Inno3D GeForce GTX 970 "iChill Herculez X4 Air Boss Ultra" is the title of the card I bought from Overclockers here in the UK (didn't get the promised Haribo though). The only graphics card I have ever bought new.
@KONRAD Sorry for the late reply, for some reason I'm not getting notifications of them. My experience of buying second hand cards has been very good, as I mentioned the 970 is the only card I have ever bought new. Just recently I bought a GTX 780Ti on eBay for £32. It was sold as spares or repair as it was artifacting during use. On getting the card I took off the cooler to find that the thermal paste was only covering half the GPU die and the stuff that was there was dry as a bone.Cleaned it off and replaced the thermal paste and the card is back up and running just as it should, gives my media PC a nice little boost so that it can actually play games at a decent frame rate now. That's the danger with second hand cards though. The fix for the 780Ti was easy but I could have just as easily bought a card that was broken beyond repair. Of course the chances of getting a broken card get greater the older they get, the chances of the RTX 2080Ti being broken are slim but still there. In short you have to decide if you can afford to lose the money you spend on the card if it doesn't work, a lot of times getting your money back on a used purchase is not easy.
@@CoMpLeTeBeNJ what is the problem with mining cards (if the capacitors are not in a bad state) i mean i can just say my 1080 ti runned for 2 years on 4k every day around 2-6 hours on 70+ degrees and still runs like the first day (asus strix model) and if you compare that to a cheap mining card wich was used for 6 months its not a big difference (everything is still fine even temperatures still the same without thermal paste changed just fans and heatsink cleaned every 3 months)
980 ti is the best ti by far, in terms of oc headroom. my 980 ti gained 25-30% performance going from ~1200 mhz stock to ~1500 mhz oc. my current 1080 ti gained only 5-10% or so.. with 3d clocks of 2000ish
@@Dr.WhetFarts Yeah I still have my old 980TIs somewhere in a closet back in their boxes (forgot what brand). Overclocking on those were so easy and hell, you could get so much out of them. Currently still running my 1080TI FTW3 and can't touch it... only a little bit but I wouldn't do anything. Concerning temps with the stock cooler, Metro Exodus makes it peak at nearly 90C on ultra (1080p in my tests). Card gets crazy hot on certain games so I don't want to touch it unless I decide to watercool everything again.
I remember I used to have this card and its insane. It goes all the way up to 1600mhz on air with the reference pcb design. And this thing was 100bucks cheaper than a strix
A 6GB GTX780 will not have any noticeable improvements over the 3GB variant until you give it workloads that utilize more VRAM than the 3GB unit can handle. The common use case for these cards is putting these cards in SLI in order to drive high resolutions, where VRAM bottlenecking is much more common.
@@Somerandomegamer well I can tell you know that my GTX 780ti has only 3GB and I am struggling to run rdr2 on the settings that I know the 6GB card non TI will handle with ease.
holy shit you covered my card! well it's actually a reference 980ti that i bolted the cooler off my dead 980 herculez x4 onto. the cooler on this thing is insane, my card never goes above 70° even at 1480mhz, and that's with a pretty much silent fan curve. the only bad thing is that the VRM fan is not speed controlled, and i don't have the equipment to check whether the VRM is cool enough without it. (btw this is a reference PCB, which is why i think the x4 model is preferable. the VRM on the reference 980ti isn't spectacular, a bit of extra cooling is definitely not a bad idea)
I still have, but no longer in active use... a version of this in the GTX 980 Herculez X4 Air boss Ultra... a superb card, nice clock speeds and on avg. that extra fan helped cool the core a few more degrees than my Gainward GTX980 and other cards. Superb Cooling. I remember having to modify and remove some of my 3.5" drive bays in one of my mid tower cases because of the length of this monster.
I'm glad you're testing at higher resolutions! Keep up the good work. I like to see older games or games with optimised (i.e. not Ultra) settings being tested
The small fan can be taken off and more oil can be put in to the fan by taking off the sticker its like a 2min job to do and will stop the fan making noise if it starts to go bad
I love this brand, I have a 970 with same cooler and shiet. It stays cool and quiet, even at full load. Also, It has been 4 years since i got it. Changed its paste lately, but no problems with the fans either.
