The best Gtx 970? which one?
Hello guys,

I finally decided to sell my 270x and upgrade to 970!

However now I don't know which one to buy. With AMD is simple Sapphier is the best espasially tri-x.

But here I can't decide between MSI, EVGA TWF and Asus, they are all greate and they all having COIL WHINE so don't really have a choice of avoiding it.

Anyway which one should I buy?

I like the style of MSI but I don't really like the future of not working fan untill reaching 50C. Also it is the fastest after OCing.

EVGA TWF is the fastest befor OC but not far from MSI after OC.

Asus is Asus good quality never in stock but not the fastest at all before and after OC.

So which would you buy?

Thanks

Fits in my antec 302 case. Its about 12.5 or so inches. In the end g1 is a great choice

Lol...on newegg website says that the card is 16inch long and It would be too big for my case! But it is the size of the box and the card it self is about 13inch and it is going feet in my case!!!

I finally decided for my self that Gigabyte G1 is the best gtx 970!!! It can be overclokced to 1591 where Asus is stable at 1501 only... Also it has the best cooling system out of all 970. So G1 is the winner for me!

My r9 270x can run everything but I am looking to buy 144hz monitor with g-sync so that's why I am looking for a new Nvidia Video card!

We are poor people because most of us already have everything that is need but we always looking for something better because there is never enough!

Also I don't know what else can I buy for my bd...

My vote is for the Asus for all the reasons mentioned previously and also $40 more is nothing to worry about when you're spending $700 on a card but my question is why are you buying a 970 when you are only gaming at 1080p? What is it you can't run?

True, dual bios is a bit useless... Asus is a greate card and what I am trying is to get the best performance out of my money!!! G1 in NZ is 50$ usd cheaper but in USA G1 is more expensive so I am trying to find out whether should I pay extra 50$ for Asus! Does it worth it?

I just found an article where asus and msi were destroyed by G1 mostly in everything!!!

http://www.overclock.net/t/1516121/gtx-970-comparison-s...

So I guess now it is all about Asus with a good reputation and G1 with higher clock and better cooling solution!
Also G1 has a double bios where Asus doesn't!

I still don't have any idea what I am going to buy but I have two weeks so I will let you know later.

Thank you all!!!
