Forums - PC Discussion - Bought a GTX970 4GB wish me luck

DonFerrari on 17 August 2020

Shopee had one in an incredible promotion for GTX970 with 4Gb of GDDR5 on 128bit bus core clock 900Mhz and 192 steam cores, memory clock 4100Mhz PCI-Ex16 3.0 accepting DirectX 12, with shipping cost and discount I paid R$280 (about 52USD) and will even have a cashback of 5 USD.

It does have the HDMI, VGA and DVI outputs and is manufactured by daphne, wish me luck. Will test when it arrives and tell how it gone.

The previous SSD A400 from Kingston was delivered and spec matched.

Pretty great card. Had one myself quite a while ago. Make sure your power supply is up to the task though.

Great deal, the price is great. As other have said, be sure to have a good power supply.
Also, just asking, what's the video card manufacturer? EVGA? Perhaps Gigabyte?

edit: Forget it, i just saw "manufactured by daphne". yeah.... good luck.

That is why I need to really test it. But at least shopee have warranty for deliveries, just need to confirm asap when receive.

That's an insane price, I paid R$ 1060 for my 1660S and that was a pretty good deal back in March.

Wasn't even think about buying, but a friend sold his and was asking about if rtx would be worth and we told him to hold because of Dolar, and on meanwhile to look for some cheap one that could hold until next year. Another friend suggested 1650 Super or 5600XT, 1650 Super was about R$1100,00. Then someone posted a mercadolivre offer for 970GTX (R$800), and I looked on shopee to see how much would be a new one over there, and found this deal from an unknow brand. But since the core is still the same it should work fine if they deliver what they promised. Already eager to test.

how much does a rx 570 cost overthere? I think that the minimum I would go for a gpu nowdays. but only because of the proper 8gb vram.

Dread to think the failure rate is, never heard of that one.
