I have a 330 power supply in my x51 that currently has an i5 3.00, 8 GB RAM and a GTX 970 ti



I have read a lot of owners upgrading to a GTX 970 card using a 330 power supply with zero issues at all


I was told the regular EVGA 970 04G-P4-1970-KR will become hot that I should go with a sure fit and sure thing, the PNY 970 VCGGTX9704XPB



Can anyone comment on this? Is there a big difference in the EVGA v.s. the PNY?



Thanks!
 
Solution
Both are based on the Nvidia reference design and neither one is overclocked.
Both will consume the same power and have identical dimensions
