Thinking about upgrading my video card. I've had the one in my signature since mid-2012 and I'm finding it a bit lacking. I have a reference cooler 7870 because I'm an idiot and I got it cheap, so it overheats if I run anything too demanding on less than 70%-ish fan speed, which is like jet engine loud.
I'm a bit out of the loop hardware-wise these days. Haven't really been paying attention since 2012, but I keep hearing about the 970 and it's TDP is like 170W, which should work in my system since the 7870 is 175W? And does it just use 2 six-pins?
Thanks.
