Prepping for witcher 3 and I was wondering if I should get the blower style 970 or mini gtx 970 versions of which there are several.

Can't seem to find a good benchmark website comparing these styles of 970's. I have a micro atx board in a super mid tower (antec 1100 v2) w/10 x 120mm fans so cooling isn't an issue inside the case. However, it might be since the gpus would be real close.

I'm thinking of putting my current msi gaming 970 on top and a micro 970 on bottom OR blower 970 on top and msi gaming 970 on bottom.

lemme know what you think guys! Want to order tonight and have it delivered on fri or sat!

If you can fit the bigger 970 why not get it. The mini ones wont be clocked as high as the full size cards. i would get the biggest i could fit.

i'm just worried that the top card might overheat since they'd be so close together on that mobo.

Not upgrading mobo until skylake so i have to make do for now w/what i got unfortunately

although, i have seen tight sli configurations on the net
