EVGA gtx 970 questions?

gac77 · Sep 23, 2014

Are these cards as bad off as the reviews suggest?

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 23, 2014

I picked up a MSI 970 after read the negative EVGA reviews.

gac77 · Sep 23, 2014

Have you got to use it yet? If so hows the OCing and does it have a backplate?

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 23, 2014

No , it's on the way , just ordered it an hour ago , great reviews.

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 23, 2014

More and more reviews coming in with MSI at the top (770, 780, 780 Ti,) .... I expect the same from the 9xx series. Techpowerup gave the 780 Ti a 9.9 rating .... best since the only 10.0 (Asus 670 DCII TOP) they ever gave out ....

I usually go with EVGA , but some negative reviews scared me away , It's on the way from Cali should have it thursday.

I ordered the msi a couple hours ago and they are already out of stock. The msi does not have a back plate, though it does come with a mousepad!

I'm psyched can't wait tweak it and see what it can do.

Let us know how it goes, Im a bit disappointed with the EVGA lineup so far.

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 23, 2014

+1 ^ I usually go with EVGA , have 2 - EVGA SC\ACX 770's running right now.

JackNaylorPE · Sep 23, 2014

I got disappointed back in the 5xx series when everybody else was using custom PCBs with beefy VRMs and the EVGA was the only major vendor using the reference PCB / VRMs on their factory OC'd SC series.

Which negative reviews were you seeing?
Was it this?

EVGA GTX970 is 40=50$ cheaper then the others at the moment in Canada.

Have any opinion on the Zotac cards?

JackNaylorPE · Sep 23, 2014

Misaligned ... cooler doesn't match GPU / PCB layout and misses the GPU ..... Well that would explain why it's cheaper

Dark Lord of Tech · Sep 23, 2014

I don't care for Zotac cards , quality is lacking in my opinion.

Received my EVGA GTX-970 today and have no complaints works good!

balgoth17 · Sep 23, 2014

Glad to hear. I got the msi. By the way, how the heck did you get your 3570k upto 4.6!? I have the same cooler and mine is @4.0. I haven't tried to overclick it anymore. Just curious.
Sorry, a little off topic.
