To overclock today we are using the latest V4.0.0 of MSI's Afterburner based on the excellent Rivatuner.
There was plenty of headroom available on this core. We pushed the core from 1,051 mhz to 1,284mhz before instability would occur. The Boost Speed was running at 1,411mhz. This translates into a very impressive 22.1% overclock. We have to point out that not every card will overclock to the same level as engineering tolerances will vary from card to card.
Still, all said, it is clear there is plenty of overclocking potential available on the OcUK GeForce GTX 970 ‘NVIDIA 970 Cooler Edition'.
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..?
