Have anyone experienced this card yet? I have only found a single review of the 960 version, which isn't that positive: http://www.geeks3d.com/20150603/asus-turbo-geforce-gtx-960-oc-2gb-review/

It is about $30 cheaper than the Asus GeForce GTX970 4GB OC Black Edition where I live, so I dont know if It is worth the extra cost?

From the article:

"PROS:
– GM206 GPU (Maxwell)
– HDMI 2.0 for 4k @ 60 Hz
– nice GPU temperature at idle state (26°C)
– three DisplayPort connectors and one HDMI connector
– factory-overclocked
– correct power circuitry, no GPU throttling
– low power consumption under load (120W)


CONS:
– simple bundle (only a paper install guide)
– 2GB of graphics memory
– no backplate for mechanical protection
– high GPU temperature under load
– VGA cooler with little (read acceptable) noise (both idle and load – problem with this particular sample?)
– VGA cooler case in plastic material."

I would say the cons outweigh the pros, go for the Asus GeForce GTX970 4GB OC Black Edition or if your on a strick budget then the factory OCed version of the 960...

I think I will go with the black edition then. But I haven't been able to find reviews of this card either. It is not the same as the Strix edition right?
