ASUS STRIX GeForce GTX 970 Overclocked
ASUS Strix GTX 980 gaming graphics cards packed with exclusive ASUS technologies, including DirectCU II for cooler, quieter and faster performance for incredible action gaming, and 0dB fan technology for light gameplay in total silence and Blu-ray movie playback that's free from distracting background noise. Strix GTX 980 features exclusive ASUS DIGI+ voltage-regulator module (VRM) technology and 10-phase Super Alloy Power components for enhanced durability and cooling. Strix GTX 980 has 4GB of high-speed GDDR5 video memory.
30% cooler. Silent gaming.
Exclusive DirectCU II cooling technology outperforms reference designs with an exclusive 10mm heatpipe that transports 40% more heat away from the GPU — a first for the industry! The design also includes 220%-larger heat-dissipation: this means performance that's 30% and three-times (3X) quieter than reference for ultra-stable hardcore gaming with very low noise. And Strix ups the ante still further with 0dB fan technology that lets you enjoy games like League of Legends and StarCraft in complete silence — because the fan stops completely when the GPU temperature remains below a set level.
30% less power noise and 2.5X greater durability
Acclaimed DIGI+ VRM has been applied via a 10-phase power design that uses digital voltage regulators to minimize power noise by 30%, enhance power efficiency by 15%, widen voltage modulation tolerance, and improve overall stability and longevity by 2.5 times over reference.

I'm no stranger to ASUS products. I have an ASUS laptop, tablet, monitor, and other various things. The motherboard in my last gaming rig was an ASUS, and it served me well. I've gotten one lemon from them (Transformer Pad C103, which they fixed and it stopped working again later) but everything else has exceeded expectations, and their customer service has been good. I wouldn't say it's "awesome", but they were competent and willing to help when I needed it. They didn't go above and beyond, but they didn't fall short, either.
Anyway, I felt good about trying ASUS for my graphics card. My last card was a VisionTek Radeon HD 7850, and it's still doing duty in my HTPC. It has gotten a bit long in the tooth to handle newer games, though. I switched over to Nvidia because I don't have any brand-loyalty in the Nvidia-vs-AMD war (whichever works for me is all I care about) and because, again, I have a small Dell case. Most of the R9 390 offerings were huge, and they all run hotter and draw way more power than the GeForce equivalent.
Yes, I'm aware of the 3.5 + .5 GB memory issue, but I'm using this for 1080p gaming, so I'm unlikely to run into that. Yes, I'm aware that R9 is a newer product and has been showing its teeth in benchmarks, but I also know that Nvidia's GameWorks, HairWorks, Physx and other technologies are present in most of the games I care about, and that the Radeon cards have been choking on those features despite being faster cards all around. What I saw was that in the comparison between the two, it really was "six of one, half-dozen of the other" and I decided to go with the card that had lower TDP, cooler operation, and more support in more of the games I play. Another consideration was that I will be using the card for video editing, encoding, and a use for Cuda processing.
So I went for the ASUS STRIX. It is truly silent when idle. The fans don't spin (or spin very slowly) and the PC stays nice and quiet. When it gets going in an intense game, the fans spin up but they're still not as loud as my old HD 7850 was all the time. The case also stays very cool, considering the Ultra graphics I'm cranking out.
The fit was exceptionally tight in my case. Honestly, I had to cut out my hard drive cage to make this fit, and I had to go with angled SATA connectors because this card goes right over my motherboard's SATA ports. Still, I got it in there, so if you're a Dell Inspiron i3847 owner, just know you CAN get one of these puppies in your case and onto you motherboard if you're willing to void your warranty and do a little modifying to the stock case and parts. You should also know you'll need a better power supply (the Inspiron comes with a weak little 300 watt thing). I have a Corsair RM550 in mine, and it handles this load with plenty of overhead.
The STRIX uses an 8-pin connector instead of two six-pin connectors for power. That means it doesn't user-overclock as much as the competition, but that's okay... It comes out of the box already factory overclocked more than much of the competition. You still have a little room to maneuver if you want to OC, but frankly, I haven't needed to yet. This thing gobbles up everything I throw at it.
