EVGA GTX 970 versions

[49Dallas]

I am now running an NVidia 970.  Everything up max frame rates at 60  (naturally vid sync on)  Great card for the price.

When you install, you will be directed through NVidia software to download the driver.  Do so, it works great.

What do you get in the beta?

What do you get in the beta?

Not sure if Hajo and I have the exact same card, but I also have a 970 and I hopped in there just to fly around in offline, with everything turned up I was locked at 60fps.

What screen resolution do you use?

What do you get in the beta?

I also have a GFX 970 and in the beta with the graphic settings on high and the environmental slider on full, I get 96fps w/vsync off and a steady 60fps with vsync on.  In the mission arenas with the sky full of planes, my FPS will dip to 84fps w/vsync off and 48fps with vsync on.

1920 X  1200

I think we should have a 390 vs 970 bench and figure out what AH likes the best . I have a 390 and id love to see how it stacks up. the 8 gigs isnt relevant cause it doesnt have enough for 4k but they are pretty close performance wise @ 1080 ....... 390 might be  better at 1440. . If anyone has a stock clocked 970 we should try some benches. If you have aa ftw just let me know cause i have some overclocking headroom .  I really did have sleepless nights trying to decide ... but the 390 came out on top for me .... vmmv   <S> 38

it would be really cool if an AH benchmark program was released that would give people an idea of how their card will perform in-game.

this would be a matter of choosing a benching software that all could aquire, FREE.
Still benchmarks would reflect an entire systems performance, not just the cards. Only true comparison would be benching each card on the same system.

Choose a bench program, I'll run it........... or post frame rates with consistant card settings, v sync off, same places in an arena area..

I'm not sure it's possible, or at least I don't think it has been with previous versions. I tried benchmarking before and making changes that 'should' have slowed down the program actually increased performance slightly. Maybe AHIII will change that.

390 vs 970 was a real tough choice for me and i consider myself an enthusiast.  I finally went with the 390 cause it was 20 bucks cheaper at the time, and performed a bit better at higher resolutions . The 8 gig's of memory on the 390 is kinda a marketing gimmick as of right now IMHO , cause the regular 390 doesnt have the gpu power to run 4K games at exceptable levels.  The extra memory will help at 1440p but I'm not sure the 970 would run into memory issues at that res either.... so back to square one lol . 

I'd just like to see which one will run AH3 better, i think it would help a lot of people in the future so they dont pull their hair out deciding like i did lol.  Maybe there wont be a big enough difference to say so , but it would be nice to see either way.

I've got the EVGA 970 FTW , in AH2 I haven't seen my frames drop below 90 in the toejam and typically stay between 100-144 vysnc/Gsync on (not sure if the gsync bit makes a difference or not - as not all monitors support it.) In the beta it seems to stay in the 80's, drops to the mid 70's here and there but just when a lot is going on. This is at 1920*1080, haven't messed with any resolutions higher than that yet.

bottom line, either product would more than likely work fine. All you need is a solid 60 f/s with everything enabled. You get that and your gold. Its good that you pulled some hair tho, now you know a little more overall.

I put a G1 in a PCIe 2.0 slot, an 8 year old build,  its rocking the game alright and its not that noisy.
