Performance Rating
The GeForce GTX 970 was a performance-segment graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on September 19th, 2014. Built on the 28 nm process, and based on the GM204 graphics processor, in its GM204-200-A1 variant, the card supports DirectX 12. This ensures that all modern games will run on GeForce GTX 970. The GM204 graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 398 mm² and 5,200 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked GeForce GTX 980, which uses the same GPU but has all 2048 shaders enabled, NVIDIA has disabled some shading units on the GeForce GTX 970 to reach the product's target shader count. It features 1664 shading units, 104 texture mapping units, and 56 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 4 GB GDDR5 memory with the GeForce GTX 970, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 1050 MHz, which can be boosted up to 1178 MHz, memory is running at 1753 MHz (7 Gbps effective).
