Review: GALAX GeForce GTX 970 EXOC Black Edition

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 11/06/2014 10:18 AM | source: | 12 comment(s)

We review the all new GALAX GeForce GTX 970 EXOC Black Edition graphics card. The product comes factory overclocked with a boost clock of 1317 MHz (!). The product has a custom and relatively small PCB, it's the cooler that makes it lengthy in a more regular fashion. Talking about that cooler, GALAX had a mission, it was to make the card both silent whilst offering temps in the 60 Degrees C range, and hey they certainly achieved that.

This is doesn't have much to do with the review but...

Any chance for coil whine testing in the future? Manufacturers don't care **** if reviewers don't say anything. I wouldn't give recommended badges to cards that have coil whine (instead I would slap fail badge). I guess that could eventually make manufacturers to improve their quality control.

Looks like a nice card, and the vrm temps seem to be nicely in check. my MSI Gaming boosts to 1342 out the box though, making it faster, also I wonder if this particular sample overclocks past 1406? because that's pretty poor.

Dear Hilbert, very nice review. Could you possibly review R290x CFX? I'm dying to see what the frame time looks like compared to nvidia with current drivers.
