The efficiency factor of the Corsair AX 860i is 0.92. When FurMark is running, the CPU pulls around 25W and the total power consumption is 227W. The GPU pulls too much power to execute FurMark rendering and then is downclocked to keep the power consumption at a tolerable value (TDP).Īt idle, the total power consumption of the testbed is 46W and the GPU temperature is 32☌ which is a nice temperature. This GPU core clock throttling is the sign of a weak/limited power circuitry or a power module that is designed to supply only the necessary power for stock clocks and voltage settings. In this FurMark burn-in test, the GPU core clock is 936 MHz which is lower than the base clock (1101 MHz):
#MSI AFTERBURNER GTX 970 DRIVER#
The GPU core clock of MSI’s GTX 970 is downclocked by NVIDIA driver when the graphics workload is too heavy. See THIS PAGE for all results in 1920×1080 fullscreen mode. I benchmarked MSI’s GTX 970 with several GPU tests. The min power target is 66% TDP and the max is 106% TDP. GPU speeds are overclocked compared to the reference card. This MSI GTX 970 has a base clock of 1101MHz (reference clock: 1050MHz) and a boost clock of 1240MHz (reference clock: 1178MHz). – 1 x HDMI 2.0 (see HERE for a test of the HDMI 2.0 port) There is no backplate or other technique to increase the robustness of the card. But is it efficient? We’ll see that point in the burn-in test. Behind this marketing name, we find a quiet VGA cooler with two 100mm fans. MSI has chosen a custom VGA cooler based on the ARMOR 2X thermal design.
#MSI AFTERBURNER GTX 970 INSTALL#
The bundle: very CLASSIC and limited to the bare minimum: the graphics card, a CDROM with drivers (is it still useful today?), an install doc and a VGA/DVI adapter. MSI GTX 970 4GD5T OC homepage can be found HERE. More information and detailed analysis of GM204 GPU can be found in the reviews section of THIS PAGE. This GTX 970 is based on the GM204 GPU which is the second iteration of NVIDIA Maxwell architecture. 2 – Hawk Series: Essentials for overclockers.1 – Lightning Series: Built to be perfect.Here are all Series ranked from the top line (Lightning) to the bottom (CLASSIC): MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GD5T OC is a graphics card that belongs to MSI’s CLASSIC Series.
