a b Double precision performance of the Maxwell chips' are 1/32 of single-precision performance. [52] [53] The Asus GTX 970 DC Mini is designed specifically for Mini-ITX gaming PCs and home theatre systems, and Asus has managed to reduce the length of the card to just 170mm. The single fan might have to work a little harder, and make slightly more noise than cards such as the Asus STRIX GTX 970, but scores of 118.2fps in Dirt Showdown, 77.3fps in Tomb Raider and 44.8fps in Metro: Last Light suggest this card would be overkill for a 1,920×1,080 display. As with the other GTX 970 cards, gaming at 2,560×1,440 is possible in the most demanding titles at sky-high detail levels, and 3,840×2,160 gaming is on the cards if you reduce detail levels slightly. a b c Ryan Smith, Ganesh T S.

Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, RX 5700, the RTX 3060 was 10.3 % faster. Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RTX 3060 consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the RTX 2060, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER and it really justifies an upgrade.

Card Notes

Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, RX 5500 XT 4GB, the RTX 3050 was 40.1 % faster. Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RTX 3050 consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the GTX 1650 and it really justifies an upgrade. GM204 supports CUDA Compute Capability 5.2 compared to 5.0 on GM107/GM108 GPUs, 3.5 on GK110/GK208 GPUs and 3.0 on GK10x GPUs. [14] [24] [26] Maxwell requires that the GPU be statically partitioned for asynchronous compute to allow tasks to run concurrently. [51] Each partition is assigned to a hardware queue. If any of the queues that are assigned to a partition empty out or are unable to submit work for any reason (e.g. a task in the queue must be delayed until a hazard is resolved), the partition and all of the resources in that partition reserved for that queue will idle. [51] Asynchronous compute therefore could easily hurt performance on Maxwell if it is not coded to work with Maxwell's static scheduler. [51] Furthermore, graphics tasks saturate Nvidia GPUs much more easily than they do to AMD's GCN-based GPUs which are much more heavily weighted towards compute, so Nvidia GPUs have fewer scheduling holes that could be filled by asynchronous compute than AMD's. [51] For these reasons, the driver forces a Maxwell GPU to place all tasks into one queue and execute each task in serial, and give each task the undivided resources of the GPU no matter whether or not each task can saturate the GPU or not. [51] Products [ edit ] GeForce 900M (9xxM) series [ edit ] You might say 2015 hasn't been the most exciting year for graphics cards, though in many ways it was more eventful than 2014. The only big highlight last year was the arrival high-end Maxwell GPUs in the form of the GeForce GTX 980 and 970. Then this year Maxwell did what many thought was impossible: becoming considerably faster. Issues with the GeForce GTX 970's specifications were first brought up by users when they found out that the cards, while featuring 4GB of memory, rarely accessed memory over the 3.5GB boundary. Further testing and investigation eventually led to Nvidia issuing a statement that the card's initially announced specifications had been altered without notice before the card was made commercially available, and that the card took a performance hit once memory over the 3.5GB limit were put into use. [29] [30] [31]

Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RX 6700 XT consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the RX 5700, AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT and it really justifies an upgrade. Compared to its NVIDIA 's closest rival, RTX 3070, the RX 6700 XT was -8.7 % slower. Wasson, Scott (January 26, 2015).

Before moving on, AMD will release a dual-GPU version of the Fury X which should become the Fury X2. Nvidia could also return fire with a dual-GPU monster of its own.

Bought mine some days ago, just got it 2 day, installed it, tried first with 100Mhz extra, as I saw Jay2Cent run it at 1500Mhz without any problems, mine took the 100 while staying at 53c, dropped 50Mhz on top, stayed at 53c, and ran test without any problems, but one thing is benchmark's, another games, will c how it do, so fare no OV or MEM OC. The GTX 970 has 4 GB RAM compared to the GTX 770 's 2 GB video memory. In our synthetic benchmarks, the GTX 970 blows past the GTX 770 and, amazingly, even the GTX 780 as well.

While the Maxwell series was marketed as fully DirectX 12 compliant, [2] [41] [42] Oxide Games, developer of Ashes of the Singularity, uncovered that Maxwell-based cards do not perform well when async compute is utilized. [43] [44] [45] [41] Nvidia revealed that it is able to disable individual units, each containing 256KB of L2 cache and 8 ROPs, without disabling whole memory controllers. [39] This comes at the cost of dividing the memory bus into high speed and low speed segments that cannot be accessed at the same time unless one segment is reading while the other segment is writing because the L2/ROP unit managing both of the GDDR5 controllers shares the read return channel and the write data bus between the two GDDR5 controllers and itself. [39] This is used in the GeForce GTX 970, which therefore can be described as having 3.5 GB in its high speed segment on a 224-bit bus and 0.5 GB in a low speed segment on a 32-bit bus. [39]

These were often criticized as useless move, as titles that would use so much VRAM and actually gain advantage over 2 GB versions, would already run too slow on those resolutions and settings, as GTX960 didn't have enough compute power and memory bandwidth to handle it. [95] Despite this specification stumble, however, the GTX 970 is still a seriously powerful GPU. The reference design has 1,664 CUDA cores running at 1,050MHz, boosting up to 1,178MHz when thermal limits allow. The 4GB of GDDR5 memory runs at 1,750MHz, operating on a 256-bit memory bus. The underlying GM204 GPU core has much in common with the GTX 980, except here it consumes less power as part of the chip is disabled. As with other cards that use the Maxwell architecture, the GTX 970 is surprisingly power-efficient, only drawing 145W when playing the most demanding games.

AMD was forced into aggressive discounts last year to compete, but this year the company has been competitive at the upper end of the high-performance GPU market and has therefore felt less pressure to reduce prices. a b c Ryan Smith.
