EVGA GTX 970 4GB GDDR5 Graphics Card (Renewed)

Name: EVGA GTX 970 4GB GDDR5 Graphics Card (Renewed)
Brand: EVGA
SKU: 04G-P4-1970-KR-cr

Overview

The EVGA GTX 970 (04G-P4-1970-KR) is a renewed graphics card based on NVIDIA's Maxwell architecture, which was celebrated for its exceptional performance-per-watt when it launched. With 4GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit interface, it provides the bandwidth needed for smooth 1080p gaming across a wide range of titles, particularly those released during and before its generation. The card's efficient power draw means it runs cooler and quieter than many alternatives, and it can typically operate on a modest 500W power supply without issues.

Connectivity is well-covered with DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI, and DisplayPort outputs, accommodating virtually any monitor configuration including multi-display setups. SLI support is included for users who want to pair two GTX 970 cards together. As a renewed unit, this EVGA GTX 970 has been professionally tested for full functionality, making it a budget-conscious choice for building or upgrading an older gaming PC, setting up a home theater PC, or adding dedicated GPU acceleration to a workstation. While it won't compete with current-generation hardware on modern titles, it remains a reliable and efficient performer for 1080p gaming and everyday GPU-accelerated tasks.
