Hey guys! I am currently looking into building a gaming rig to play Bf4, hardline, gta 4 and 5 modded and many more games on. Anyway, I am doing research for what 970 to buy, and I keep going back to this one card. I know it's an evga, (which isn't the best when it comes to the 900 series) but I also know it's a Ftw edition which I do believe has better cooling, and amazing clock speeds! (even tops reference 980's at 150$ cheaper) So, bottom line is this a good card?? If not what card do you recommend that can compete with this card without being a 980? Thanks for any help!

What I am planning on playing: Bf4 and hardline, Assassins creeds, Gta 4 and 5 modded, and many more games, ultra setting (Although most likely high to spare the life of my components) at really good fps (60+ fps) at 1080p

I'm in the same dilemma. I would stick with the ftw, that was my initial choice, but I'm considering the msi card

I ordered the 970 ftw yesterday. I'll tell you how it is after I use it for a bit.
