Thief is set in a dark fantasy world inspired by Victorian, gothic, and steampunk aesthetics. Garrett, a master thief who has been away from his hometown for a long time, returns to it, a place known only as The City, and finds it ruled with an iron grip by a tyrant called The Baron. While The City is ravaged by a plague, the rich continue to live in isolation and good fortune while the poor are forming numerous mobs against the authorities, Garrett intends to use the volatile situation to his favor.

We test at the ‘very high' preset for maximum image quality. Resolution is set to 4k for this particular test.
Even the highest overclocked GTX980's struggle to maintain smooth frame rates at Ultra HD 4k. The GTX970 really hasn't a chance.

OK you tested the card but at the beginning of the review you talk about improvements to reduce coil whine and during the entire test you didn’t even make a specific test to verify the OcUK claims of reduced coil whine. This is the first review from Kitguru I’ve read that I deem to be incomplete. If you want a good testing scenario for coil whine I’ve got an easy one for you that works every time. Just let me know.
Instead of coil whine, we ended up with comment whine.
Well don’t you think they should have tested it specifically for that reason?
Nice review. I got this Card yesterday and put in my rig. What a great Quality. I overclock the gpu to 1200 MHz and the mem to 1900 MHz. Only set the limit in MSI afterburner from 100 to 106. With those settings, it boost to 1420 MHz on core. You Guys have 84 MHz more on the gpu and only boost to 1411Mhz ? Why..?
