EVGA provided our sample today, their EVGA GeForce GTX 970 SSC ACX 2.0+. While our GTX 980, GTX960 SSC, and Titan X reviews coming in the near future, we were thoroughly impressed by the performance from it’s little brother, the GTX 970. Now with the 900 series Nvidia has continued with their low power trend.ĭespite the impressive power consumption numbers, neither GPU is lacking in processing power. Although it wasn’t part of the 900 series and wasn’t the flagship card, it got enthusiasts craving for more Maxwell because it performed so well (at such low power) for such a low end card. The reference design of the 750 Ti features a ridiculous TDP of 55W and doesn’t even require a single 6 pin. Nvidia gave us a taste of Maxwell back in February of last year when they launched the awesome 750 Ti. Although Nvidia has been cutting down the power consumptions of their cards continuously since the infamous GTX 480 BBQ edition, Maxwell has really redefined the power to performance ratio at a time where AMD is concurrently struggling to cool their R9-290x cards. With the 980 priced at $549 and the GTX 970 priced at $329 and with both cards featuring sub 200W TDPs, the VGA market was drastically changed in a single day.
Nvidia launched the 900 series this September, as usual starting with their “flagship” GTX 980 and the slightly cut down GTX 970.