@@fetconfet nope. in older games its slightly faster, but the new architecture with the 1660ti is going to make it perform a lot better in new games compared to the 980ti. plus, the faster memory does help a bit.
I have the Inno3D X3 gtx 1080 Ti, they did another X4 model of the 1080 Ti as well, it looks better than this one did, but I still prefer the look of just the 3 fans by a long way!
the 4th fan is actually not just for flair, it's mounted on a heatsink which is connected to the VRM by a heatpipe. the inno3d cards use reference PCBs, and the VRMs on especially the reference maxwell cards are not that amazing, so the extra cooling is definitely a good idea. they don't get much airflow from the rather slow spinning fans through the massive heatsinks.
@@kennedymoreiras3054 not really, it's mounted on a metal plate. The 4th fan doesn't blow any air onto the main beatsinks, it just cools the VRM. Also this is a three slot card, which is less than ideal for sli
@@kennedymoreiras3054 really isn't the fans on this card spin very slow, and the VRM would not get much cooling otherwise. since this is a reference PCB some decent VRM cooling is very welcome for overclocking. they basically got around designing a custom PCB just by building a smart cooler
I have this same card in the NON TI form... I also bought used on Ebay many years ago, and found a rare Gainward GTX980 Chinese Guan Yu version as well both in excellent shape... That Inno3d is one of the coolest running cards for its power/performance by far compared to other manufacturers. I'm happy to have it in my collection.
inno3d does a really good job with the herculez cards. i've got the 1070 ichill x4 and it's a beast core clock over 2000mhz out of the box without touching anything and stays under 70°C and imo the pascal cards look better then the maxwell
Its funny i used to watch every single of your videos a few years ago, then i suddenly stopped without a reason, and im not even sure why, you still make great content. Thumbs up from me
ultra settings don't always look better, and are often poorly optimized for the graphics cards drivers. They also often add extra clutter that ads more anti-aliasing type artifacts.
i had one of those mousepads. i think i used it for about 6 years... maybe longer. it literally started melting or decomposing into sticky black rubber on the underside (frequent tea spillages likely didn't help).
Cool card. This video also shows that if you are building a new PC (which many will be with ryzen 3xxx upcoming release) you should go with the MINIMUM CPU of 8 core, preferably with ht/smt. You can see here 6 cores already being maxed out and there are already games that use up to 12 threads.
that's not a core problem, that's an issue with FC new dawn and specifically the 6c/6t intel parts. there are very few titles still that show a difference between a 2600x and a 2700x
Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 here, competing with a GTX 970 is quite the same now. The GTX 980 non-Ti however beats it by 15-20%, but you have got to realize those 2 were more expensive cards than mine. Also beats GTX 780 and at launch it wasn't near it or it's price.
@RandomGaminginHD I just build a PC around some old parts: ASUS Maximus VI Gene = $135 i5-4570 = $60 8 GB DDR3 1600 = Free(Will upgrade on Amazon day) Samsung 840 256 GB SSD = $38 Hitachi 3TB Ultrastar HD 7200 RPM = $48 MSI 1050 Ti long card = $85 Thermaltake V200 RGB Case = $80 EVGA BQ 80+ 600w = $58 The case and PSU were the last things I bought but I got all while going to various dealer shops so picking up parts as I go I only spent $504. I know the 4570 isnt able to truly OC so I'm looking at getting a K processor and 16 GB of RAM.
Why on Earth would you go for a Radeon VII? It presented no real advantages over the RTX 2080 when it released, apart from its VRAM. And I'm an AMD guy. Do you plan on switching to Navi?
Was running an Asus matrix 980ti at 4K for a couple years. When I upgraded 6 months ago, the card ran games great, never exceeded ~64°c, and only had 2 fans. But also required 2 8 pins. (The molex is for LN2 cooling)
I have the gigabyte 980 ti extreme with 2 8 pin and 1 6 pin conectors and i was able to get it to oc to gtx 1080 performance levels. Awesome video by the way.
I have the X3 version and it's a already a beast, I think it's the best cooling for "stock pcb" card, and I got lucky for the core, easy overclocking to 1560MHz with only 1.21v
I love my Gigabyte G1 980Ti that I still have around in my previous PC. Such a cool design and decent performance. This was a good generation of graphics cards. My current build has a ROG Strix 2080 Super in case you're wondering.
