tnx

 

[Matjaz]

they try to sell it for 500 euros!idk tjis is more then 6y old so... 500 is to much.

 

[Laquer Head]

Yeah, thats nearly $800 in my currency... That is way too much for an old PC, that CPU is now 6 years old and the 3rd gen was nothing special when it was new. You can spend 500 euro in many better ways!

ty again. and 970 is 3.5 gb right?

 

[Laquer Head]

970 is 4GB GDDR5

 

[Matjaz]

3,5 + 0,5!

970 is 4GB GDDR5

I think those cards hung 512 MB of RAM off of a secondary controller, so you can only access that pool on a 32-bit bus unlike the striping across the rest of the RAM, so it tanks performance above 3.5 GB.

Yea, I collected like $35 from Nvidia in a class action because of deceptive advertising.

I never owned a 970 so i'm not 100% sure on this, but sounds like something that would be reality.

hoe good is or was 970 jevery?

The 970 is still a viable gaming card if you don't need "the best". It has a little less performance than a 1060, but a lot more than a 1050
