![]() ![]() ![]() What does it mean? Simply that GPU core clock speed should not be downclocked by the graphics driver when the graphics card is tortured by FurMark. All serious cards should be FurMark-proof. This card is FurMark-proof and it’s a good thing. See THIS PAGE for all results in 1920×1080 fullscreen mode. I benchmarked Gainward’s GTX 970 with several GPU tests. The min power target is 55% TDP and the max is 111% TDP. GPU speeds are overclocked compared to the reference card. This Gainward GTX 970 has a base clock of 1152MHz (reference clock: 1050MHz) and a boost clock of 1304MHz (reference clock: 1178MHz). The four 8mm copper heat-pipes (on Gainward website, five heat-pipes are specified, but in real life, there are only four heat-pipes): – 1 x Mini-HDMI 2.0 (see HERE for a test of the HDMI 2.0 port) This card offers three Mini-DisplayPort connectors for those who wish plug three 4k monitors! The GTX 970 Phantom must be handled with care! We are far away from tanks like ASUS GTX 980 Strix. Actually it’s fragile, I’m talking about the black plastic structure, not the heat sink / heat pipes. The Phantom has a nice design but it seems… fragile. A handy feature of this Phantom cooler is the removable fans: you can remove each fan separately to clean dust if necessary. This cooler is extremely quiet even under load which is just great. Gainward has equipped its GTX 970 with a custom VGA cooler called Phantom cooler. Who needs this extra power connector? This card requires a decent PSU that has enough PCI-E power connectors… The bundle: limited to the bare minimum: the graphics card, a CDROM with drivers (is it still useful today?), an install doc, a VGA/DVI adapter and a molex-2-pci-e power connector. ![]() I’d like to thank people at Internex for this GTX 970 Phantom! Thanks guys!īig pictures of Gainward GTX 970 Phantom can be found on Geeks3D forum HERE. Gainward GTX 970 Phantom homepage can be found HERE. More information and detailed analysis of GM204 GPU can be found in the reviews section of THIS PAGE. Gainward GTX 970 Phantom is based on the GM204 GPU which is the second iteration of NVIDIA Maxwell architecture. Here is the first Gainward graphics card I test at Geeks3D labs! This GTX 970 Phantom has some nice assets as you will see. ![]()