@SkilledRebuilds well i assume the point of this specific model is better thermals to achieve a higher stable overclock. since this model is in limited quantity, just googling regular 980 ti overclocks wouldnt truly show what this one can do.
In the case of this card, and the regular 980 and GTX 970 from Inno3D that share the same cooler, they come factory overclocked really quite aggressively. You might be able to get a little more performance out of them but nothing that is worth speaking of.
This video shows that you can build even 4K PC at a budget. Amazing! Of course, got to get 2nd hand parts that vary in price but that is really surprising and fantastic.
Can you add section can it run crysis? I mean cmon we all know that crysis was game to bench your pc, so gpu intensive game, add original Crysis or Crysis 3, and crysis is not a game to run at medium, even if it makes 10 fps it needs to be set at ultra
Before upgrading to a 3080fe i had 2x 980tis watercooled and they were amazing cards, you can achieve great clock speeds with msi afterburner! Well worth the money if you cant get your hands on a 1080ti!
I used to have one of these, bought it when it came out. The top fan never made much noise and with the big cooler it overclocked really well, but after not quite 2 years of running that way the VRM conked out. Best part was that is was still under warranty (even with overclocking) but it wasn't available anymore so I got a huge discount on a GTX 1080 instead.
4 yo card and it is still very viable for modern games kinda nice to see this old relic managing to run even the newest game just fine on 1080p-1440p also I wonder which clock it ran out of the box since you could get many cards near the 1.5 GHz if not more usually giving really good boost in performance vs stock cards.
@@Diamond_Hanz the 980 ti pulls just as much power as the 290x. i literally didn't turn on my heating in my room this winter, 5820K and 980ti take care of that quite easily.
What program do you use to get those cpu gpu performance and FPS and stuff?? I’m buying a asus tuf fx504 gtx 1060 i5 8300h 8gb ram laptop, and that might help me a lot

I have the gigabyte 980 ti extreme with 2 8 pin and 1 6 pin conectors and i was able to get it to oc to gtx 1080 performance levels. Awesome video by the way.
Ichill after benchmark: "help!!! iburn iburn" !!!
This is such a super cool design. I've never seen these before. Always fancied the 980ti's. Such incredible cards.
My loved my old 980 ti ... until it became the temperature of the sun
I have the X3 version and it's a already a beast, I think it's the best cooling for "stock pcb" card, and I got lucky for the core, easy overclocking to 1560MHz with only 1.21v
howdy, you made a comment about your eyes getting worse in a recent video. do you have a specific eye condition?
Its called screenaritus
He has a very serious eye desease he talked about in a prévois video
@@hidenname541 any idea which video?
@@FroggyTWrite nope
Might've been the OUYA video, but I'm not too sure.
I love my Gigabyte G1 980Ti that I still have around in my previous PC. Such a cool design and decent performance. This was a good generation of graphics cards.
My current build has a ROG Strix 2080 Super in case you're wondering.
i got the x3, itsa a decent card but i need an upgrade
I Bought This Card Arround a Year Ago Open Box , Like new .. Didnt use it yet since im a tech Reseller , Whats a Fair Price for it? Thank you !
What don't you overclock any of the gpu's that you test, this card looks like it would be a good overclocker
@SkilledRebuilds well i assume the point of this specific model is better thermals to achieve a higher stable overclock. since this model is in limited quantity, just googling regular 980 ti overclocks wouldnt truly show what this one can do.
In the case of this card, and the regular 980 and GTX 970 from Inno3D that share the same cooler, they come factory overclocked really quite aggressively. You might be able to get a little more performance out of them but nothing that is worth speaking of.
Amazing to see that a GPU from 2015 is able to play modern games on 4k at reasonable settings and good framerates
Unusual Beasts and Where to Find Them
This video shows that you can build even 4K PC at a budget. Amazing! Of course, got to get 2nd hand parts that vary in price but that is really surprising and fantastic.
Funny how many videos on the 980 ti are popping up now that I just bought my kingpin 980ti
The kingpin and classified cards from evga of the 900 series are so damn cool looking
Google man..google. Even if you whisper to a friend you wanna buy a phone or anything ever..you will get an ad for that item when you go online.
