Gainward Phantom GeForce GTX 970 4GB Review

Overclocking and Overclocked Performance

We thought that the GTX 970 would have more frequency headroom than the GTX 980 given the less dense die: how wrong we were. The Gainward GTX 970 fell 105MHz short of the stock GTX 980 on core terms and nearly a 100MHz short on memory terms. We’re not sure why this was the case but given what we’ve seen from other GTX 970 reviews we have no reason to believe this is abnormal. In total we had an 8% bump in frequency giving a 7~% bump in performance: fairly standard stuff.
