Zotac GeForce GTX 970 AMP! Extreme Core Edition Review – The Faster GTX 970

Game Benchmark Results

For the game benchmark, I used the following games to test the Zotac GTX 970 AMP! Extreme Core Edition: Assassin’s Creed: Unity, Battlefield 4, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Crysis 3, Ryse: Son of Rome, Shadow of Mordor, Metro Last Light and Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward Benchmark tool. I used Fraps to record the minimum, maximum and average frames per second. The higher the frame rate the better. At 30fps the game is very much playable, but 60fps provides a better and smoother gaming experience.

    • Hi Jesús. Thanks! Glad you liked the review. The sample we got doesn’t have any coil whine issues. As for VRAM, it depends on the game you are playing. It’s usually just around 3GB, or less. Haven’t tested it on 4K yet.