@@neocortez9254 that's so true.I was discussing with a friend about camera lenses and when I opened Facebook it was the first thing I saw
armando1is1great truth man and so easy to service them I love how easy it is to clean and change the thermal paste
I bet these things were great at being cooled. Love that little fan on the top. When I was younger, the 980ti is the GPU I dreamed of having.
Can you add section can it run crysis? I mean cmon we all know that crysis was game to bench your pc, so gpu intensive game, add original Crysis or Crysis 3, and crysis is not a game to run at medium, even if it makes 10 fps it needs to be set at ultra
Before upgrading to a 3080fe i had 2x 980tis watercooled and they were amazing cards, you can achieve great clock speeds with msi afterburner! Well worth the money if you cant get your hands on a 1080ti!
That card looks like an early 2000s pimped hummer H2. In other words it's an eyesore.
I used to have one of these, bought it when it came out.
The top fan never made much noise and with the big cooler it overclocked really well, but after not quite 2 years of running that way the VRM conked out.
Best part was that is was still under warranty (even with overclocking) but it wasn't available anymore so I got a huge discount on a GTX 1080 instead.
That electricity bill and the and of year tho....
I have the GTX 970 from Inno3D, same cooling block and fan setup. My card runs not too hot even to this day but after the years it gets very loud.
me, an intellectual with a gt 1030 and 4gb of ram: *30 fps 650p ultra low and extreme lag when driving*
4 yo card and it is still very viable for modern games
kinda nice to see this old relic managing to run even the newest game just fine on 1080p-1440p
also I wonder which clock it ran out of the box since you could get many cards near the 1.5 GHz if not more
usually giving really good boost in performance vs stock cards.
Well the GTX 1080 is 3 years old.
"iChiLL" sounds like an Apple branded GPU 😂
I think space engineers would be a great game to test stuff on as it can be intensive but with settings changed it would be fine, I would love to know
I‘d like that one in my i5 sleeper build. 😀
Referring to Metro Exodus as being the new Crysis is kinda right except Crysis didn't crash every 5 mins. Great vid btw
put this card with an i7 4790k and you've got a beast rig :p
4790k@4.6Ghz here... I get 2100 in Cinebench R20
RODRIGO FILHO The 4790k is still bloody fast, for a 5 year old CPU thats pretty good! It does a good job firing a gameserver.
I still run a 4690k oc'd to 4.6 and even that just stomps the games
my z97x soc just died and i "upgraded" to a ryzen 3600. a slight difference in fps but really not much, 15% at the most
As Ali G would say, this is the gaming channel with the most realness. Restecpa!
You can use this gpu to heat up your house during winter.
Get rid of the fans
That's a 290x
the r9 fury X got you
@@Diamond_Hanz the 980 ti pulls just as much power as the 290x. i literally didn't turn on my heating in my room this winter, 5820K and 980ti take care of that quite easily.
What program do you use to get those cpu gpu performance and FPS and stuff?? I’m buying a asus tuf fx504 gtx 1060 i5 8300h 8gb ram laptop, and that might help me a lot
I believe he uses msi afterburner
Might get my wife one for Warcraft as I am sick of her moaning about her current graphics card.
Sounds like one of the more enviable complaints you could have from a wife!
I wonder why she's moaning..🤔
@@thehummelballkickers4485 having to play with avarage to low settings.
@Father but it produces a lot of heat, a 1660ti would be better and it will preform better than a gtx 1070
I noticed your vids are being released more frequently. Good work buddy 👍
Should have paired it with with your Ryzen chip as it was a massive CPU bottleneck
lol no it's not
i5 performs better than Ryzen 5 in games
What application are you using to show the cpu and gpu percentage in-game in the top right corner?
Msi afterburner
@@eh5692 thank you
@@joshuarushold no prob
so you have a 4k monitor but your best specs are i5 8400 and 1070? wow , I'm like the opposite : i7 8700k RTX 2080 but a 1050p monitor xD
Why do you have those specs on a 1080p monitor. Is it at least 144 hz because there would be no point if it wasnt.
I forgot 1050p existed, my parent's ancient PC had one of those monitors
But...why ?
Ran out of money for the monitor lol
The "Power Supply Guideline" is wrong about the 760 having 2x 6-pin connectors as my ASUS DirectCUii OC GTX 760 only had a single 6-pin
