If I can get the "GeForce Gigabyte GTX 780 3GB WindForce 3 " for little less then the
"G1 GTX 970" and I am not planing on manually overclocking.

I do plan on using the factory clock speeds.


After I watched this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK6AYFcSxCs&list=UUXuqS...

I started thinking that the 900 series is better for the over clocker's and the 700 series tend to perform better out of the box


So should a non overclocker like me go for the
"GeForce Gigabyte GTX 780 3GB WindForce 3" for a smaller sum or I should pay a little more fore the "G1 GTX 970"?

And lets sharp it up even more ;

Even if the "GeForce Gigabyte GTX 780 3GB WindForce 3" had the same price as the

"GeForce Gigabyte GTX 780 3GB WindForce 3" for a none overclocking guy like me where is the bigger bang for the buck ?

the 780 and 970 are very close to one another. i would take the 970 just for the fact it has 4GB of ram over the 3gb the 780 has, in the long run it will help over the next few years for gaming.

The 970 is the better card. The 780 in that video is overclocked by over 300MHz. This is the reason many overclockers disregard his videos; he never compares cards OC to OC or stock to stock, which makes the results look screwed.
