There are so many versions, I'm having a tough time checking each one out. Alas, I give up. GPUboss is a great start for giving a decent outlook but there are still specs it can't cover.


So far, I'm looking into the ASUS version but EVGA has an FTW version so I'm not so sure anymore...currently have a gtx 760 w/500w evga psu.

Let me know what you guys think. I've spent hours looking into these models and I really am stuck here.

BTW I have a Lenovo k430 and the case won't be big enough for gigabytes monster of a card

Also, I don't overclock anymore so take that into consideration

Thanks guys!

hold on.... what power supply do you have? wattage doesn't matter, its about amps on the 12v rail. if your cutting it close by 50w, then you shouldn't be putting ANY 970 in there. they all pull the same max power, give or take a few watts for the cooler, and fully capped by its power phase design, the voltage controller, and the gm204 vcore and frequency.
