The GTX 970 Gaming is a mid-range graphics card released in 2014, built on NVIDIA's Maxwell architecture. It features 1664 CUDA cores, a base clock of 1050 MHz (boosting up to 1178 MHz), and 4GB of GDDR5 VRAM (with the controversial 3.5GB + 0.5GB memory partitioning). The card supports DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan, making it capable of running older and some modern games at 1080p with reduced settings. However, due to its limited VRAM and aging architecture, it struggles with newer titles, high resolutions, and demanding graphical effects. Despite its age, it remains a viable option for retro gaming, esports, and budget setups in 2025.
