock.

I was REALLY impressed. I also have a 970 and this card can take on overclokcs like a beast. I aslo plan to get a 2k display for it and i might do your settings.

Yeah, it's great to know our 970s aren't going away any time soon. I really like the 970, just wish it came with more vram. It got an 8.9 on steams vr benchmark, higher than most 970 users lol. If there is any games/benchmarks I missed that I could try out let me know, i'll gladly do it .  Wish I knew how to shrink photos on here, rather than having giant pictures like this lol. Sorry 

 

edit

I tried the metro benchmark at 1440p. It got 31fps avg. https://youtu.be/1r5yP6BDy2U Looks very playable, sure its not on the levels of the gtx 1070s and 1080s but its very good to me for an 970. I got it running stable close to 1.6ghz or 1600mhz. Still looks like I can push it further
