I've heard that most 970s have coil whine issues, fps stutters, fan problems and so on. Which gtx 970 is the best on market today? EVGA ACX 2.0 SSC? MSI 100ME? Gigabyte G1 Gaming ? or Asus strix? Thanks for the answer

Coil whine is RMA able. All those problems are.

There's no data kept.

There are isolated reports of problems and comment such as cards are more reliable than they were. That's about it.

You can also look at User reviews in Newegg. But a lot of reviews only get there because they are a gripe. Sometimes faults can be attributed to the user eg poor case, psu selection, bad overclocks.

also, since the launch most of them have updated there PCB's etc so all those issues that were there at launch are probably gone by now.

I like my MSI card. I gdo have a bit of coilwhine but I can live with it. I got a card from the 1st batch
