    I had that same Evga 970. I got it used in 2017 and it lasted me well into 2020. I ended up upgrading to a 2060 then a 3080, but I gave my 970 to my cousin and he plays esports titles and its still chugging along just fine!

    I love how capable these ivy bridge processors are especially overclocked- currently running a 3770 + 1650 and I love it. Great video and commentary!

      They are holding up quite well! And the 6 core, 12 thread CPU's from socket LGA 1366 seem to also be doing quite well!
      For this video though, I do think it would have been better to use my Intel Pentium G7400 though. As it would have been taxing the GPU more, which is good, as this is a video of benchmarking the GPU. Lol.
      Thank you! People say I sound like I should be in the News or something. (:

      I have been playing The Last of Us since yesterday on a 3770, 16 GB RAM and Asus 970 GTX at medium settings @1280x1080 and once the shaders got built (which took about an hour) the game has been running quite OK, with an occasional slowdown here and there, but quite playable. The 3770 In games is on a par with a Ryzen 5 2600.

    I just bought an ichill GTX 970 and a Ryzen 5 3600 for 50 Euro... putting together a used parts PC for Steam OS or just Win 10 for older games... I don't expect it to run new Triple A titles... but an easy upgrade is the GPU at some point.

    • @digitaljon1109
      @digitaljon1109  10 месяцев назад

      This graphics card should do a very good job for what you're trying to do. :-) it won't play Modern Triple A games but it won't have a problem with games a like the finals.

    • @miamijim5964
      @miamijim5964 10 месяцев назад

      basically it's going to go into a Server PC for my entertainment system... if it can play games at 60 FPS on medium settings I'll be very pleased... when it's all up and running I'll benchmark it in a few titles... but hey the GPU is the easiest part of a PC to upgrade.... i'll just keep looking online.@@digitaljon1109

    i had a windfroce 970 i paid 200 bucks back in 2020 when gpu were pricey but anyways i had with a ryzen 5 3600 and honestly it was a decent pair to get me started in pc gaming and i upgraded 1 month ago to a 3070 so the 970 will always have a spot in my heart as my frist gpu and it played good in warzone and fortnite

      The GTX 970 in 2023 is still a very good GPU! For some games that are modern, it struggles. But even then, it still gives a good effort! The GTX 980 Ti is much faster though. But it also uses a lot more power.

      My son was running my old GTX960 with a Ryzen 5 1600 for 4 years, he was gaming and all was fine... but I just upped his CPU to a 5600 and the GPU to a 12GB 3060.... now he's really happy... the used parts have gone in my used parts box :)

    I had a crazy drunk British friend who straight up said this card is shit. And by today standards he may not be wrong, but the fact this card from 2014 is even still capable of running these newer games at all is just mind blowing. This card saved my sorry ass when I needed something to run Halo Infinite when it launched.

    what software are you using to measure the FPS?

    • @digitaljon1109
      @digitaljon1109  Месяц назад

      I am using MSI afterburner. And I also use a thing called rivia tuner to cap the frame rate in some cases. I don't think I did that in this video though
      I also record with a capture card so I do not affect the frame rate.

  • @michaelbramall6799
    @michaelbramall6799 Год назад

    Lots will argue that the 970 is very similar in performance to the 1650 which is a relatively modern and popular GPU.. a couple of obvious differences though, the 1650 has full use of its 4gb of Vram, that Vram is also GDDR 6.

    • @digitaljon1109
      @digitaljon1109  Год назад

      They are still good though. And they are pretty similar though in performance if I'm not mistaken.

    what hz monitor should i get for this gpu? 120 or 144 or 165 or 240

    • @digitaljon1109
      @digitaljon1109  Год назад +1

      I would say either 60, or 120. The reason why is this is a rather old graphics card and it won't really produce that many frames per second. Unless it is a very old game. Also it is quite hard to tell any difference between 120 and 240. So I would say get 120, or 144 whichever is cheaper.

    Everyone gets a lot more fps in there benchmarks with this card, I have a FX8350. EVGA SC 4(3.5gb) GPU, 16gb ballistic kit. SSD is Samsung evo. For some reason I get a lot lower fps, would it be my gpu?

    • @digitaljon1109
      @digitaljon1109  Год назад

      I think it might be your CPU. Is the GPU maxed out at 95-100% when gaming?

    • @Demonanimator
      @Demonanimator 11 месяцев назад

      Seems like your CPU may be bottlenecking, Your current CPU is pretty decent for what it is even today, 8 cores, 4 GHz to 4.4 GHz boost clock speed, 125 Watt TDP, but you are limited to only 8 threads which may effect certain titles you are trying to run.

      Thank you! I usually think of adding it, but it seems I forgot. If I am not mistaking, this GPU uses about 150 Watts under full load. Hopefully that helps. (:

      but some time the gpu's may go higher or lower for exp. gtx 1060 set to 120 watt but it wont be using it even after a light overclock or the 750ti ...
      but u're doing great in your videos
      i like it and keep it up brother
      and i want to ask u a request : can u do an extreme undervolting for the gtx 970 and run it on some thing like under 120/125 watt cs i saw a video here on YT was running gtx 1070 under 100 watt i guess even under 90 watt and that was just great for power efficiency
      i k performance will drop but that would be great if the gpu would be power efficiency and still keep up with 1650 or 1050ti or a rx 470 4gb
      i hope u accept my request 🌹

      So i suggest u play around with the gpu bios using maxwell bios Tweaker and NVNVFLASH
      U can modifie the bios and tweak it to use less power qith lowering the clocks maybe a little bit down try 1178/1100mhz on clock and 1750/1700mhz on memory
      And lower the voltage
      But i advice u to use msi afterburner and gpu-z to see power consumption before so u would know what voltage and clocks u will be targeting in maxwell bios tweaker
