NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 is ideal for gaming up to QHD (2560*1440) resolution and it can handle the latest games on medium and high settings depending on the game. With the 300 Watt TDP it can be hot under load, and you have to wear headset to ignore the fan noise. We recommend an Intel i7 or similar CPU and 8 GB of RAM for an optimal gaming performance, and it requires at least 600W PSU.The performance per price ratio is one of the best in it’s category, so we can strongly recommend if this card fits into your budget.