I did get some framerates dropping below 40 on Arkham Origins when I maxed out everything and set it to 2715x1527 resolution, but dropping the resolution back down to 1080p made everything jump up significantly. 60+ was doable at that setting.
Skyrim runs like a dream on this, and that's with ultra high resolution, texture mods galore, full ultra settings, and ENB applied. I'm happy.
All in all, I'm glad I jumped for the ASUS STRIX. It's a good version of the GTX 970. You'll be happy with it if you're looking to play some new games at 1080p while keeping your system cool and quiet.
The PC market is interesting, it has been on a decline for sure, but here at Vanguard we've noticed an opposite trend. Gaming PCs are getting more and more popular, much like an American muscle car, or should we say card. We all want a beast of a gaming rig as, let’s face it, PC gaming as an experience is just so much better than anything else out there. Roughly a year and a half ago it became apparent that Nvidia was brewing a new GPU architecture under codename Maxwell. Yes, named after the mathematical physicist. The Maxwell family of GPUs is actually the 10th generation of GPU architecture for Nvidia. With several design goals in mind (higher performance and lower power consumption) Nvidia was hoping to reach 20nm by the time their high-end product would be released. It is now September 2014 and it is abundantly clear that the 20nm nodes are not yet viable for volume production of wafers with huge transistor counts. So Nvidia pretty much had to go with plan B and stuck with 28nm, this makes their silicon sizable, in relative proportions of course. None the less, Nvidia has moved forward and today the 2nd Maxwell based products (GTX 750 was actually the first trial) are being released as GM204 based GPUs. Yes, correct, GM204 and not GM210, meaning Nvidia is once again using the ‘high-end’ and not ‘enthusiast class’ chip to empower the product series we are about to review. Armed with voltage, power and load limiters, Nvidia these days can harvest massive performance out of chips when you think about it. They did the very same with Kepler really, GK104 versus GK110 anyone? So Nvidia certainly is doing something right. Today is testimony to that as we see two products performing in the GTX 780 Ti range of performance, but both will consume much less power. That’s actually a primary feature design target for Maxwell, more performance with less power consumption. The GPU used thus is the 28nm GM204, and the two derivatives created from it are the GeForce GTX 970 and 980. Ah, you noticed? Yes, correct, Nvidia decided to skip the 800 series to avoid confusion with some of their rebranded mobile parts. Maxwell is a new and sound architecture and as such it is released with a new series name. In this article we will have an extensive look at the architecture behind Maxwell, we will look at gaming performance from Full HD to Ultra HD, we will look at power and thermal characteristics and will serve you that on a silver platter.
GeForce GTX 970 from ASUS. With a custom PCB, all dark design and the DirectCU Strix cooler the GTX 970 will get all the cooling it needs, with temps reaching a maximum of roughly 70 Degrees C with incredible low noise levels. In fact in idle or desktop mode, the fans won't even spin until they reach 67 Degrees C. And how does a 1114 MHz core GPU clock frequency with a 1253 MHz Boost frequency sound eh? tweaked you will reach 1400 MHz on this card fairly easily.

GTX950・960・1050・1050Ti買うなら、後悔するから、GTX970もしくは1060以上なら間違い無い。
グラフィックカードを購入するのは初めてで、とりあえずMINIを選びました。
大きさは大体、17.5×12.5×4cmです。
縦に取り付けてみたところ、高さ12.5cmでちょうどドライブベイの下にギリギリに
グラフィックカードが収まる感じになりました。
なので、電源ケーブル分の高さが足りず、付けることができませんでした。
せっかく電源ケーブルの6ピンから8ピンの変換ケーブルを購入したのが無駄になりました。
購入した後に気づいたのですが、注目するのは、長さより高さで、出力端子の金具と
ドライブベイの間を測ってから、写真のグラフィックカード本体と出力端子金具の高さの
差を見てから、購入すれば良かったと後悔しています。
最新ゲームは別として、それなりに思い過去のゲームもフルHDでゲーム可能なくらいは動かせます。
直前に960を使ってましたがベンチも実際の動きもそれなりに向上しました。
何より小型なので、コンパクトなゲームPCを作りたい人にはお勧めです。
