10 Aug 2021 - Graphics card reviewed

A mid to low level graphics card, the GeForce GTX 970 Zotac AMP! Omega Core 4GB Edition is found in budget machines nowadays, struggling to meet AAA system requirements.

All games with system requirements of DirectX 12 or lower are met by this card.

Here is a quick game performance synopsis for the AAA games played in 2023. In particular we focus on how well the GeForce GTX 970 Zotac AMP! Omega Core 4GB Edition runs at Ultra graphics settings and what frames per second it is getting at 1080p, 1440p and 4K monitor resolutions. In terms of performance against the most demanding games today this graphics card can play 440 of the 1000 most demanding PC games beating their recommended requirements.

First we looked at 1080p resolution for the GeForce GTX 970 Zotac AMP! Omega Core 4GB Edition performance to explore what sort of benchmarks it would achieve on the popular title Battlefield 2042 and saw it deliver weak frames per second across the following graphics settings - Low: 34 FPS, Medium: 27 FPS, High: 18 FPS and Ultra: 13 FPS. We proceeded to look at Resident Evil 8 to see how that compared and saw that it returned a playable 31 FPS at Ultra 1080p.

People are turning their increasingly more powerful graphics cards to the popular 1440p screen size so we tested the GeForce GTX 970 Zotac AMP! Omega Core 4GB Edition to see how it performs on 1440p. First off we have looked at Battlefield 2042 where it was weak. The frame rates it scored for the game presets were - Low: 26 FPS, Medium: 21 FPS, High: 14 FPS and Ultra: 10 FPS. We added Resident Evil 8 to our tests and saw it was weak with a 23 FPS at Ultra 1440p. And then tested Dying Light 2 which got 19 FPS at Ultra 1440p. After a look at the popular games running at 1440p with the GeForce GTX 970 Zotac AMP! Omega Core 4GB Edition, this is going to need to lower its graphics settings to medium on modern games.

How many years will the GeForce GTX 970 Zotac AMP! Omega Core 4GB Edition graphics card play newly released games and how long until you should consider upgrading the GeForce GTX 970 Zotac AMP! Omega Core 4GB Edition in your PC? This GeForce GTX 970 Zotac AMP! Omega Core 4GB Edition card has 12 to 18 months of latest AAA game play left in it before upgrading should be considered
