If you were to buy a 970 with the specs the same from each manufacture they would all perform within 1-2 FPS of each other. Its only when you get into the SC, FTW, SSC versions that you might see some differences since each manufacture might have a slightly different speed on the card.

If your also not looking to overclock at all then i would look at a blower style card since it will...

I would go with EVGA, Customer service was A #1 both times i have called them. No jumping through hoops, explained the problem to them they gave me a RMA number. Sent the card in and a few days later got an email that it was bad and they were sending a replacement.

EVGA if certain about 970. Would recommend an MSI R9 390... which is strange for me to recommend AMD products but at this moment I see no more reason to go with a 970 over a 390 considering the 390 is marginally better.. And cheaper..

Pretty much all 970's perform about the same. It comes down to the individual card.

If your also not looking to overclock at all then i would look at a blower style card since it will push the hot air from the card out the back of the case.
