we took a look at the reference edition gtx 980 now let's take a look at a partner card the zotac now this card is the amp omega so it's the end-all be-all of overclocking cards and it has some pretty amazing features so with that said let's jump in and let's see what the zotac and Omega GTX 970 is all about now like I said folks this is not a reference base card at all this card is completely aftermarket starting off with that ice storm cooling you guys can see the two fans right there on top we spin the card around you guys can see they clearly have the zotac name emblazoned right on the side of the card now one thing that's really different about this car though is instead of having two 6-pin power connectors this has two eight pin power connectors and that's gonna actually help a lot in the overclocking design of the card if we flip the card around the back you guys can see it's got a lot of cool stuff including their power boost technology and in the OC plus which you can do live overclocking via USB so this is something totally different that ZOTAC is implementing in their cards now there are a couple of facts that you guys are gonna want to pay attention to before you go by this cards you want to make sure the dang thing is gonna fit and that you have the proper power supply to do so now this thing is a three slot design that's right it's really really big but under those same things this card is also going to be able to overclock much better because you're gonna have a lot more Headroom in your power another thing for the question gets thrown out there because I know you guys are going to ask this on launch date and Vidya provided all of the 980 cards for all the reviewers around the world but all the nine 70s were provided by all their manufacturing partners so on this launch date all the reviews you're gonna see on nine 80s are all gonna be referenced and all the nine 70s are gonna be non-reference which is still pretty cool for those of you who watched the 980 video earlier most of the features on the 970 are exactly the same you still get the four gigabytes of memory the same memory speed same 256-bit memory interface some of things are going to be different however are gonna be your core clock your boost clock and obviously your cuda cores the model that we're looking at today which is the ample Meg it has a core of 1102 megahertz and a boost of 1241 megahertz the standard version has a core clock of a thousand seventy six and a boost of 1216 the memory clock speed is also higher on this car than the standard 980 on the 980 you had seven thousand megahertz on this card you have seven thousand forty six megahertz of memory clock speed so it's an itty-bitty bit faster now mentioning CUDA cores the GTX 980 has 2048 and the GTX 970 has sixteen hundred and sixty-four taking a look at the connect a TS card you can see that features three display ports a single HDMI and a single DVID connector alright folks so there it is all the features speeds and fees but now let's get to the heart of matter and what you care about most the benchmarks hi folks so there you guys have it launch day for Nvidia's new 9 series cards this is the zou Tech and Omega Edition you guys can tell it just by the way this card's built with all its cooling its dual eight and power connectors this thing is for the power user who wants to overclock their card and with that said I think this cards gonna do very well in that arena and will actually the video on that a little bit later on as we actually work our way into getting familiar with these cards we actually had like literally 48 hours with the card the driver to bring you guys all these reviews it was the literally shortest time period before launch that I've ever seen in my life and probably why you guys are watching this video I'm probably in the middle of the second keynote at game 24 at Nvidia so I'm Mel our caretaker tomorrow thanks for watching all the pricing availability everything else about this car will be downloadable that like button so if you guys interested in pushing this card or just checking out more stuff about it it will be down there if you like what you see and you want to see more than hey makes your subscribe because we've always got killer stuff going on here on techo tomorrow see you guys later
