The EVGA GTX 970 graphics adapter is based on the advanced Maxwell 2.0 architecture. NVIDIA announced this model on 19.09.2014. At the core of the card is a chip created with modern lithography. The die houses 5.2 billion transistorsistors transistors, and its area is 398 mm². The model's computational arsenal includes 1664 universal processors. Also available are 0 specialized cores for ray rendering and 0 cores for accelerating artificial intelligence. The memory subsystem features GDDR5 modules with a total capacity of 4 GB. The bus width is 256 bit bits, and the peak data exchange rate is 224.40 GB/s. The GPU's base clock speed is 1050 MHz, and in Boost mode, it can automatically increase up to 1178 MHz. The nominal thermal design power is 148 W. For stable system operation, a PSU of 300 W or more will be required.
