The new generation of EVGA GeForce GTX 970s have arrived with the SSC. This enhanced model offers an included backplate, improved cooling, double BIOS support, new display output configuration and 6 power phases for robust overclocking support. The new EVGA ACX 2.0+ cooler brings new features to the award winning EVGA ACX 2.0 cooling technology. A Memory MOSFET Cooling Plate (MMCP) reduces MOSFET and Memory temperatures and optimized Straight Heat Pipes (SHP) reduce GPU temperature by an additional 5C. ACX 2.0+ coolers also feature optimized Swept fan blades, double ball bearings and an extreme low power motor, delivering more air flow with less power, unlocking additional power for the GPU.
· Backplate - Included backplate gives the FTW+ card a nice clean look and helps reinforce the PCB.
· dBi - dB Noise Inverter turns fans off below 60 deg. C, generating 0dB of noise during idle
· QSD BIOS - Quick Switch Dual BIOS allow you to switch to secondary BIOS with the flick of a switch
· MMCP - Memory MOSFET Cooling Plate reduces MOSFET temps by 47% and Memory by 14%
· OPT - Optimized Power Target offers 33% more power over reference
· SHP - Straight Heat Pipes reduce GPU temperature by almost 5 deg. C
· Optimized Swept Fan Blades
· Double ball bearings for 4X longer lifespan
· 26% Cooler, 36% More GPU power
· 3x DisplayPort 1.2, HDMI 2.0 and DVI
· 250% Lower fan power consumption
EVGA ACX 2.0+ Plus
EVGA ACX 2.0+ coolers are 26% cooler than reference, giving you the coolest and highest performance possible.
Zero Noise, Silent Gaming
EVGA's ACX 2.0+ fan turns off below 60 deg. C, generating absolutely no noise during medium load and whisper silent operating during gaming.
Game 4X Longer
EVGA ACX 2.0+ fans use double ball bearings, which offer a 4X longer lifespan than competitors.
Better Overclocking
EVGA ACX 2.0+ fans use 4X lower power than competitors, unlocking additional power for the GPU and allowing better and more stable overclocks.
Increased GPU Power
EVGA's power target (max power headroom) is precisely tuned for the perfect balance of thermal, power and performance, offering up to an increase of 33%.
Cooler GPU
EVGA's straight heat pipes offer better heat dissipation by 6% when compared to competitors bent heat pipes, for the coolest and highest performing graphics card.
Cooler Memory and VRM
EVGA's full size cooling plate makes direct contact with the memory and VRM (Voltage Regulators) reducing memory temperature by up to 14% and VRM's by up to 47%.
Dual BIOS
Multiple integrated BIOSes allow for enthusiast to save, set or backup easily.
Built for Microsoft DirectX 12
EVGA PrecisionX 16 software (included with the card) is one of the world's most popular overclocking applications with robust features and monitoring capabilities. It is also the ONLY overclocking application to offer full DirectX 12 OSD support.
