Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the GeForce GTX 970 4GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card's performance, especially its ability to deliver high frame rates and excellent visuals at various resolutions. Many also praise the card's quiet operation, ease of installation, and good value for the price. However, some users mention needing a sufficiently powerful power supply and note potential issues with heat and coil whine in certain instances. A small number of users also point out limitations related to the card's memory capacity.

    What is there to say? It's a gtx 970 solid graphics card. Only one complaint though, Best Buy has this way over priced. I bought it at my local Best Buy but I had to price match it with Newegg.com to save me like 40 bucks. Really good card would recommend for the latest games. Thanks Best Buy.

    This is a great card that has a lot of power, and OC capabilities, even with it being SC out of the box. I do have a little more fan noise than I should, however EVGA offers a 3 year warranty on this product, and they back their warranties up like no one else, so it is not a concern of mine.

    I was kind of hesitant to buy the 970, but so far so good I can't complain. I can pretty much run any game on max settings. The only con is that the fans are slightly loud, but It doesn't really bother me. If your looking for a good card, I'd highly recommend this one. Experience: 4+ years

    I was debating to get this one or a 390. This one was cheaper by 15 dollars at the time and I got this one due to that.

    This card will play pretty much any game at max settings at 1080p and does it with ease, doesn't even ramp up playing any game I've tried, couldn't be happier!

    Fast and very smooth running video card. If you can afford the cost its worth it. (Price match) The card sits right in the sweet spot for cost and functional game play.

    I purchased this card as an upgrade to my GTX 470 SC from EVGA and am impressed. All of my games from GTA V to FFXIV and Heavensward run perfectly at ultra settings. The price was very competitive and Best Buy even price matched a competitor for me. Great deal!

    The EVGA GeForce GTX 970 flawlessly executes 60 fps on 1080p resolution with high settings on most modern games, and it is extremely worth the investment if upgrading or building a new PC. I was worried this beast wouldn't fit in my mid-tower but I worked it in there and it fit flawlessly The fans are quiet, but when cranking up a graphically intensive game, they can start to run faster and has potential to be too loud for some people. I have been having a blast with this thing, and definitely would recommend to any friend.

    I have had two nvidia 560's running in sli and this one card blows that away. This was the only upgrade I have had to do to my computer for the last 3 yrs. what a difference. I usually go sli but there is no need to with this card.

    Great graphics despite the 3.5 gig video ram "issue" that has yet to rear its ugly head. Skyrim I can crank the graphics all the way up without issue. Dragon Age Inquisition and Diablo 3 also run great, and its cool and quite to boot!
