I actually have heard of driver issues causing similar problems to what u are experiencing. Download DDU and your current GPU Driver. (Do not install yet) http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html and uninstall all nvidia software on the computer. Restart...

Fine if the card is that hot but still preforming without throttle then god bless but if my Maxwell card was getting that hot I would be doing something about it.

Yea ur running sli that makes sense. He is not. In general maxwell should never be that hot.

Bro 8gb ram is definitely one of ur problems. U will have no ram available just from running black ops 3 and a web browser at which point ur comp will start using virtual memory which will greatly slow everything down. 770 is still fine to use for 1080 and lower but u will not be able to max...

The 770 is getting outdated if u want to continue to use It - which there is nothing wrong with the 770 is still a nice card - then u will have to play with settings and start optimizing games to get an enjoyable experience. The 770 cannot play new games at max settings it just isn't going to...

Open up task manager while ur playing and look at the % of usage values are for the ram and diskdrive. If either are consistently being maxed then that may be the problem. I don't believe elder scrolls uses that much vram so that isn't the issue for that game but GTA V is one of the very few...

Cards are really safe and easy to oc nowadays. U can turn everything up to max except core and men clock and nothing will happen. Volts to max Target temp to max Target power to max Core clock + 200 Set your own fan curve Run a stress test like unigin heaven or just start playing a game. If...

I wouldn't go over 80 and a 970 should never be getting that hot unless there is a problem. Mine doesn't go above 65 degrees.

First of all 75 ish degrees isn't going to hurt the card but for a Maxwell yes that is rather warm. Second u need intake fans bro. Take the 2 off the side and either flip them so they are drawing in air rather than pushing out or move them somewhere else in the case but still make sure u flip...

Silly question but after entering the values u wish and pressing enter - because u can and should be entering it manually - do u click the big check mark below to save and apply the new settings? And Vellinious is right if u mean that once u enter the values u don't see an immediate rise in core...

If u just got it recently and it already has problems just RMA it man, contact MSI or whoever u bought it from for details and u should get a replacement card free of charge. Except maybe shipping it to them.

Additional volts don't really mean what they used to, crank the volts all the way up or all the way down, u won't see much of a difference anywhere except in the voltage graph obviously. Your issue is the heat my friend - and what u are experiencing is thermal throttling. Once a card reaches a...

Same GPU architecture is going to yield similar results. The 970 is no exception, all the 970s will perform similarly. I would choose between; Gigabyte G1 Gaming Asus Strix OC EVGA SSC or FTW MSI (the red one, gaming?) In my opinion go with the cheapest but like I said man all 970s will...

Nah if he turns settings down and is still experiencing the problem its not the game or the fact that its a new intensive title the problem is the GPU. Which 970 do u have? How old is ur PSU? What GPU are u coming from and did u ever have a temp problem with it? My 970 running at 1540mhz with...

lol good point u are definitly right about that, that 60gb is way too much! :)
