Just got a EVGA GeForce GTX 970 4GB SC GAMING ACX 2.0 (04G-P4-2974-KR)
I have furmark running at 1440p windowed with anti-aliasing set to 8x. Getting framerate of 13 with safe temps and quiet fan. With no AA I get about 43 frames per second. OC'd in MSI Afterburner up to 1500 MHz core and 4000 MHz memory without increasing voltage and it's stable. Idles at 43 degrees and 38% fan quietly.
I'm having trouble getting it set to 4K 60Hz display. Maybe I'm retarded but I've fiddled with it all day and I can only get the output to 60Hz with artifacts for 10 seconds before it blanks out and reverts. I know the TV can do 4K at 60Hz over HDMI but right now I can only get 30Hz to work. The TV only has HDMI so that's my only option.
Should I return it and get something else? I'm stuck at a 600 watt PSU so I probably won't want AMD again. Also I paid $279 for it, did I get fucked? Or should I wait till Christmas and get another GTX 970 to SLI, then upgrade my mobo, PSU and CPU as well?

You need a 980ti

I fucking knew somebody would complain about the 3.5 GB thing. I knew that going into the purchase. Honestly I really don't give a shit if it's only 3.5 GB
>>51802356
very pricey for me. should I just SLI the 970 instead?

Get the air cooled fury.
It'll be great for higher resolutions because of hbm.
Also you might be able to unlock it to a full fury x.
>>51802372
because 3.5 is directly related to resolution you moron
Im getting a 970 cause my monitor is 1080p
You on the other hand should have bought AMD.
>>51802310
I literally always recommend the 970 over the 290 but with 4k you really want to go AMD. Especially with your budget. If you can get in a 980ti go Nvidia.

You wish.
Don't listen to these other faggots, OP, GTX 970 is a great card.
The human eye can't see more than 3.5GB anyway.
