Konklusion
Med STRIX GTX 970, har ASUS lavet et nærmest fejlfrit grafikkort, rettet mod den almindelige gamer. Ud af kassen kommer STRIX med et mindre overclock, der kan hæves yderligere 10% uden problemer. Køleren er effektiv og starter kun i forbindelse med 3D tunge applikationer, og kun ved tunge spil og overclock kan den høres i et meget støjsvagt kabinet.
STRIX kortet fra ASUS er et sikkert køb, hvis du leder efter et GTX 970. Kun overclock entusiaster skal måske kigge på mere ekstreme kort.
Innovation/Teknologi - 5
NVIDIA's nye chips leverer høj ydelse og lavt strømforbrug, med muligheden for at slå blæserne helt fra. Under overfladen finder vi 5.2 milliarder transistorer og 4GB RAM.
Bundle/Tilbehør - 2
Bundlen er minimal og indeholder kun installationsguide samt en driver. Det er lige en tand for lidt i denne prisklasse, så vi lander på 2 points.
Design/Layout - 5
Køleren på STRIX kortet er blandt de største men også bedste, både når det kommer til støj og effektivitet. Designet passer ind de fleste steder, hvor både bagplade og køler er lavet i metal. Der er også nogle gode detaljer såsom LEDs, der viser om strømstikkene er sat rigtigt i. Vi ender på 5 points.
Software/BIOS - 5
Kortet leverede stabil ydelse hele vejen igennem testen. Blæserne der stopper helt når kortet ikke er belastet, hvilket er en rigtigt fin feature. GPU Tweak programmet gør det muligt at kunne skrue op for spænding og power target.
Ydelse - 5
GTX 970 chipdesignet giver en meget høj effektivitet i forhold til strømforbruget og ydelsen kan skrues mere op hvis man overclocker.
Pris - 3
ASUS forlanger 2950,-kr for deres STRIX model af GTX 970. Det placerer kortet i den høje ende af markedet, og flere af konkurrenternes tilsvarende modeller er en tand billigere. Ligeledes kan man erhverve et 290X med aftermarket køler for 2700,-kr. Der er derfor meget konkurrence i denne priskategori, men grundet en god køler og høj ydelse lander STRIX kortet på 3 points.

STRIX card from ASUS is a safe buy if you're looking for a GTX 970. Only overclocking enthusiasts may need to look at more extreme cards.
Innovation/Technology - 5
NVIDIA's new chips deliver high performance and low power consumption, with the ability to turn the fans off completely. Under the surface, we find 5.2 billion transistors and 4GB of RAM.
Bundle/Accessories - 2
The bundle is minimal and contains only the installation guide and a driver. It is just a tad too little in this price range, so we land on two points.
Design/Layout - 5
The cooler on the STRIX card is among the largest but also the best, both when it comes to noise and efficiency. The design fits in most places where both the backboard and the cooler is made of metal. There are also some nice details such as LEDs to show the power connectors are plugged in. We end up at 5 points.
Software/BIOS - 5
The card delivered stable performance throughout the test. The blower stops completely when the card is not loaded, which is a really nice feature. GPU Tweak program makes it possible to turn up the voltage and power target.
Performance - 5
GTX 970 chip design provides a very high efficiency compared to the power consumption and performance can be boosted up more if you overclock.
Price - 3
ASUS demand in 2950 DKK for their STRIX model of the GTX 970. This places the card at the high end of the market, and several of the competitors' equivalent models are a bit cheaper. Similarly, one can acquire a 290X with aftermarket cooler for 2700 DKK. There is much competition in this price category, but due to a good radiator and high performance, lands STRIX card on 3 points.
